Taking the Healing

....so, as we continue to deal with this prostate cancer, I know, without a doubt  that we are blessed. I know that God has a purpose here. I don't know what it is or where He will lead us. I really don't know alot, but I trust Him.  As I am learning to trust Him more and more, He is revealing some pretty interesting things to me.  First and foremost He is encouraging me to know that I am not in control of my husband's health, his life choices or even his cancer.  Then, I get to pray. I get to rest in His hands and I get to place my husband there, too---every day.  He is showing me how growing in Him is all about what we allow Him to do in us.  My God is awesome and wonderful.  
God is also speaking clearly to Dennis. Earlier this week, he came home, after an evening dinner and prayer meeting with his men's group, with a revelation.  He told me that when some of the men were praying, for health issues, healings, etc. he started to have a bit of a pity party.  He has been faithfully sharing with everyone that God is going to heal him, and he has spoken nothing but healing since his diagnosis.  But, he began to wonder "what if God doesn't heal me?"  He worried first for himself, but then, in deeper thinking, he really didn't want those non-believers in his life to think less of his God because he was not healed.  Then, the Lord moved and in his spirit he felt a peace that spoke.  It spoke that even if he was not healed in the natural, the confidence he has in his healing is leading him to heaven, where he will be whole and healthy.  So, either way, he wins! Wow. Now, that's a revelation.  So, Dennis is taking the healing walk.  That is living for God's purpose, no matter what.  What an honor. What a blessing to be part of the plan!
