It’s Fall Ya’ll and time to slow down. I love this season between summer and winter. In Florida it means we spend more time outside enjoying our patio and taking long walks. I’ve been busy visiting friends in Indy, Orlando, New Smyrna Beach, and planned a getaway to Clearwater Beach with Steve for a few days. In this episode I encourage you to pray the prayer of Jabez from 1 Chronicles 4:10, “Oh, that you would bless me and expand my territory! Please be with me in all that I do and keep me from all trouble and pain!”

My bloodwork and scans this summer show I’m still living without disease currently. I don’t need another scan until the end of October. When I have 30 episodes published, I’m going to take a break from this weekly podcast but will update when I have new news to share.

Today’s podcast was inspired by a message from Megan Marshman regarding James 1:2-4. Where do we find pure joy in the midst of battling cancer? What does it look like? How do we stop striving and just let God do what He’s going to do and be at peace with it? Are you ready to let go and let God?

After watching the 2024 Olympics, I found some interesting insight during the gymnastics competitions. The announcers pointed out that the girls’ eyes were supposed to be focused on the end of the balance beam but when they fell, their eyes were on the mat. Where their eyes went, so did their bodies.

This got me thinking about our situation in dealing with cancer and life.

How often do we find ourselves getting off balance when we lose focus on what’s important?

What kinds of obstacles are distracting you?

How can you refocus your eyes so that you seek first the Kingdom of God?

“Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. If you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. If you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.” If you have cheated death, what does the rest of your life mean to you? How has getting cancer impacted on your life? Will you be a different person on the other side of your cancer battle? How will you choose to celebrate life and continue living the lessons you’ve learned through this?

Acceptance may look different for each person. I believe there is a sense of peace and calmness around the person who has accepted God’s will for their life. “You can tell God about your big problems, or you can tell your problems you have a big God!”

Is your confidence in God or people? Are you grieving things or people you have lost? How do you replace grief with joy? People with faith put their trust in God gradually. It does not happen all at once; it grows over time. We go through trials to activate our faith in God. He is the source of our hope. He promises to fill us with joy and peace as we trust in Him. Our confidence comes from the hope we receive from God through the power of the Holy Spirit.
