Let Love Guide

Everyone everywhere, lift up your joyful shout to God! Sing your songs tuned to his glory! Tell the world how wonderful he is. For he’s the awe-inspiring God, great and glorious in power! We’ve never seen anything like him! Mighty in miracles, you cause your enemies to tremble. No wonder they all surrender and bow before you! All the earth will bow down to worship; all the earth will sing your glories forever! Pause in his presence Everyone will say, “Come and see the incredible things God has done; it will take your breath away! He multiplies miracles for his people! Psalms 66:1-5 Today my sweet Mama had her last cancer treatment. This journey started November 2019 when her breast cancer returned and she had a bilateral mastectomy (on her birthday). This is part of the post I shared. The doctors said the cancer was minimally invasive, but we all felt very strongly she should have the bilateral mastectomy since this is a recurrence. And we praise God for Holy Spirit urgency. At her fo...

God writes the most beautiful stories. A month ago I messaged my friend and hairdresser, Leah, my next appointment would require a buzz due to starting chemo. She shared the name of a lady who had just made a custom wig for another hairdressers client. She asked on my behalf and Yolanda said she would be happy to consult.

What on earth? Praying all my years of working on my spiritual health made me the sweetest, Jesus loving crazy person. In seriousness, God has been so near and way too good to me and my family. The Emory nurses are angels and made me feel so cared for. I had a panic attack before they accessed my port and they had the Chaplain, Moira, come and be with me and she was such a calming presence. And, God has given me a beaut...
