“Suffering isn’t an obstacle to being used by God. It is an opportunity to be used like never before.” - Levi Lusko
Today we received confirmation of what our doctor told us two weeks ago. The FACTS are that cancer has metastasized into my lungs and lymph nodes. We are reviewing treatment plans and will continue to do that over the next week.
The TRUTH is that God is not surprised - these “new developments” aren’t new to Him at all. He has a plan - even in this - and we know that He will ultimately bring healing. Either miraculously, or by medicine, or by taking me home to Heaven one day. He knows best. The bodies we occupy are temporary dwellings for all of us!
Yesterday, when I was feeling afraid, God reminded me in so many ways that He is present. He took me through a recitation of all the lessons He has taught us over the last four years. One of the most important was this quote by Levi Lusko. And while I don’t feel that I am suffering right now, over the last four years, I have absolutely experienced feeling useless at times. Satan would try to make me believe that I had been sidelined from God’s purpose for me. To make me wonder if God was aware of my situation. But what I have found to be true, time and time again, is that God is using my circumstances for good and that we can continue to trust Him, and that this IS His purpose and plan for me.
God is very concerned about the details of each of our lives, and He wants us to lean into Him! It is my prayer that God uses this situation in our lives to show His Glory!
