God’s Plans
I don’t know why I
am always amazed by what God does. When
I started this blog, my intent was to do it for myself and not let anyone
know. I was going to turn on all privacy
settings and just write through my feelings.
Most likely, I’d have deleted everything very early on. However, when I felt the Lord leading me to
share it with everyone, I felt that I needed to let it be available to the
entire Internet world. I started writing
about what God was doing in my life and shared it with anyone who was willing
to read it. I know most people get to it
through FB. Maybe some people even have
it saved as a bookmark. According to the
stats, there have been page views from Russia and other countries! I thought only a small group of my friends would
ever be interested and that those people would eventually lose interest. Boy, was I wrong! Maybe those Russians just happened upon my
page and didn’t even read it. Even so,
it’s out there for the whole world to read, and I hope you share it with folks
too.
After my last
post, I received a comment from a lady named Heather who wanted me to use my
blog to help share her story. Before I get into it, I didn’t even know the
comment section was turned on! In fact,
I’m pretty sure I’d turned it off when I started the blog. Most of you have sent me very encouraging
comments through FB, and I welcome those.
I just think it’s so stinkin cool how God can turn on the comment section
on a blog!
So, back to
Heather. Heather was diagnosed with
mesothelioma about seven years ago; right after her daughter was born. She had to spend several months away from her
sweet baby so that she could get treatment (and here I am, thinking a few hours
away from Fishy is the end of the world!). She and her husband participated in
a short video about their journey to help raise awareness about this horrible,
yet little known, cancer. The link to
the video is below, and I encourage you to take a few minutes to listen to
Heather’s story. We’ve all been affected
by cancer in some way, and thank God Heather beat the odds and is here today to
follow God’s plan for her life and help raise awareness of mesothelioma!
How cool is it
that God somehow led Heather to my blog so that it can be used as a tool to
help her with her mission for Him?
Again, I don’t know why I’m always amazed at God’s plans, but I think
it’s really neat that when I surrender to His Will, incredible things happen.
Don’t forget to
watch Heather’s video! I have more
things to share in another post (hopefully soon), but I wanted to devote this
one to Heather’s story. http://www.mesothelioma.com/heather
Jeremiah 29:11 ~ “For I know the plans I
have for you,” declares the Lord. “Plans
to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
My prayer for you
is that you will follow God’s plans for you and be amazed at His awesomeness J
