Hello, Friends. Anyone who knows me knows that I am an open book and that I share what's on my heart and going on in my life. I especially feel led to do so when I am testifying to the greatness of God and my faith in Him.
Thursday, May 21st, I will undergo a surgery on my lung to deal with probable lung cancer. The assumption among the several doctors who have been consulted about my case is that I do have lung cancer, but it was caught very early through the grace of God. Trust me when I say that this being discovered was nothing short of a miracle.
I feel very strongly that it is my duty and privilege to praise God through good and bad times. God is good -- all the time! I would be lying if I said I had no worry or fear or sadness about all of this. I am human. But what I do know is that, no matter what happens to me on this earth, I claim the victory won by Jesus and I will spend eternity with Him in Glory. I will never stop singing His praises. I will never stop testifying of His greatness. In the silence between tears, God's peace and grace whispers, "I love you, I am here, you can trust Me, I will fight for you."
So I felt it was important to sit down at my piano and record this precious song just a few hours after finding out about my surgery. It is raw, and I am definitely fighting tears during it. But here’s what I know for sure: Jesus died and rose again so that all who believe in Him would never die. Through all the tumult and the strife...and though the tempest round me roars....how can I keep from singing? Friends? How can any of us?
