The Test Results are in!

I had a biopsy done on Monday of this week on some growths in my left lung. The results have come back positive for the same cancer that I had in the colon before.
It did not go through the liver or other organs, in fact they are fine and so is my blood work. But it went to the lung area and the doctor is surprised about the way it has worked in an unpredictable way in my body. The only way it showed up was in the CT Scan.
I will start chemo treatments next Wednesday to see if the cancer shrinks. If it does then they can operate to remove it, if not then they can't operate. So if you think about it keep me in your prayers. Hey, God is good - all the time, and all the time - God is good!
Things like this give you a whole different perspective on life and what it is all about.
Has anybody ever told you that God loves you and has a wonderful plan for you life..contact me if you need to know more...


James 4:13 - 15 (KJV) 13Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

PS I am always open to have a miracle done in my life.. by HIS stripes I am healed.

Blessings on Ya!

A Journey of Faith

James 1:2-3(KJV)
2My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Over the course of the last 3 years I have been dealing with cancer that was found in my body, aging, being a pastor, the truth of the Word of God and people in many different stages of life and belief. This past week I had to have a biopsy done on a nodule in my left lung because it showed up on my yearly CT scan as something that increased in size from the last scan. My Oncologist had a look of concern on his face when he told me about this change.
So here I am a "great man of faith" who preaches to others concerning their faith. What does this man do with what is on his plate? Well I have a pastor friend who also has cancer and has been dealing with it for several years and he has been given the medical prognosis that he has only a short few months to live. He has a saying that I like and I am borrowing too and it goes this way: "you can't threaten a Christian with heaven". In other words even a death sentence is just a going home soon message.
The Lord gave me scripture before cancer was found in my body and it is Isaiah 54:17,
Isaiah 54:17(KJV)
17No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

That is still my scripture and I am believing God for His Word of truth to be worked mightily in my life always.

My life is lived in God's perfect peace that passes understanding just as the scripture says it would be in Philippians.

My word for those that are going through the hard things of this life is Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, lean not to your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and HE WILL direct your paths. This truly is a journey of faith and we must stand fast in the power of His might always.
Be encouraged today and God bless you richly.
