I have had the diagnosis of Cancer. I was 35 years old and cancer did not run in my family. I was scared. I had two young daughters and a young son at the time. It was probably harder on my husband because he had lost family members to cancer. I was diagnosis with Non-Hopkins Lymphoma. It was in my arm bone. I really leaned on God to help me through, and He did. I have now been in remission for 22 years, Praise God!!! He is a good God and nothing is wasted with Him. He will see you though. I am praying for you.
Hi Meredith. Thank you for sharing and being so raw and honest about your physical and spiritual experience. I'm praying with you for full and complete healing in any area that you might need. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Your words were meant for more than just one. God bless you. Keep writing.
Thank you for being here and saying so. Publishing something like this is a little scary. I don't want to seem like I'm attention grabbing, but I do want to bring attention to trusting God in all the things we face and I just know there are others out there facing similar situations. I appreciate your words of encouragement!
Hi Meredith! I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes, I struggle to open up about what I’m going through because I worry it’ll seem like I just want attention and I tell myself I should just deal with it on my own. But lately, I’ve been learning that reaching out for help and being open about my experiences isn’t a bad thing—it actually gives others the chance to truly know me.
I’ve also been realizing that getting attention and seeking attention aren’t the same. When our hearts are set on making God’s name known and loving Him and others, the Holy Spirit takes care of how our words and actions impact people. If you hadn’t shared this, I wouldn’t have had that little nudge from the Holy Spirit reminding me that God sees me. You followed His lead, and it led me to see Him move.
Thank you for sharing this and for letting us see your heart. I’m really proud of you.
Praying for you Meredith. I am in a waiting period for the last 17 months. I have long Covid and don’t know how/when I will get back to full functionality. I have reconnected with God and am finding more peace as I do what I can each day. Thanks for your writing.
Hi Kathryn, I'm sorry you're going thru it - I too was knocked down from long covid (post viral syndrome, Dysautonomia with POTS). It's been the hardest 3 years of my life, but it has brought me so much closer to God that now I can honestly say "it is well with my soul". The last year I've gone from bed bound to functional again (not 100% YET, but I will get there if it's God's will). I pray for your healing, complete and total healing in the name of Jesus! Hugs to you sister. If you need someone to talk to (write to) you can email me at ec20059@gmail.com
As Ruth was blessed to glean even among the sheaves and found handfuls of purpose; may you also find yourself abiding in the Lord’s love, your strength restored and that your joy would be full. May God’s healing hand touch your body; bring peace to your soul and always abide in his love. Praying for you and your family. May his mercy and grace always be plentiful so that we might taste and see that the Lord he is good.
Meredith, I have been following you on YouTube since the beginning. I have watched your faith in God increase and the same with your family. My prayer for you is to have peace in the waiting. Comfort in knowing whatever the outcome, God has a plan. Thank you for using your platform for hope and goodness. I have laughed and cried with you through the years. And now I will continue to pray right beside you. Much love, Jen Mock
Thank you, Jennifer. 🥹 It means so much to know you've seen the journey thus far and that you see God moving. I know He is! Thank you for praying me through this. Please let me know how I can pray for you.
You are too kind to ask for my prayer request in the midst of all you are dealing with. I have an extremely stressful job. I know God provided the job for me, I just have to learn to do my best and walk away. 😊 It will all be there tomorrow. I remind myself often, Matthew 6:34 and Joshua 1:3-9. Much love my sister.
I’ve been watching your videos since day one, and I still make your biscuits. My journey with God has been an on going trip, my 26 year old son had us in church yesterday he’s just starting his journey. God does see us and hear us. Keep your faith strong for whatever comes. We out here are praying for you and your family. God be with you. Joanne
Bless your heart, you make my biscuits?! I need a refresher haha. So thankful God never leaves us and always welcomes us back. I pray your son keeps growing closer to Him. Thank you for your prayers!
GOD WILL MAKE A WAY! When there seems to be no way… he will make a way for me. As I was reading your post, this music is playing softly in the background. My heart is heavy for you my friend, knowing your faith is strong and The One who makes all things good in His perfect time. Praying for complete healing and peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus Name. Amen
Thank you so much, Natalie. Your words bring peace and I know God will continue to no matter way. I'm in Exodus in my daily reading and seeing yesterday again how he provided a way for the Israelites was so encouraging. He is a mighty God! Thank you, thank you.
I am praying for you and your family. "Footprints in the sand" is one of my go to readings during hard times. I believe our Father will carry you through this.
Thank you for sharing your heart and life with us, Meredith! I will be praying for you as you walk this road and while you wait. I am not in the same type of waiting room but waiting on the Waymaker to work his way in some family/relationship matters. Thank you for the reminders that He is God, He is Peace, He is Love - so all is well.
All waiting rooms are similar, though, aren't they? Praying our Waymaker parts the sea for your relationships. That is so very hard to walk through. Yes, in Him all is truly well. Hugs. xx
Thank you for your beautiful words....I can relate. Just last month I had to have a endometrial biopsy. After all the many swirling thoughts ..... all I could do was lay at His feet because the weight was too heavy. I pray you get the news I got....benign. I will be praying for you sweet sister. You are a light in this broken world, which I am thankful for. God bless you and heal you completely, in Jesus's name, Amen!

I can't imagine facing that so young and with young children. Praise God for your remission! Thank you for holding my hand in prayer. xx

Yes, that's a beautiful poem. We had that on the wall in our home growing up. Thank you for the encouragement.
I am praying Meredith!
Thanks sweet lady. Also praying for you as you head to surgery tomorrow. 🙏🤍
God puts people in our paths at the right time! 🙏🏻
Agree!
