what love has to do with it!

anyone who knows me knows that in 2005 i was diagnosed with breast cancer. the above is a picture taken after my first chemo treatment of an amazing bunch of people. each one pictured volunteered to have their head shaved in honor of me, in loving me. that expression of love and support was truly a gift. i carry this picture with me always. as a reminder of that love, of god's healing power, and as a way to share my story. i had no idea that this would lead to another’s obedience to god. last year, i decided to loose the weight i needed to get a knee replacement. i had heard a radio personality rave about medifast. i emailed her and asked her if it really did work and was it difficult. she encouraged me to go and check it out. well 70 pounds and 72.5 inches later, a new knee that is amazing, god is still using this picture to speak. one of the counselors that i had never met before, saw me a few weeks ago. i had heard her name from the radio personality, but didn't know who she was. during our talk (everyone knows how i love to share my story) i pull out this picture. she gets teary eyed and said "there is a specific reason you are sitting in front of me right now". ok i said, and she continued to tell me about how her mother-in-law is dealing with cancer. about how she used her hair to hide behind. how it had become a pride issue with her, and how god had placed this on her heart: that she was to shave her head! the picture above was confirmation! wow, i heard a radio personality, i go to medifast to lose weight, this same woman has named a counselor there and god uses a picture in my purse to confirm her conviction. cancer, radio personality, medifast, radio personality's counselor, cancer pic. i am amazed at how he works, every time! if you have never heard me say it, cancer is the best thing that has ever happened to me. it has allowed me to share gods love, healing, grace and mercy with others and has humbled me to know how he continues to work with me, through me. love has everything to do with it, and although i have a hard time knowing when god is speaking and when it is just me talking, i know that when confirmation comes, his love overwhelms.
