Just when you are skating through life with a healthy and safe numbness to the tragedies of the world, the floor drops out from under you - what do we do now... It happens to all of us at different times in our lives... It is God and His divine interruptions that change us the most.
Lisa Carter shared her story yesterday at EPL about her journey as she watched her 15 year old son go from a cancer diagnosis, palliative care, hospice, and miraculously a full recovery. The two year journey was intense, tragedy beyond understanding, truly changed their family forever and by the grace of God, her son was called to stay on this earth a little longer.
In the deepest darkest moments of fear, when all they could do was plead with God for another day... Lisa had an epiphany. She felt God's presence and she felt Him say to her...this is not about life and death this is about life and life! Life here on earth and life with me in the Heavenly realm. Lisa found comfort and peace in a new way... she was relieved by God's grace. She surrendered her will to God's will and from that moment forward she stopped begging for him to live, rather began to give thanks for God's healing power. When she walked into the ICU that day she felt God direct her to her bible 2 Chronicles 20... IT IS A ROAD MAP for all of us... read it! Lisa shared it verse by verse and truly it is a tool for all of us. Clearly outlining how to get through a tragedy, win the battle and glorify God.
May we all turn to His word and find peace in our hearts... and when it is too difficult to find the peace, may it fall upon us by the grace of God.
Be Loved Today and Always!
My Saint My Hero
