Devotional: Look at Jesus



Our message is Jesus. It is not how “other” groups got it wrong. It’s not how “you’re a bad person.” Our message is Jesus. Often we point to the Bible and say, “this is the Word of God” and become experts on it so much so that we lose our focus and sight on Jesus. 

We fight and argue over everything. Individuals will get so wrapped up in….does this verse mean this or this verse mean that….they forget to love God and love each other, and that’s the message of Jesus…..that’s the Word of God. Look where the Bible is pointing and go there. 

Try to be Jesus where we are. Walk in the Light and He will purify us. 1 John 1:7 tells us that He continually purifies us with His blood. It was not a one and done. No, it is ongoing. 

God is where love is….walk there. Some people are hard to love, love them anyway. Don’t let the “other” voices get you out of the Garden. 

When Jesus took Peter, James, and John high up on a mountain….as we read in Mark 9, they were not alone. Jesus was transfigured and Moses and Elijah were talking with Him. What did God say to Peter, James, and John? God said, “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” If you get confused or are not sure what to do….just look at Jesus. 

Love God. Love each other. Look at Jesus. The Bible says that if we are baptized into Christ, immersed into Him….the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit come to live with us. You might not even feel They are there, but that’s okay. We aren’t saved by feelings. You now have power to look at Jesus, follow Jesus, walk with God, stay in the Garden, stay in the Light.

Amen!

Update: Liver Biopsy - PET Scan - Treatment Changes

Image
  As most of you already know, I had a Liver Biopsy, a PET Scan, and a Bloodwork Profile and I have waited to get all results prior to writing a blog post update. I also had a lengthy consultation with my Oncologist, Dr. Bondly, yesterday.  First, I want to start off with a Super Praise God moment! My Liver Biopsy confirmed that my cancer has not changed to Her2-. It remains ER+ Her2+. That means we have been on the right treatment path. There is a strong possibility, however, that the Femara, Letrozole, that I took for 18 months did not work. It is a hormone based chemotherapy taken orally. It was to help lower my hormone and estrogen levels which in-turn was to help fight my cancer. We will find out more about that from the genetic portion of the Liver Biopsy when the results come back in about 3 weeks. The Liver Biopsy did show, according to Dr. Martin, that some of my cancerous lesions had got larger.   Because of the tremendous set-back that I had with my last treatment on May 28t

CANCER: A New Complication.....My Heart

Image
I met today with the Cardiologist, Dr. Monica Hunter, at the Southview Cardiology, that I was referred to by my Medical Oncologist....Dr. Bondly. About three weeks ago, I did not feel well all day. I started to feel pressure on my chest and then had pain in my left arm. I took an aspirin, but never got to feeling better. I felt nauseated most of the day. I went to bed a bit earlier than usual and around 4:00 I woke up throwing up profusely. I threw-up a few times and then it stopped. I thought that maybe it was a virus, but also knew that it could be a heart issue.  When I met with Dr. Bondly last week, I told her what had occurred and she suggested that I see a Cardiologist. Since chemo and radiation can potentially cause heart issues, she did not want me to let it go unchecked. She put me on a low-grade adult aspirin until we know more.  Today, Dr. Hunter asked a lot of questions and I basically brought her up to current about my last 17 month journey with cancer. I shar

CANCER: Dark Days with the "Demon" Cancer....BUT God Shines Through! Amen!

Yesterday was a day filled with so many different emotions, senses, and information over-load....yet, so many unknowns. I had a scheduled appointment with my Oncologist, Dr. Cara Bondly for my follow-up since my last chemo treatment on January 23rd. She gave me a brief check-up and did lab work. Since I was only one week out from my bilateral mastectomy, there wasn't much for her to check physically. She did go over the pathology report from my surgery with me.  I was very disappointed to learn that following chemotherapy treatments there were still "live/active" cancer cells in one of the five lymph nodes that were removed during surgery. They were only 2 mm; however, they were active and the report could not definitively tell me if I have a live cell/cells that could have moved outside of the lymph node. At this point, we know that IF that has happened it would be very small and might not show up or be detectable for some time.  I further learned that I had a second
