‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — “your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

J. Brent Bill, the author of Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker, has said that our testimony is belief translated into action, not so much our personal stories rather a statement of how we should live our faith. While I believe this is true, I also believe in sharing your personal testimony. Mark Batterson, in the book IF, writes “Our testimony is our secret weapon. Of course, you can’t keep it a secret. It’s the way we share the win with others and overcome the enemy.” 

When my Dad was in the middle of his cancer journey, I really thought I was going to wake up one morning from a bad dream but reality was still there. My morning routine of prayer and devotion turned into seeking my Heavenly Father for a miracle if it was His will. Those are hard words to speak. Although it has been more than five years since he passed, I’m choosing to find Joy one day at a time. His mercies are new every morning.

Today’s photo was taken with my sister, Leaha just five days after our dad, Tom was diagnosed with cancer.

Let’s pray. Dear God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen
