3:15 which says to always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you. When I went back for my procedure, I was hoping that my husband would be able to go back with me. Unfortunately, he wasn’t allowed to go, and I can remember hearing these words and the feeling that accompanied it. You are ALL ALONE! It shook me for a minute because my plan was to pray together before the procedure because I know the scripture says that where two or three are gathered touching and agreeing God is in the midst. In order for me to shake the feeling of fear and remain in faith, I had to remember that even if Vince wasn’t there with me, GOD said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, NOR FORSAKE YOU. I had to remember that Jesus is seated on the throne praying for me. I found comfort in the Word again and got back in the position of faith while walking through this fire. I followed the nurse back to the room for the biopsy in faith again and they prepped me to complete the biopsy. During the procedure, I kept my earbuds in and listened to praise and worship.

On Friday morning during my prayer time, I shared with the Lord that regardless of the results, I KNOW I AM GOOD! I KNOW THAT HE IS WITH ME! I planned lunch with my sister for that afternoon and reassured them that I was ok because I knew that the Lord would see me through this trial. My friend called to check on me and I told her the same thing, I AM GOOD because the Lord will see me through this! Next my Aunt called to tell me that my Uncle was being moved to hospice because there is nothing else the Dr’s can do regarding the cancer he is battling. In my spirit I said, “Get behind me Satan! I will not change my confession!” But out of my mouth flowed these words. Auntie, I am GOOD because God is with me.
