Today’s post will be short and sweet.
A while ago I wrote about a sadness that folded around me like a blanket when I found out that a friend has cancer.
Today I am over-joyed! I just received the news that she is clean. No, not in remission, clean. The doctors can’t find a trace of the cancer in her. CLEAN!
They can’t explain it.
They only gave her 3 months.
The tests are clean this morning.
I can explain it!!!
Let me tell you about a woman who, when she found out that she had cancer did not think about herself for one second. All her concerns were for her husband and daughter.
All she cared about that was that they would be loved and supported. Her exact words were:
“I’m not worried about myself, God will provide for me.”
Not only did she put all of her trust and faith in God, she also refused to let the cancer take hold of her spirit.
I have never heard anyone so positive. Full of jokes and always comforting everyone else.
Today she received her miracle …
My cup is overflowing with joy …
An Afrikaans song comes to mind, by Jo Black. I’ll translate.
‘n Skip lyk in ‘n hawe baie mooi vir my en jou,
Maar dis nie waarvoor skepe gemaak word nie
Die storms en die winde sal waai
Hys jou seile hoog, want een of ander tyd moet die tyding draai.
Kry jou maste reg, haal die anker uit,
In die rigting van die suiderkruis.
Op die golwe van die diepste oseaan.
Ons vind ons rigting in die sterre en die helder maan.
Ons is gemaak in HOOP se naam.
Ons is gemaak om uit te gaan.
Soms voel dit of jy sink, maar jy moet net jou voete soos Petrus vind.
En dalk net weer glo soos ‘n kind.
Hou net koers, want soms kom die twyfel.
Dit gaan meer oor hoe jy opstaan en minder oor hoe jy struikel.
Moenie vrees as die waters rof raak nie.
Voel jou hart weer klop.
Op die golwe van die diepste oseaan.
Ons vind ons rigting in die sterre en die helder maan.
Ons is gemaak in HOOP se naam.
Ons is gemaak om uit te gaan.
Ons hoop is meer as net leë woorde.
Jy’s in beheer van jou bestemming.
Hoe jy daar uitkom is jou eie besluit.
Op die golwe van die diepste oseaan.
Ons vind ons rigting in die sterre en die helder maan.
Ons is gemaak in HOOP se naam.
Ons is gemaak om uit te gaan.
