God's Love Story - Even Though the Valley

 “Come to Me all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light”.  (Matt. 28:30)

 Hey Gang:  Many years ago, by human standards, God impressed on my heart that I should pass on things that God has taught me over the years.  My eldest grandson has gone through very deep waters in his fight with cancer, a wilderness walk that has matured him in his walk with the Lord. 

When he was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer ,he had to make a choice as to whether he would put his full trust in the Lord and walk a day at  a time in the Word or do as one doctor suggested, "get your house in order and die".  Devastated, yes, discouraged, a whole bucket full.  Ready to give up?  Not in your sweet bippy.

When they met for the first time with the medical team at the Cancer Center of America, in ZION, IL, the team there  said something that filled him and his bride with hope.  They said, “Yes , you have a very serious form of cancer BUT we are going to aggressively attack it!"  And the battle began.  And the war began.

Paul wrote in his letter to the Romans:  "And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind  of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the  will of God" (Romans 8:27).  But he did not stop there he went on to say, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." ( Rom. 8:27-28).

He and his bride committed the disease to the Lord and said, “Here are we, Lord, send us where ever you feel people need to know there is hope, even with stage- four cancer.”   And the Lord began to open doors - doors that ministered to multitudes who, perhaps, were not going through the cancer wars but dealing with other crisis in their lives.

They began a blog titled Living in High Definition that has ministered to multitudes of people around the world.  He has ministered to multitudes in churches, schools and other public forums sharing the wondrous news that Jesus is his Lord and his life is in His hands.  Are you going through a tough time in your life? Does it feel like the sky is falling? Then tune into  rkprudhomme.blogspot.com and read the message of hope and determination and victory.

   

Sooooo,  One thing we can count on as children of God – WE WILL go though the wilderness and experience times of pain and agony in our walk with the Lord.  James warned us there would be times like that, but he also said, "Consider it joy when you do for it builds scar tissue in your soul and prepares you for the next battle” (Gramps rendition)  I have grown stronger watching these two young warriors put their faith on the "Rock".

Blessings,       Gramps

PS These blogs are written often several weeks ahead, especially while we are at VOM.  Continue to pray with us for Healing – Divine or through wisdom He gives to Doctors.  At Ryan’s last visit to CTCA Doctors found a tumor wrapped around the colon.  They have been trying to determine the next step.  Our prayer is that it will be gone.  BUT God also works through thru Doctors.  His return visit is Feb 28.
