In the God Answers Prayers presentation, I invite you to return to God by sharing my miracle that showed me the path to a better fellowship with our Lord and the lessons I practice in my continued earthly pilgrimage.

Drawing f rom my cancer bat t le and subsequent destruction of my lungs, I discuss subjects such as the need for suffering. “The greater sufferings that fall within us from time to time become easy to bear if we accept them with calm and patience. God will give us abundant strength to bear our sufferings if only we ask Him. Through faith, prayer, and determination, the impossible is possible.”

Every struggle in your life has shaped you into the person you are today. Be thankful for the hard times. They can only make you stronger!

Father, my heart is heavy. I feel like I have to carry the burden alone. My thoughts are occupied with an impending sense of doom. Words like “exhausted,” “distraught,” and “overwhelmed” seem to describe where I am. I am not sure how to let you carry my heavy load, so please show me how. Take it from me. Let me rest

and be refreshed so my heart won’t be so heavy in the morning.

LIVING FORWARD 25 MINUTES

THE BRIDGE (VIDEO) 20 MINUTES

Every Easter we relive The Passion to remind us Jesus conquered death for each one of us so we have eternal life.

But, here’s my question for you. Do you see the tears of our Heavenly Father?

Trials are exercises to develop your faith!

Happiness is in our breath, touch, and words!

God sacrificed His only Son for us, but not without

agony.

We all have the opportunity for eternal life if we simply

believe in our Savior!

THE MIRACLE 15 MINUTES

The treatment of my cancer turned out to be the greatest enemy to my health. My sickness was not a punishment from God, but a means for Him to use me as an instrument to reveal a miracle. My faith is wrapped around my heart for comfort, around my head and body for protection, and around my life for purpose. Is it not possible we each have encounters such as the one I will describe and yet fail to have the faith to believe?
