"Deliverance"

Monday, June 3rd // 10:00 am Well today is finally here--I'll be so glad when my surgery is over! I pray that everything will be alright and that the cancer isn't worse than expected. God will be there with me holding me and hiding me from fear. All of my family will be at the hospital along with other friends. I praise God for my family. This experience has taught me to count each and every blessing and to look at people with a loving heart instead of judgmental. I am a simple person. As I take stock of myself, I see all the things that I have left undone. I have been truly blessed though. I have never been without. I take pride in that I am not pampered. But when I look at my feet, dirty shoes, dirty bathroom, I wonder if I should or could have been a better groomer and housekeeper! I pray that God will spare me from the breast cancer so that I can live the rest of my life serving Him and others. I want to make changes, not only in the way I eat, but the way I serve. O God, hear my prayer. Be my portion today. Deliver me from harm. Be with Dr. Williams and the anesthesiologist, nurses, and my family. Keep us in your grace.
