Do you trust ME?
Do you trust ME? Do you trust ME? Words that are very powerful
when someone asks you for confirmation
that you believe that they are looking out for your best interest. What do you
do though when the Lord asks you that question and he asks you twice?
Last September Terrance was asked this question by the Lord
twice and later that day I found out that my office was closing and we were in
the middle of building a house. I was
devastated, but it made sense to Terrance why the Lord asked him because at the
time the Lord asked it didn’t make sense.
Terrance was calm because he knew the Lord was going to see us thru. The
Lord did come thru but it took 3 months to happen and it happened right on time
for us to be able to close on our house.
Praise the Lord.
In the midst of this storm of no job for me, we were living
with my mom until the house was finished. We finally get a call about a baby
that we were selected for. To make a long story short the adoption didn’t end
up happening. We were heartbroken and confused but we are still trusting the
Lord’s plan even thru the hurt.
In January I started my new job and made a lot of special
friends but it just didn’t seem like “home” for me after being there for several
months and I started looking for a new job. The Lord opened the door and placed
me in a new position that is truly utilizing my skills and teaching me a lot
and I truly love my co-workers.
We thought that we have been in the valley long enough and
we were starting up the mountain finally after lots of disappointments this past
year. We were wrong.
In May on Terrance’s birthday to be exact he suffered from
severe back issues. After visiting the chiropractor many times which normally
would fix him the pain was not getting any better. He has suffered since May
and finally after prodding from his client to see her husband and get an MRI he
did. We were fully expecting to hear that he had a disc issue but this call was
much different than we had anticipated. The
doctor called and said in the corner of the MRI there is a mass. After weeks of
scans and a biopsy they have determined that he has cancer. Yes you heard me
right cancer.
We are looking to the words the Lord asked Terrance a year
ago “Do you trust ME?”
The oncologist appointment was yesterday and the doctor is
very positive about what type he has and that he will be successful thru his
chemotherapy. There is a long road ahead of us, but the Lord has been with us thru
the fire over the past year and we have nothing but to trust what lays before
us.
I just want to ask for prayers for us during this trial and especially
for Terrance that the Lord will help him with enduring the chemotherapy. The
Lord has already done amazing works on this journey so far and we are trusting
him to finish this path with joy.
God bless,
Stephanie
