. . . AND THE MOUNTAINS FELL

I wish I could share every miracle we’ve felt and witnessed with all of you who have been praying as we awaited my test results. The spiritual healing and blessings so many have shared with me have changed their lives, and mine, forever!
In December Tom and I were told I was terminal with a 9-12 month prognosis. Then we received a second opinion that the results may have been inaccurate, and by waiting until the high doses of radiation left my body, we could get a more clear reading. The weeks of waiting have felt like I was holding my breath moving in slow motion, yet I am beyond grateful for the non-stop love and support we have received as a family.

I realize I have been very private about my cancer journey. My intention was not to push people away. Rather, I felt I was asked to follow God's lead. I shared when He told me to share, and I was silent when told to be silent. We spent a lot of time just listening to God. During that quiet time is when the creation of a video about His presence in this storm was presented to me. Trust me when I tell you I cried and begged God to stop placing the creation of this very personal video on my heart. I tried to dismiss the thought, but there was no denying He commanded my obedience. 
The video, as God directed, includes 3 scenes. The first is a narrative journey of battling cancer 5 times in 7 years. Scene two is a synopsis of all the ways God has touched the lives of many people in my life during this journey. And the final scene is the LIVE RECORDING AS I RECEIVE MY RESULTS. 

Sharing this video was terrifying for me. It feels raw and vulnerable. I fumble speaking through much of it, my hand was shaking writing each card you'll read, and I don't think I was breathing when I answered the oncologists' call which came early, catching me off guard as I appeared to forget how to answer a phone. This video is all God, and all glory goes to Him. Even after the recording was complete, I still hesitated sharing it. I reached out to Luciano and Julia for reassurance. In the very impassioned words of Luciano and Julia, “MOM, LETTING FEAR STOP YOU FROM SHARING THIS VIDEO WOULD BE BAD." Thank you God for brave kids.
