Powerful Passage!

Eight years ago, when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, this passage from the Bible brought me great comfort and became one of my favorites. The same was true when my brother died of stomach cancer in 2002, and when my father passed away from a stroke in 2006. Now, with my brother's diagnosis of melanoma, it still rings as true as ever. It's from a tiny book in the Bible called Habakkuk and it expresses the prophet's amazing faith that absolutely nothing could change.

Just thought I would share it with you...

Though the fig tree should not blossom
And there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail
And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold
And there be no cattle in the stalls,
Yet I will exult in the Lord,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
The Lord is my strength,
And He has made my feet like hinds' feet,
And makes me walk in high places.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Powerful, isn't it? I want to thank all of you for the lovingkindness you've shown my family. I can't tell you how much that means to me. I spoke to my sister-in-law yesterday and we both agreed that we feel at peace about everything. I believe that it's the small voice of God letting us know that everything is going to be alright...and to TRUST HIM. Well, that's exactly what I'm doing...I'm giving it over to God. God has seen my family through so many trials and tribulations. I know He'll continue to be there for us each and every step of the way.

Thank you for caring and for letting me share what's on my heart. You're the best!
