    Faith and Doubt

    Doubt see the obstacles,

    Faith see the way;

    Doubt sees the blackest night,

    Faith sees the day;

    Doubt dreads to take a step,

    Faith soars on high;

    Doubt questions " Who believes?"

    Faith answers , "I!" Author unknown

    Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Psalm 103:1

    Lord I want to thank You for all that You do for us. Abba Father, I stop and give You reverence on this Day for just being there for us and shining your glory on each one of us today and every day. As this day begins, I (we) choose to bless you! We kneel before you, if not physically we come humble in heart and spiri and adore you for being El Elyon -- The Most High God. You are exalted above all creation and worthy of all of our praise. Going through this journey, you have brought me closer to you and you take me in your loving arms and remind me that you are in control and have been since the foundation of this world. That you knew our journey when you lessed us with life on this earth. I sit in your arms as a child and may not know why but I know that I serve an awesome and Almighty God that will show me how to walk this path. Thank you, Abba Father for loving each one of us so much that you come and see about us each and everyday. I

    Although I may not know what tomorrow brings, I do rest assured that you will order my foots steps and that you will catch me if my foot or thoughts slip. Your love and compassion envelop me when the dark thoughts and clouds try to linger. know that you watch over us and that your ministering and warring angels are ever present and form a hedge of protection around us. You are Our Righteous (Jevohah Tsidkenu) and God Almighty (El-Shaddai). I choose today to go through my day blessing you, whether my circumstances are comfortable to me or not for I know you are an ever present help in my time of need, I worship you for being Jehovah-Rapha for each one of the women and men that may have been diagnosed past, present and future. I pray that you continue to bring comfort and strength to those mentally that are just finding out about their dx, reoccurrence or progression. Lord strengthen physically those going through treatment, surgery, side effects and recovery. Continue to touch and guide the medical community and researchers as they give treatment, consultant, administer trails and continue research on this disease. Lord my continued prayers with the wonderful ladies on the Stage 4 forum. Continue to wrap your arms around them, guide them in thier treatment decisions, and assist them with any challenges they maybe facing, mentally, physically or spiritually. I bless You and Worship you for holding us in your arms if we hurt, comforting us in our time of need, using us to uplift even we we ourselves re struggling, guiding us on what and who to pray for whether known or unknown to us personally. Lord, Abba Father, I weep in praise and adoration for being privileged to be called one of your children. Even when circumstances, people or I myself fail me, you remain faithful. Yours is a kingdom for all ages, and your dominion endures through all generation. Glory and Amen! Adonai, master we love you! For being all knowing and present.

    In Jesus Name. Amen

    I Needed The Quiet

    I needed the quiet so He drew

    me aside.

    Into the shadows where we

    could confide.

    Away from the bustle where all

    day long

    I hurried and worried when

    active and strong.

    I needed the quiet tho at

    first rebelled

    But gently, so gently, my cross

    He upheld

    And whispered so sweetly of

    spiritual things

    tho weakened in my body, my

    spirit took wings

    To heights never dreamed of

    when active and gay.

    He loved me so greatly He drew

    me away.

    I needed the quiet. No prison

    my bed,

    But a beautiful valley of

    blessing instead---

    A place to grow richer in

    Jesus to hide.

    I needed the quiet so He

    drew me aside. By Alice Mortenson

    God's Undying Love

    Whenever you are sick and discouraged

    And everything seems to go wrong;

    Put Your hand in the hand of the Savior,

    The hands that are loving, but strong.

    He promised us "strength for the weary,"

    He promised His undying love.

    So, if you think you can't take it anymore--

    Turn your eyes to the Father above. Helen Ashton

    I Have Never Walked Alone.

    I'll walk but once upon the earth

    And pray that I walk it well.

    In goo things that please Thee,

    Lord, allow me to excel.

    My life while here is, oh so short

    My days are but a few.

    I understand that my life on earth

    Is just a passing through.

    Lord, may You be most proud of me.

    When You finally call me home.

    You have always walked beside me

    I have never walked alone.

    Expectations

    A babbling brook, chirping bird,

    A note of music yet unheard.

    Some say: " There is no God!"

    A drop of rain, falling leaf,

    Children playing make believe.

    Some say: "There is no God!"

    A Clear blue sky, a brilliant star,

    A tiny moonbeam shining far.

    Some say " There is no God!"

    A laughing child, an unshed tear,

    The memory of a bygone year.

    Some say " There is no God!"

    A soothing hand, a gentle sigh,

    The Gates Of Heaven, see them nigh.

    Behold: Our God!

    Reach Out for the Almighty

    Reach out for the Almighty,

    Like a child lost in the crowd.

    When troubles leave you helpless,

    He will rescue you from doubt.

    Reach out to the Almighty

    Like a seagull seeking the shore.

    His path is pure and simple,

    And you need find nothing more.

    Hold on to the Almighty

    Like a pilgrim seeking home.

    The world is dark and hurried,

    And the ship is not our own.

    Hold on to the Almighty

    Like the lonely to a friend

    His light will be a beacon,

    And His love will never end. By John Zurn

    The Lord is My Shepherd

    The Lord is my Shepherd;

    I shall not want.

    He maketh me to lie down

    in green pastures;

    He leadth me by the still waters,

    He restoreth my soul;

    He leadth me in the paths

    of righteousness for His name's sake,

    Yea, though I walk through the

    valley of the shadow of death,

    I will fear no evil;

    For thou art with me,

    Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me..

    Thou preparest a table before

    me in the presence of my enemies;

    Thou anointest my head with oil;

    my cup runneth over.

    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow

    me all the days of my life;

    And I will dwell in the house of the Lord

    for ever. Psalm 23 King James Version

    Solutions

    When we have a problem

    The solutions is at hand,

    We can take it to the Master

    For He'll always understand....

    The answer may be different

    Than what we've planned or sought,

    But God great wisdom

    Some lessons have been wrought...

    So we'll keep on praying,

    Asking guidance on the way,

    Knowing God will lead us

    To solutions right each day. By Virginia Grimmer

    It's hard to keep faith when facing all the obstacles that the cancer throws in your pathway. I, unfortunately, am struggling to keep mine. I started to lose it when I lost my only sister and sibling (38), last December to breast cancer. I now care for her two kids who live with me, and while their father is active in their lives, they depend on me a great deal. I feel so overwhelmed as each day goes by. I know I have to keep strong but as I write this, I feel so lost and so very lonely.

    Slow Down

    It took the great oak many years

    To grow so tall and strong;

    And from its teachings we should learn

    The swiftness is all wrong.

    The hurried pace that tenses nerves

    And leads to lack of sleep

    Will jog us down the race of time

    With not a friend to keep.

    If we could learn just to slow down

    And wallow through the day,

    Mid Flowers beds and spider webs

    And children drenched in play;

    If we'd take time to give a smile

    In payment for a frown;

    We might find a better world

    if we'd in fact slow down.
