In life there are transitions. As Christians\u00a0<\/span>we go through many transitions as we grow in Christ and become all that we can be with His amazing grace. Today I am posting about a new challenge in life that involves an area of transition for me. \u00a0It is about a struggle\u2026a struggle with cancer that I am facing as I fight for my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

This past year<\/h3>\n

I have been working on a new DVD project, but in spite of the happiness I have felt by the new project, this past year has been an extremely stressful year. I have faced opposition and persecution from places that I never expected. Yet in the face of strong opposition, God\u2019s grace has brought me through so that I have tremendous peace. However looking back, I understand that prayer support would have helped when my work was hindered and slowed more than it should have been. The body of Christ and the prayer support that we can offer each other was not there during that time because I did not ask for help. \u00a0It is time for me to ask my friends to lift me up in prayer. I need help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prayer Support<\/h3>\n

As I fight my battle for life against an enemy that wants to stop my work,\u00a0<\/span>and end my life, if you are inclined to pray for me, I would be very grateful. \u00a0I have been eighteen years cancer free, but it has come back with a vengeance. It is an aggressive enemy, but our God is able. \u00a0I choose to serve God with every breath that He gives me.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am still dedicated to serving the Lord Jesus in the ministry that He has called me to. I do not intend to stop. However,\u00a0I will need every ounce of strength that He provides, as my work will be interrupted by surgery and further treatment as the doctors consider necessary. \u00a0I will post updates on my health issues and prayer requests on this blog. If you would like to follow my personal journey, scroll down to the subscribe area on the right hand\u00a0<\/span>side to follow my posts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reasons to bless the Lord<\/h3>\n

No matter what comes my way, there are so many reasons to bless the Lord for all the good that He has done. Recently a relative sent me the song 10,000 Reasons<\/em> as a way to encourage me. I would like to share the link with my friends. I hope it will bless you as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

God\u2019s strength is made perfect in our weakness.<\/span>
