Trumpas Church, Trumpas New Mexico
I finished a week of radiation and it was not bad at all!!! I am now situated in the needed position for my treatments. I feel very confident that the Lord is with the Tech & I everyday, which is a great feeling. It reminds me of the verse Proverbs 3:26 ” for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared”. The verse is just wonderful.
I met a man in radiation that has throat cancer. He comes in everyday with a smile on his face and Friday we spoke. He will be finished with his treatment in the upcoming week. Strangely enough, I will miss him because he was the one in our group who always sat and quietly smiled without speaking. I oddly found a comfort in him. I told him I had a good male friend who also had throat cancer. He was so curious to hear how he was doing. I was excited to tell him he was doing great and had over come the cancer. You could just feel him light up with joy and the hope that he too would have that same out come. Aren’t we all like that, wanting to be able to hear a testimony that has a fabulous outcome. I see why Jesus talked about how important it was to tell our testimony to others, so we could build them up in faith. I have always loved the story about this young man. Luke 8: 35 -36 and 38 -39 - ” and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return home and tell how much God has done for you”. This confirms to me that God wants us to help others who are going through painful times by telling our testimonies. By doing this we can give them hope in their situation.
Have a great day – Love, Lisa

Lisa, You are SO RIGHT about the Lord’s desire to have us share our testimonies. You have quite the testimony to share, too! I know you have been a blessing to SO MANY as you have gone through this unbelievable challenge. You have certainly blessed ME with your testimony told through Pinkie!
Love You!
