    I am also a stage 4 cancer patient. Still looking to be a cancer survivor. Even if, God takes me home before then I hope that all who know me, know of my love and trust in Christ as my Lord and Savior. I am not currently as strong as Colleen is in this video, but He is stronger and He gives me the strength that I need day by day. I have seen God's handiwork many times during this journey. God is good, all the time.

    You voiced my every thought as I, too, am on a terminal cancer journey. My husband and I also started our family later in life and have children aged 19, 17, 11, and 10. No matter how God takes me home, my hope is that my husband and children will remember my faith and love for the Lord and will run to Him and cling to Him with all their might. God is good! Prayers for you and your precious family, Colleen.

    Colleen is such a beautiful soul. I met her when I read her blog that discussed her getting married later in life. I was struggling with singleness, so I reached out and she invited me to hang out with her! It was life-giving. I met up with her again and she invited a few friends that were married later in life and they encouraged me as well. What sweet fellowship.
    God has shined His light through her and I've been able to experience that personally. Currently, she encourages me to cling to Christ and trust Him with my deficiencies.
    Such a powerful story.

      Thank you so much for your prayers Deborah. They are greatly appreciated. Yes God knows how many days each of us has left on earth. Imagining being there back when His glory shone in the Temple and lead His people through the wilderness, can you imagine always being in His glory in Heaven. God is good. His love endures forever.

      God says, "My grace is sufficient" And it is. BUT he asks us to ask for more. To move mountains in Jesus name. We must take hold of those promises and use them to show others GOD IS ALIVE.

Your love for Jesus has affected me and many others. These words of faith will strengthen and encourage many! Who knows…will we meet in the air soon?

    16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
    17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

    I didn't just happen on your story tonight, God sent me. Isaiah 61:3 “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.” By Jesus' stripes we are healed. Amen! Exodus 15:26 "For I am the Lord that heals you" Amen amen! Jeremiah 17:14O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed; if you save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for you alone! Amen! God is the healer. ALL for his glory. Colleen, it is so nice to see your peace, his peace over you. It is your weakness HE took and gave you HIS strength. Matthew 11:28-29 O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed; if you save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for you alone! Hallelujah! God of ALL creation hears our prayers and cries, HE tells us to give it to HIM, to ask and we SHALL receive. Amen?!?! When we ask in truth and in spirit because God is truth and spirit. Amen. I will pray for you now that Father God heals you of this DISease, that HE heals your body, blood, organs and mind, that HE takes away all that as no place in your body, be removed now in Jesus name. Do you believe this? Faith is by works not word. Your faith is to fight daily what you already have VICTORY over in Jesus name. Amen!! Do you believe this? God is so awesome. HE is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hallelujah! Proverbs 3:5-8 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones." We turn away from the world and the things of this world. We have become NEW creatures, the OLD self is gone.... The NEW has just begun. I thank God for brining me here. ALL glory to HIM. There is a message here for you, TRUST in what you have already not what you hope for. SEE it, TOUCH it, FEEL it... It is yours if you want it. God Bless you and your family. Thank you Holy Spirit.
