Psalm 145:3 “Great is the LORD and greatly to be praise.”
Romans 8:37 “No, in all these thing we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
“It’s a solid mass, a rare tumor, and there is no cure. Your child is dying.”
Devastating Words
How does a mother cope with such devastating words? A mother whose only ‘god’ was the doctor. The doctor was suppose to heal, protect, fix this illness that she just learned consumed her 22 month old daughter. He said he couldn’t help. SHE’S DYING!
Early Years
In my early years, I grew up in church. My parents were faithful in attending. Mother was active on committees and taught Sunday School. My maternal grandfather was a Presbyterian minister. I had the most godly paternal grandmother. The head knowledge was there, but not the heart. I didn’t know Jesus as my Lord and Savior
Fear Filled Moment
That day in July 1976, family and friends were gathered when we learned the news. I began uncontrollably shaking. At that moment, time stood still. Nothing else mattered. Life had changed to an unknown. An uncertainty of what tomorrow would hold and only the moment mattered. A moment filled with fear.
A Walk of Silence
My dad, the wisest man I have ever known, suggested we go for a walk. We walked around the parking lot in silence. There was not a word from him of confidence or hope. Even though, I knew he would be there for me in love and support, the One I needed, I didn’t know. The One that could provide comfort and strength was not part of my life.
The Struggle to Find Answers
Is that where you are today? Lost in a world of desperation without the One who can give you that comfort and strength in time of need? Are you struggling to find answers to a problem?
The Bible says, “Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 HCSB
I will be sharing through the coming weeks and months my story. The pain and hardship is still raw after 40 years. These will not be consecutive because I have to stop to breathe fresh air from God. God has been faithful and has blessed my family. I believe the time has come to share my walk with the Lord.
