Someone told me that, Tomorrow isn't promised to us and I simply responded, " I know that when Tomorrow comes it will be more Blessed than Today. I know that with Tomorrow HOPE is coming my way. I know that Tomorrow is promised to me, because Tomorrow was Today, and Today will be Yesterday, TOMORROW!" I live by FAITH not by sight. AGAPE
I found out 2 days ago that my brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, although it's upsetting, I'm okay. My sisters are a mess, they can't stop crying. I'm okay with that too, crying releases pressure. It's good to cry every now and then. But, I told my sisters to break from crying and to pray. Prayer is a powerful healer and outlet. I talked to my brother and advised him not to be down. That he has CANCER, but cancer doesn't have him, and as long as he is alive there is always Hope. Just stay in Faith. I also made sure he was right with God. I advised him not to become mentally sick because depression and stress will kill you way faster then cancer. I told him to stay positive, because the body is designed to heal itself, and if we are positive and don't get stressed or depressed over the disease or our circumstances we free the body to do the work it was designed to do, and we aid in our healing. There are so many disease out there today that are terminal, incurable, threatening, and crippling, but when one hardship happens, something greater and even better usually follows, but the grief, sorrow, and depression of one loss sometimes consume our recieving the greatness to come, and we miss it. Whether my brother makes it through this or not. I believe he is healed because sometimes healing comes even in death and I was blessed to be his sister and even more blessed to know he is at peace. I'm not giving up, just looking up. Whatever happens, I know that it was God's plan. And, either is a MIRICLE, because he will be totally Healed or he will be totally Healed. I'm hoping that anyone dealing with any of these diseases understand what I am saying and that it will help you or a loved one, because it is not Cancer that is the enemy, it is how we deal with it, that is the enemy. The" FEAR FACTOR, is beatable. " Our brain ,the mind and central transmitter can protect, defeat, assist,and with-stand anything. We have the POWER! AG
For with GOD, nothing shall be IMPOSSIBLE! Luke 1:37 This is beyond Amazing...JESUS the CHRIST died for US...May WE live for HIM....??? I LOVE YOU 'cause HE first loved US!!!!!
Economic wars leave humanity further enslaved, Better ways are engraved on the murals, In the tombs of ancestor angels, In the wombs of our daughters and mothers,
Destroying or hording natural resources leaves humanity starved, Masses of lives carved out of leftovers, Bodies too hungry to feed our minds, So we feed on violence, Our hunger overtaking our willingness to coexist, If my life is lost then yours is meaningless, So underground economies give us meaning, Fuel us with the energies to survive, To temporarily thrive,
These gatekeepers of historical information, The freedom of information cannot be an act, is greater than a play, It is the foundation of human freedom, Truth in abundance, False transparency hides a genuine intent, Ulterior motives are the death of consent, To these things I respectfully dissent.
