God Is Still Doing Miracles

I know at times it is difficult to trust God is working when you cannot see tangible evidence right before your eyes or right when you want it.  It was that way with my cancer treatments until last week.
On Thursday I had a CT scan to see how the latest treatment Sutent was working.  In the last CT scan 3 months ago (prior to Sutent) I had 1 new growth and very little if any change in the existing spots in my lungs and there had never been a change in my lymph nods.  The new report was very exciting at first, shrinking the lymph nods and no mention of any spots on my lungs at all.  However there was one place noted by the Doctor that read the scan on my T12 vertebra.  The oncologist & his assistant noted the area and explained that the only reason for this spot could be a tumor.  They scheduled a MRI for Monday.
Over the weekend I was a little more restless than normal, but I prayed night & day that God would take care of this new tumor and I praised Him for all the great news I had received , giving God all the glory for the work He was doing in my body and in my life.
Jeremiah 29:13, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (NIV)
On Monday I was getting my MRI, and in the tube I had a thought "It's gone, they will not find anything."  While I trust God with every fiber of my being; I do not trust my self.  So I  began questing the thought, was I hearing it because it was from God, or just something I wanted to hear?
It is not unusual to question at times like this, especially when it is something you want so desperately.  So I kept the information to my self and went to see my oncologist.  But the news I was given there confirmed what God had given me- there was no tumor!

God is still healing, God is still doing miracles.  Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him, you may not get the answer I did, but Jeremiah 29:11 tells us that God has plans for all of us.  Perhaps his plan is for you to wait or the answer may be no. But the answer could be yes, the time is now.  So never give up, keep running the race,
God has great plans for you too!
