Growing through grief

wasn't anything that they could do about the cancer now that it is in places non-treatable.

During this time, I was going through a rough divorce and just lost my uncle,(my mothers, brother). I wasn't trying to be Christian at all, even though my mom had brought me up in the church. I wasn't trying to hear from God and he made me hear from him. Through all of this my mother still worried about me and she still gave me advice about God and the bible. I still took it in but didn't live it. It took me to lose almost everything including my kids for me to really grasp and take heed to what God was and still is trying to do in my life and my mothers life.

Sometimes we take for granted people and what they say. We take for granted that we have our good health, place to stay, a mother and father that love us , but more than anything we take for granted GOD!

My purpose of writing about this is not because of cancer, but God and what he is doing in each individual persons life so the heading is called "Watching Cancer or Watching God" means much. It means stop and Watch God sometimes, put your focus in God, acknowledge God not things like sickness, health, money, cars, clothes, being happy. If we allow ourselves to let God control our life just by giving him all glory, then all of those things I said above and more is PROMISED, and no matter what the situation is now you can and will be Healed!

My mother is a living example of a faithful servant. Even though she has always been a good woman and lived right her sickness still hasn't made her stray from God. She could have easily got discouraged simply because she had been faithful to God and she ended up with Cancer.

My mother Elizabeth M H. Is still alive and breathing today, that is a blessing, bald head and swollen arms and legs and all. She still worships God and she's pressing through. As long as God has you here you have a purpose and possibly an miracle. She maybe a living Miracle. So no matter what from this point on I won't "Watch Cancer but Watch God"!
