So, about a week later Jason and I are driving home from Caleb's tumble tots class. It's about a twenty minute drive straight up Bathurst for all those who know the area. We have to go through more than ten sets of lights. We are two lights from being home and we stop at a red light and Jason says this is the first red light we have hit. I immediately say out loud "okay God, what do you want us to notice - why are we stopped here".
I look around and see a church just in front of us on the cor...

Mark 4:22 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed…
On the way home from that strange doctors appointment I immediately resorted to my own knowledge. Despite still having faith in His promise I actually didn't ask Him what to do about it. I asked my mom to swing by the natural health food store and she bought me over $300 in organic vegetables. Trusting in my own head logic I believed that eating a complete alkaline diet would completely irradiate the cancer and so that was the strategy I was choosing to count on for healing.
I got home and be...

Job 15:8 – Have you heard the counsel of God?….
Warning, this one is a tad bit longer than all the others because it has a major plot development.
It is now September, 2012. Life is pretty good at this point. I’m still hopeful and expectant of getting pregnant. The Catch The Fire conference is next week and a very very good friend of mine is coming to visit for the week. Another friend from Bermuda that I haven’t actually met yet, but know that it is a divine friendship, is also coming for the conference. I started having thoughts tha...

Psalms 30:11. You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
It is now May, 2012. We have been home for approximately a week and I get pregnant. I knew it right away but waited until the actual day I was supposed to have my period to take a pregnancy test. The test of course was positive and I am overjoyed. So much so, I actually posted this photo on facebook.
The prayer and forgiveness worked and I am now again walking in my Promise from God. Unfortunately, it wasn't His timing yet as I still had some trials to endure. The next trial was that I be...

Isaiah 9:6 Unto us a child is born…
Challenge number one begins with the end days of my pregnancy with Caleb. I begin to have blood pressure problems. My blood pressure is raising. Uh oh. I’m put on strict bed rest, but that doesn’t seem to ease the situation so off to the hospital I go for more tests. At this point, I am 39 weeks pregnant and 3 days. They test further and yes, the blood pressure has become worrisome to them. And in addition to that, I have a low platelet count. They actually tell me I have the beginning stages of...

Job 1:8 Have you considered My servant….
So, I want to give you a bit of back story to help catch you up to my present day journey with God. Approximately 2 years ago today. Sometime in November or December of 2010, God made it very clear to me He wanted me to read the book of Job and to know it well. I was pregnant with my son, Caleb, who will be 2 in February of 2013.
Jason and I were in a challenging place learning to adjust to life back at my parents house. We had moved back from California at the leading of God to have our ...
