I am celebrating over 5 years cancer free. I want to share how a determined, positive spirit and undoubting faith in God guaranteed that I would live through a late stage cancer diagnosis. I hope you will be encouraged to believe God's word and have faith that "with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) Be blessed.

Wrap me in your arms
Oh my goodness. Today during Praise and Worship the Praise Team sang a song by William McDowell called "Wrap me in your arms". While singing, I started remembering how God protected me in his arms through sickness. I remember specifically being in the ICU after my back surgery. I had just finished eating breakfast and suddenly became very cold. I could not stop shivering. The nurse brought me a fresh, warmed blanket and put it on top of the one I already had. But, I continued to shiver. I was shivering all the way down to my toes. It was like I was almost convulsing with cold. I remember distinctly feeling the presence of my grandmother, one of God's angels. I felt her holding me in her arms and rocking me. The cold slowly began to subside and I began to fall asleep. I woke up a few hours later feeling so safe and secure and warm. I thanked God for sending my grandmother to keep me warm and for letting me know that He will take care of all of my needs. He will always be there and will always protect me. I especially love the part of the song where it says "Take me to that place Lord. To that secret place where I can be with you. You can make me like you." Psalm 91 is my favorite scripture with its promises of protection, security, deliverance, and salvation. So, going to that secret place, being under His shadow is such a great feeling. Knowing that God will protect you, as long as you stay under His shadow is very comforting to know. There is nobody like God!
