Living a life purpose

The present moment is not perfect, it is painful but I know God is present and this brings me comfort and encouragement. It Strengthens me to do what needs to be done and go through the day with courage “We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him. These are the people God chose, because that was his plan.” Romans 8:28 This I am confident God works - even though I cannot see it, He is busy behind the scenes working everything out God works for the good - Not for my pleasure or comfort but for my ultimate good God works for the good of those who love Him God works in all things - the good, the bad, the easy things or difficult things. He doesn’t make the plan as He goes along because nothing comes as a surprise to him and he is never out of control. “In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,” Ephesians 1:11 ESV He works out everything in conformity...

Psalm 28:7 - The Lord is my strength and my impenetrable shield , my heart trust in, relies on and confidently leans on him, and I am helped therefore my heart greatly rejoices and with my song I will praise him. Thank you Lord for you are my strength and my shield that keeps me safe I will confidently rely on you so regardless of what is going on. I will rejoice and I will sing your praises because you deserve it. I thank you for keeping me safe, I thank you for being my strength, I thank you for all your promises and I will confidently lean on and trust in them because you are a God who never lies. I will rise above anxiety by giving you praise by saying positive things and confessing you word.

“No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you.” Joshua 1:5 NLT  All your life, no one will be able to hold out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I’ll be with you, Temi.

I know that as long as I live and have your breath in me, no one or nothing can stand against me. Regardless of what is going on in my life or the journey I am currently on, no one and nothing can stand against me because your word says it and I believe it. You are always with me. You will not fail me You will not give up on me You will not abandon me You will not leave me. I will be strong and courageous My daughter all you have to do is trust me. All you have to do is to stay in the chariot with me (the journey). I will not quit on you ...

My second surgery was on Thursday, 21st March 2019. I thank God and I am so grateful that everything went well. I am so grateful that I am here today.  Ambreen came down from Stockport on Wednesday. She is such a dear. Surgery morning, Ambreen and I were out of the house by 6:50pm and we got to the treatment center on time. I was an expert at this since I have been through this before. Ambreen stayed with me until I was checked in at 7:20am. Once in the treatment center the surgeon and anaesthetist came round. Today I was the first person in theatre. Putting me to sleep this time was painful because the anaesthetist couldn’t find my vein but finally he did. I came into the recovery room around 11:00am and I was back home by 2:00pm. I want to thank you for your word to me, which was that before this day came you knew about it, you knew what was going to happen, and that you are in control. This gave me the assurance I needed so I was not afraid. Father your daughter was brave and co...

“GOD ’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with GOD (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 MSG  This powerful promise in His word offers peace to my heart in my current journey in life. He gives me great hope in the battles I face today. It is like a ray of light through the darkest night. For just as I am sure the sun comes up every morning, I can be confident that His mercies never end. His mercies are never based on how good I am, but only on his steadfast character. His compassion towards me is fresh every morning, and each day is a gift straight from his hands. I can trust his heart is for me. It will be easy to complain about everything than to offer God praise. But I choose to set my heart on the steadfast love of God, offering him praise for who He is and how He is at work in my life. I will remember God’s promise and choose ...

Everything that has been going on in my life as made me question how I react to circumstances.  I have a choice to make - fear or my trust and faith in God. I choose my trust and faith in God because that is the only thing that will give me peace.  So Temi, when you face the unknown  You must never allow my circumstances to get bigger than my God.  You must trust God, the God that is always on time.  You must not panic but instead you will buckle down and trust what you know to be true of God

 Wednesday, 6 March 2019 is the D-Day. Today is the day to get the pathology report following my surgery on 15 February 2019. I was not worried about it because I believe God has everything in control and everything will go well and will be fine. I was told I will need another surgery. Apparently, the border or margin of the normal breast tissue removed around the cancer cells during the first surgery came back positive with pre-invasive cancer cells so that meant I would need to have another surgery to remove these. There are two areas where there were cancer cells one is 29 mm and the other was 19mm from the point where the cancer was removed. This blew me away, I was shocked because this wasn’t what I was expecting and my thoughts were all over the place. Another surgery was a setback - to my recovery and plans.  I was also told that 15 Lymph nodes were removed during the first surgery and six came back positive with cancer so as a result I would need to undergo chemotherap...
