The Right Volume

I love how you said when we do this the Holy Spirit makes it look easier than it should. But the amazing thing is that it really is easier to do it this way. Dealing with all this cancer stuff really isn’t that bad but I think it’s because I’m just resigned to the fact that I can’t change the situation. I really feel like right before my diagnosis I heard the Lord tell me that I would walk this path but it would bring healing in all areas of my life. Healing in ways I never would have imagined. When we are on the path the Lord intends for us it is way easier than charting our own course…even if it appears we ares swimming upstream to the world around us. Thanks for sharing Samantha!

I love how you said when we don’t do things by our own efforts but let the Holy Spirit work, it appears almost easy and effortless. I have recently been humbled and amazed at peoples’ reactions to how I’m dealing with breast cancer. I don’t feel like I’m trying to “act” a certain way…it’s just who I am and how I feel. No,w I know that my prognosis is very good and my side effects are not too bad so makes things easier. I certainly don’t want to downplay those cancer patients who have a much more difficult path to walk.
 
However, the about an hour before I received the call about my diagnosis, I felt like I heard the Lord tell me that I would walk this path but that it would bring healing in so many areas of my life. Isn’t it amazing how he uses something like cancer, a disease that destroys, but yet it is bringing restoration in my life. 
 
I’m learning first hand that when we walk His path…swimming upstream, living life differently, etc., it really is effortless. It takes experiences like this for me to see that His Word is true…His ways are higher than our ways.  Praise God!!
