    Thank You, Lord, for your Word! Praise you for your perfect timing! How amazing is every lesson you have for me! Every time you open my eyes a little wider and make my sight a little clearer I am amazed how perfectly you orchestrated my lesson! I would never be able to express my awe of You, my Creator, not even if I lived forever. My prayer is for every person to feel and watch You move in their life in a BIG way like you've done in mine, over and over, so they have no doubt of your existence and no denial of Your love for us!! Forgive me for doubting your faithfulness to me, and keep me from doubting you ever again!! It is the darkest feeling to admit my doubt in Your promise to never forsake me. I admitted my doubt and fear today to my momma in front of You with so much fear of my words hurting You and angering you with me. How dare I ask "why me?" Who am I to complain about anything? You allowed the sin of the whole world to fall on your perfect and blameless child, but I complain about my small share of suffering? How foolish and ungrateful of me. But, Praise Your Name, you heard me, you saw me, you gently and lovingly corrected me, and you restored my faith in that moment. I WILL take on this next battle with cancer you've allowed on me like I have the times before and I WILL trust in Your Holy plan even though I have no idea why so much suffering has been in Your Will for me. I will trust that it is all for Your Glory, and I thank you that my life might be used for your Glory. Thank you for Job and how you used his life to show us the obedience you want from us. It is awesome to watch you work in my life. My Father, Creator, Counselor, Master, Savior, my precious Jesus!! Thank you for your mercy and grace and love that never ends!!!

    Haley,

    Your words have truly ministered to my heart. You have shared with us a perfect example of what it means to place one's complete trust in Jesus Christ. You have reminded me of what it means to remain under our circumstances, no matter how hard those circumstances might be, and knowing that the Lord oftentimes places hardships in our lives in order to teach us how to trust in Him. You've demonstrated that trust. I can't see how anyone reading your words would not be blessed by them. Your words have caused me to examine my own walk with Christ, and for that I say thank you. My prayers are with you as you deal with cancer. I lift you up to the Lord and pray for His will to be done in your life. May He continue to strengthen you and guide you in every path that He sets before you.

    Wow! I had no idea anyone had responded to my post, but praise God that my desperate rambling was used to speak to anyone at all. I doubted it would ever even be read by an actual person.

    Thank all of y'all who were guided to respond. It means so much to me to feel heard. I appreciate any prayer for my life, my health, my restoration, and please go on.. but if I may ask for specific prayers for my young twin daughters? Their names are Bonnie and Baylee, and they are 8 years old. Beautiful, smart and tender hearted, and so far they love Jesus! Unfortunately we lost their daddy and my husband in a car accident when they were only 15 months old. It hasn't been easy, and I know it might be a long while until there are better times ahead. All because of the clarity the Lord gave me throughout yesterday and today, I am finally beginning to really really be at peace with God's purpose for my life, and wether he restores my health or ends my life on earth I will rejoice in His promises because now I KNOW Jesus is using my life to glorify His name, and I pray it can be used so others can receive Jesus like I have!, I just pray PLEASE Lord, that my girls see Christ through me. I can't say how much it would mean to me that anyone would see fit to lift up my daughters in prayer at my request. And I ask for this of anyone who will, because I am the best at forgetting to focus on Jesus and not on myself. And I fall back to being a poor example of the Living Gospel of Jesus Christ. There is no more time for me to be a lukewarm Christian. They have to know their mommas life was made rich complete because of God's goodness!I'm still rambling like a crazy person, and I thank y'all for not laughing or judging how desperate I am in my spirit for God's grace to continue this raining on me. Thank you God for being ALMIGHTY and POWERFUL. Jesus ALONE is worthy of praise. Amen.

    Hi Haley.

    God bless you and thanks for sharing this with us, It's encouraging and a blessing to those of us who is going through a similar trial. Or perhaps will be. We can trust in the Lord and allow him to minister his love, mercy and peace in our lives.

    We don't have to do anything outstanding to be a recipient of God's love. Love is what he is, He displayed that through his son. stay in touch.

    We're praying with you.

    God bless.

    Here are scriptures to help you, Haley & for your twin daughters Bonnie & Baylee. I know & pray that GOD is faithful to HIS promises, when times are difficult I pray these encourage & give you strength.

    Isaiah 40:11,31, Matthew 18:2,10, Psalms 68:5, Jeremiah 49:11, Psalms 146:9, Psalms 18:27, Psalms 140:12,

    Hopefully there are some within these scriptures that you'll find helpful
