In 2007, fate was about to deal us a card that would watch my angel walk with God on one side and death on the other. Ida was up to the task. She was ready to fight the good fight, as she would endure more than three hundred chemotherapy treatments in a five-year period. During the interim, my son-in-law's father, and then my son-in-law, would deal with terminal cancer.

There are times when worship overflows easily and effortlessly from a heart full of gratitude and praise. Yet, there are other times when God seems far and we feel we have nothing left to offer. We are tired, or thirsty, or imprisoned in our own chains through our own devices, or caught in the waves of a tumultuous sea. This is when God shows us His steadfast love. He wraps His eternally powerful, ultimately creative, nail-scarred hands around our hearts and squeezes with appropriate might—yielding an honest plea for Him to save us and deliver us from our circumstances, fears, and self control. And He does. He initiates with His steadfast love, and responds with the same. Walk with Lauren as she shares what she has learned of the steadfast love of the Lord.

Book excerpt: What would you do if you were forced to face your own mortality by means of your Doctor's diagnosis of a mortal disease? A disease of which you have only a few months to a few years to live according to medical prognosis? A mortal disease that have claimed the lives of many individuals unexpectedly and one of which your doctor expects will bring about your demise? What would you do? I do not know what your reaction to such uninvited horrific news might be: but I do know of my mother's! Diagnosed in 2015 to be suffering from Stage IV Lung Cancer was the beginning of a fight until its ending! A fight which is this very second being fought not only physically within and without her flesh but spiritually within the spirit of her mind. A fight of which according to her doctor would ultimately claim her life except God intervene miraculously as Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments can only delay death even if the treatments are successful. After serving God for many years even to the present hour of the writing of this book! Naturally the news of the diagnosis immediately opened a doorway for the spirit of fear which has torment to attempt to enter into the spirit of her mind! My mother shut that doorway by standing and facing the issue at hand in faith that God is able to sustain her life even with the diagnosis if it be God's will and if God in the process of this fight does not continue to sustain her life it is not because God was not able to do so it would be God's will not to do so! My mother knows that we as Christians are instructed of God to walk by faith and not by sight as those things which are seen are temporal while those things which are unseen are eternal. How is it possible for one to walk by faith while simultaneously face the reality of medical diagnosis of Stage IV Lung Cancer? My mother knows that she can do all things through Christ which strengthens her. My mother in a sense have entered into a "strange land" on her journey in life, a land wherein most who enters do not exit alive! Nevertheless, my mother stands as bold as a lion in the face of this deadly disease and boldly confesses that whether she lives or whether she dies she belongs to the Lord! If in the process of this fight God's will is to remove her from this life I sincerely believe that my mother is "ready to be offered!" I believe her faith is steadfast trusting in the will of God for her life. I believe that she has been sealed by the Spirit of Almighty God and that the hope she possesses transcends this life and will be manifest in the next at the sounding of the seventh trump of God whether dead or alive. I believe our faith will prove to be more real than our realities in the process of time. This book is inspired by Almighty God in honor of my mother while she is yet alive and will serve as a memorial after her demise. It is to encourage those who are fighting cancer in any of its forms to not lose faith in the midst of the fight but to be strong in faith giving glory to God.

Download or read book Embraced by God written by Steve Givens and published by Twenty-Third Publications. This book was released on 2010 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who hears the dreaded word "chemotherapy" naturally experiences feelings of fear and apprehension. For Steve Givens that one word was the beginning of a new chapter in his life, one that would change him in profound ways. He believes that a brotherhood and sisterhood exists between those who have battled a chronic disease or undergone chemotherapy. They know one another's pain, numbness, and exhaustion. They smile at one another when they meet in the ahllways or while blood is drawn because they can relate and because they know. And here he shares his story with "kin," those who, like him, have no choice but acceptance. He still experiences times of pain, sickness, confusion, and sadness on his journey to wellness, but he also feels renewed and reborn spiritually. Here he reveals that he has chosen the way of faith and God because he knows of no other way that brings peace and gives him a reason to go on. He has opted to embrace his disease and its treatment--but not by himself alone. As he says, "My arms are not big enough or strong enough for the battle." He believes, however, that they arms of God are big enough to encircle him and his disease. This is a beautifully told story of struggle and pain, but ultimately of peace and acceptance, a wonderful resource for all who are facing chronic illness and its treatment.
