I heard this song on the radio today, and I think it is going to be one of my anthems through this time. I put the lyrics below. Nothing to update on today, other than I got the flu shot, picked up medicine, and other prep work for Thursday. I am praying for a miracle tomorrow when I get my pet scan. No cancer!! But EVEN IF...I will still praise my God! Healing is mine, the Lord is my Healer, and He wants me to be healed. I was talking with Jonni today about this, and I thought, what profit is it to be healed in my physical body, yet still not know the Lord? There is a passage in scripture that says on the last day, people will say Lord Lord, we drove out demons, and healed the sick, etc. But the Lord will say away from me, for I did not know you. That just blows my mind. That's when I thought that above all, no matter what happens in this life, I want to know Him, intimately. Because eternity is a LOT longer than however much longer he has me here. I want to be free from the cares of this world...fully assured in my relationship with him. I'm not saying I'm there yet, but that is what I'm striving for now more than I ever have before, as if my very life depended on it, because it does.
I was told today that people are planning to bring me meals over the next few months...wow. I am so incredibly thankful and blessed. Thank you for all of the emails and texts and calls. They mean more than you know. If I don't answer when you call or respond to emails and texts right away, please don't stop. There have just been so many, and I will try to respond as much as I can. Even if I don't talk with you in person, your contact with me means more than I can say. Thank you with all my heart.
FOREVER REIGN
You are good, You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin
You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life,
In You death has lost its sting
Oh, I’m running to Your arms,
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I'm letting go
Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
My heart will sing
no other Name
Jesus, Jesus
Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
Yvonne I would like you too know that you are in my daily prayers throughout the day. Both you and Jonathon. We are all praying for healing here in Rochester. I am sure God will bring out of this season in your life with much wisdom and a closeness to Him that you never knew possible. May God bless you with strength and much faith. Hugs and kisses you both and the kids as well.

I think that's a perfect anthem. Isn't it wonderful how God will provide what you need - even a song on the radio - when you really need it? I'll think of you and say an extra prayer for you every time I hear that song on the radio or we sing it at church.

Continually praying!
ReplyDeleteI hope when you are in the scanner it feels like you are in a cocoon of our love and prayers.
