PEACE WITH BREAST CANCER

It's good to remember the mercies we receive in sickness. Recalling my desparate prayer as I awakened from cancer surgery sixteen years ago, I tear-up at the loving-kindness of God.

In that dimly lit recovery room, I didn't pray for God to heal me. I was more concerned about chemo making me nauseous. God gave me peace with breast cancer when I realized that live or die, I was His and He was mine.

Before the sun rose that morning, I felt His consoling arms around me. Then He gave me a song: "Sheltered In The Arms of God". It was one of the highest spiritual moments in my life.

Isaiah 38:5  Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith The Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.

God answered my prayer. To my surprise, I didn't get nausea with chemo. I later learned I had a 15% chance of survival.
