2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,<\/p>\n

Some weeks can really try to throw us for a loop; the week during which this was written was one of them.<\/p>\n

What made this week stand out?<\/p>\n

I received a report back from a pathology lab. My biopsy tested positive for malignant Melanoma.<\/p>\n

After getting this phone call, I took a deep breath.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a funny thing because I had been praying to be stronger and to not be so fearful. And here I am sitting, listening to a woman explaining over the phone my next step. Surgery!<\/p>\n

I had to face one of my biggest fears. I don\u2019t do well with wounds, blood and stitches.<\/p>\n

And guess what else. For this particular surgery, they only use local anesthesia; they kept me awake through the entire procedure.<\/p>\n

This caused my fear to be amplified!<\/p>\n

A couple of times during the surgery I felt like I was starting to panic, but would cry out immediately to God to calm me down.<\/p>\n

Fear is a funny thing. It comes unannounced. It comes and hits us right in that place that controls everything; our mind. It hits our thoughts immensely.<\/p>\n

But remember who should have dominion over our thoughts!<\/p>\n

We must surrender our thoughts to Him. This scripture commands it.<\/p>\n

We shouldn’t let those thoughts run us. We truly have the reins in our hands in this. Or we’d better!<\/p>\n

But when we are so overwhelmed and under attack with fear, it can be very hard.<\/p>\n

What I have learned is we can cry out to God. When we are so beside ourselves in fear and can\u2019t even pull our thoughts together, He will be there.<\/p>\n

He will calm us right down. His peace will come and help us pull it together and get past it without fainting.<\/p>\n

He gives us the strength not to faint or give up!<\/p>\n

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.<\/p>\n

We all face many tribulations. But God is there to help us be strong and keep our thoughts together if we surrender them to Him.<\/p>\n

Fear is real. But God is bigger than whatever we fear today!<\/p>\n

He\u2019s got us.<\/p>\n

Thank you all for your prayers. I appreciate you very much and I am doing great!<\/p>\n

God bless you for continued love and prayers!<\/p>\n
