I've been praying for you daily since I read about your waiting period for the biopsy results. Writing your name down in my prayer journal next to my prayers for my husband, my grandkids, my kids--the closest people in my life. I was absolutely taken by surprise at my reaction to your good news. Tears began to fall for a woman I've never met, but when you pray for someone, you have a connection that is on a spiritual realm. God is so good to us. He has taught you so much and you have been so generous to share it with all of us. Thank you for shining your light, especially in the hard times so the rest of us don't feel so alone in the struggle. Praising God with you!!!!

Praise God! So happy to hear of your good results and more importantly, the lessons learned. I’m clinging to your story as inspiration during my own season of waiting. If I were closer, I’d bring coffee and cookies and sing a few hymns with you. 💜

Thank you for sharing this. Poignant yet encouraging. Psalm 149:4 says, “He takes delight in his people, especially those who are afflicted… he will beautify the afflicted with salvation.” What an amazing thought, that my Father delights in me even when I feel lost in my trials & suffering! In fact, he takes pleasure in me especially when I face the unpleasantness of affliction. Through it all Meredith, your Father is preparing you to be a veteran of spiritual warfare, an example of faith and trust to this generation.

What a beautiful testimony, Meredith! Thank you for your humble courage to share it with us! Great photo, too, by the way.

You've been showered with God's Grace throughout a very difficult process. What a blessing!

You are so correct about the importance of experiencing life as "moments strung" together. Life is experienced in the present, each one a gift from God. Each breath. Each heartbeat. Each smile and hug. Each Snickers bar 🤣.

So, rather than having the perspective of surrendering each moment to God, I've learned to embrace each one in the joy of living each moment in His Grace, standing fully in trust that each moment of our lives is a testimony to God's Greatness, His Mercy, and testament to His Glory.

Yours is a truly one such marvelous testament!

Peace & Blessings to you and yours!

✨️🕊🙏🎊✨️

On the other side of trials, there is wisdom, for those who look for it. I believe that gathering wisdom is one of the reasons God put us here.
