Knowing You (All I Once Held Dear)
Started my day off with His words of Life reading over Psalm 23.
Today is Day #107 since I started this journey the LORD planned for my life by going into the hospital to have a brain tumor removed.
This day the LORD has made; I will be glad and rejoice in it! (Psalm 118:24)
It’s been a good day (01/13/2023) so far with a quick summary:
Did some of my laundry and put it away.
Got out with my Dad to Walmart and picked up a few groceries for the weekend.
Went walking at Parkway Place Mall for about 20 minutes getting in some exercise after spending 6 days in a Huntsville Hospital bed.
All of these things I consider big accomplishments as I will not give into the fear of having a seizure control my life - It is written in 2 Timothy 1:7 - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Reflection:
This afternoon, Knowing You (All I Once Held Dear) really spoke to me and so I wanted to post the lyrics as it’s right where I’m at in my journey and I hope it both challenges and blesses you to keep seeking Jesus!
All I once held dear built my life upon
All this world reveres, and wars to own
All I once thought gain I have counted loss
Spent and worthless now, compared to this
Knowing you, Jesus knowing you
There is no greater thing
You're my all you're the best
You're my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord
Now my heart's desire is to know you more
To be found in you, and known as yours
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All surpassing gift of righteousness
Oh to know the power of your risen life
And to know you in your suffering
To become like you in your death my Lord
So with You to live
And never die
At this point in my journey, it will be nothing less than a supernatural miracle for Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit to make good on His promise that he will completely heal me and restore me back to 100%. As of now, I still have the remnants of brain cancer and the 2 medicines I take to prevent seizures are almost impossible to come off of once started so I have once again resolved that I will look at this impossible situation from man’s perspective and declare by faith and by His stripes I am healed of the LORD. All honor, praise, and glory to the Lord! Is this really difficult for me? You better believe it! However, I choose to keep seeking His face and to keep believing for my healing that’s coming as I patiently wait on the Lord - He is worthy!
Thank you Andrew for sharing this post.i am grateful you got out and walked today!
