This is a portion of my devotional that I read at night.
“As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.”- Ecclesiastes 11:5 . I am pondering this tonight and realizing and trying to accept that I cannot understand the work of God. Got it. That's what i am going to be repeating over and over in my head tonight. It should be a relief and i guess it is, to not have to worry or grasp any meaning. Only that He loves me, He died for me , He's forgiven me, and He's taking me, someday to be with Him, forever...thank goodness because , I'm not that bright. Love you guys. I'm not bummed anymore about today, just gonna get pumped up for next week and kick some cancer boutay,y'all.
Peace out
Let me hear from you people...:-}

Hi Joann~ I was so relieved and happy about your great results!! It made my day!!!! It sounds like you still have some tough times ahead with the treatments..but God does have it and he will be your rock. We never stop praying or lifting you up to HIM. So, my friend...keep fighting and we're ALL holding you up daily. Stay strong. Love, Pam L
ReplyDeleteNow faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
Ciao Joan,
ReplyDeletewhile here in Italy, I have been reading your blog from the very first day. However, I never saw that little word comments...
So finally, here I am!
Believe it or not, you are an inspiration to many many people, including myself. You know that when you are tyred of being strong, God is there to help you through, sometimes (most times),in the most inexplicable way. Keep your faith strong, and keep praying often. I am with you in prayer daily. Yes, I have my daily chats with God now, even if just a few minutes daily.
Your mass here was wonderful. Nina was with me. She prayed for you beyond mass time. I had to get back to my mom.
I went to Venice a couple of days ago. I sat in Piazza San Marco eating my sandwich, remembering your stay here. It was a lot of fun. Things here have gotten outragiously expensive, especially
with the dollar being SOOOOO LOW!
The staples of life take no exceptions, milk, bread, fruits and vegis. When I get back there's going to be some planting going on in my back yard! Care to come and have some fun?
Five more days, and I will be home. Looking forward to hug you... Love to all

Hello my friend,
ReplyDeleteWhat a day you had yesterday. It must have been such a let down. Thank God you have such nice people around you. (You always did. (:) The nurses and your friend Betty are so sweet. I wish I could hug them and you. Here it is (((HHHHH UUUU GGGGG))))).
I don't understand the work of God. I wonder why we get these crosses to carry. I do know when I pray I get a better understanding--then I lose my understanding again.
Your in my prays. Love you! Kathy
ps I hope my prays help you kick that cancer boutay!

I wanted to share this wonderful Healing Prayer
ReplyDeleteDear Lord,
We will not get tired Lord. We pray this day for all those that will be going for
chemotherapy. Loving God touch them, remove the pain and heal them in
Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Father, those that are in a state of despair, God heal their souls and grant
them hope. Touch parents, touch children, touch brothers and sisters, touch
spouses and friends of all those affected.
Thank you Lord for You hear us and you answer in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Blessings,
Kathy
ReplyDeleteThat was s beutiful, thankyou so much for that prayer. What a comfort to have you as a sister inChrist.
Love,
Joann
Hi Joann - I wanted to send a comment but it got lost when I set up this account. So I'll try again.
ReplyDeleteYou previously mentioned being interested in a book. Have you read, Lies Women Believe And The Truth That Sets Them Free by Nancy DeMoss. This book exalts God and his strength for us as we seek him in all the confusion of our lives. I got a copy from the library but might have to order one for myself to re-read often !
Fondly,LB
