The "C" Word

I've thought about how too lead into this post, but I can't think of a good way to do it.  So, I guess I'll just say it.......I found out this week that my mom has been preliminarily diagnosed with cancer.  We won't know for sure until later in the week, as confirming tests will need to be done.  She has a pretty large mass around her stomach and a couple smaller ones around her lungs.

Yep, the big "C" word.  It's one of those words that freezes you in place for a few seconds before you can even think or respond.  You're kind of numb and don't really focus too clearly.  Now, I know of many people that have overcome this disease, but unfortunately your mind does not gravitate to them first.......

However, now that I've had some time to think a little, my faith is growing.  I know that God is not scared of cancer, and this situation is not a surprise to Him.  My mom is a child of His that He cares about very much.  We have many friends and fellow believers praying that she will be totally healed.  THAT's what we will be believing for and praying fervently.  Please join me as we stand on the promises of scripture and believe that God will bring healing to my mom, Peggy J. Steen.

Thanks.
