I Learned To Trust

Seventeen years ago dismal silence filled the car on the ride home from the doctor's office. The breast cancer diagnosis had kicked us in the gut. Why me? Gale's voice wavered when he finally spoke.

"This shouldn't be happening to someone like you."

During the year of treatment the amazing love of God smothered me with assurance every day. Nausea pills worked --- I didn't get sick. Through it all I learned to trust in Jesus. 

I thank God for the mountains,

And I thank Him for the valleys,

I thank Him for the storms He brought me through

For if I'd never had a problem,

I wouldn't know God could solve them,

I'd never know what faith in God could do.

John 9:2,3 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
