I was almost going to skip writing this post, because, to be honest, I’m a tad bit nervous. I’ve only been a Christian for just over 3 years and I still find it difficult to share my faith with those who are opposed. For so long I didn’t know if I even believed in a God, let alone believe in the actual Christian doctrine of a human man who was born of the Spirit and then crucified for all of human kind and then raised from the dead. I mean, honestly, that’s a little far fetched for someone wh...

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him…
As I've been going through this experience, I have received amazing support from my friends and family. I hope that all of you reading my blog understand just how much you all mean to me, but this blog post is going to mention one person in particular. And luckily, he gave me permission to use his name and to write about how he fits into this next step of my journey.
Isaac Myers is a very dear friend of ours. He and my husband went to the Catch the Fire School of Ministry together and now ...

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding…
Hi again. So, as a quick reminder, it had been almost two weeks since I had been told the doctors believed I had cancer. I had begun eating an almost 100% alkaline diet (part of MY plan). I had called the naturopathic cancer doctor and had now scheduled an appointment to go see him (again, part of MY plan). I had scheduled an MRI and CT scan and I had been given a scripture by God to help me understand what was happening and how to stand in His Word and believe in His promises to get through...

Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood…
Okay, so here is all that God was teaching me as I read Revelations 12 many times during the following 24 hours after He first led me to read it. Obviously there is a similarity between me and the woman under attack in the bible. And a similarity between the war against her offspring. Now, I totally understand that this chapter is all about Jesus His offspring, the church, but, the similarity was just too close to be a coincidence so I asked the Lord, what is it you want me to know? Well, He is ...

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...

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 ...
