"...THEN...I FOUND SOMETHING NEAR MY EYE! I WENT TO THE DOCTORS AND THEY SAID IT HAD TO COME OFF AND THERE WOULD BE A PRETTY BIG SCAR DOWN MY CHEEK. BEFORE SALVATION I WOULD HAVE BEEN A MESS WITH FEAR BUT THIS WAS DIFFERENT MY PRAYERS BEGAN TO MEAN SOMETHING AND THE ONLY PLACE I FELT COMPLETELY AT REST WAS WHEN I GAVE EVERYTHING OVER TO THE LORD. THE SURGERY WOULD HAVE BEEN PRETTY MINOR EXCEPT FOR THE LOCATION...IT WAS MILLIMETERS FROM MY EYE AND THEY KEPT SAYING THEY WERE PRETTY SURE IT WAS SKIN CANCER. GOD BROUGHT US THROUGH IT AND TEST RESULTS WERE JUST FINE. THE DOCTOR ACTUALLY LAUGHED HE WAS SO SURPRISED AND MY SCAR IS SO SMALL YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT. GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYER! THIS IS PRETTY EXCITING. I REALIZE THAT GOD IS FAITHFUL AND ANSWERS ALL MY PRAYERS EVEN THOUGH NOT ALWAYS THE WAY I WANT BUT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. SOME OF THE HARDEST TIMES WE WENT THROUGH WERE THE TIMES MY RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST GREW THE MOST. EVERY TIME I HAVE A NEW TRIAL I PRAY THAT IN THE END GOD WILL BE GLORIFIED THROUGH IT AND I TRUST HE WILL SEE ME THROUGH IT TOO. MY KIDS ARE ALL HOME SCHOOLED AND MY HUSBAND IS ON THE ROAD ALL WEEK. I AM NEVER ALONE.
I LOOK BACK ON THESE LAST 7 YEARS AS THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE THE HARDEST. MY KIDS ARE GROWING UP IN A FAMILY THAT LOVES EACH OTHER AND A CHURCH THAT IS GROUNDED IN THE WORD. EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY FOR US TO LEARN NEW THINGS AND KNOW THAT MY MISTAKES HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN....FORGIVEN!...THAT IS WHAT HELPED ME LOVE MY HUSBAND...WHO WAS I TO HOLD ANYTHING OVER HIM WHEN CHRIST FORGAVE ME AND HE WILL BE THE FINAL JUDGE I DON'T NEED TO BE. ALSO ANOTHER THING THAT HELPED WAS LETTING MY HUSBAND LEAD US EVEN WHEN I THOUGHT HE WAS MAKING A MISTAKE BECAUSE GOD WOULD TEACH HIM THROUGH THIS AS WELL. OUR MARRIAGE IS SOMETHING WE WORK ON ALL THE TIME AND OUR JOY IS COMPLETELY IN CHRIST NOT MATERIAL THINGS LIKE THEY USED TO BE. I'M EXCITED ABOUT WHERE GOD IS LEADING OUR FAMILY AND LEARNING MORE ABOUT HIM THIS YEAR. HE IS STILL WORKING ON ME AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR HIS LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE WHICH IS NEVER ENDING.".......MICHELLE.
