"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaimed that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed." (Isaiah 61:1 - NLT)

Tonight I watched a movie called “A Greater Yes: Amy Newhouse story”, its about a high school sophomore who had a passion to reach the lost she wanted to me a missionary start a bible club in her high school. But when she suddenly got sick with cancer she didn’t want her passion to die. She went through intense chemo and she still impacted people all around her. People thought she wasn’t going to be healed but her faith in God was so active she knew in her heart she was going to be healed. So many people were praying for her. After doing months of chemo she got good news then a month later she was got sick again she needed to start chemo again. But then sadly the chemo wasn’t working there was no more “hope” for her. But in her last days she still kept her faith, prayed, read the bible still did what she could to tell people about Jesus.
Just by watching this movie got me thinking again. I know I need to go through chemo its horrible I don’t want it anymore and I have to get a shot once every three month for something personal and iron treatment once a week. I wonder sometimes why do I need to go through this? Why do I need to go through this I was a perfectly normal teenager when I was first diagnosed. But who knows why. Just by watching this movie its impacting to know that even in the tough times are we really going to keep our faith or just give up. What is faith? According to hebrews 11-faith is evidence we don’t see but we believe. Life is hard in general, everyone has a story. But why not use our story to impact the people around you? Our days on this is earth is limited so why use it to be the salt and light of the earth? This season is hard, I don’t like being half bald, but this is what is going to make me get better might as well just loose all of my hair. Life has hardships I am not saying its going to be just be sickness it can also be no job, no income for support of your family, whatever the situation God is still God, He has complete control. Who knows why Joshua can’t get a job? Who knows why we can’t figure out a wedding date? In all these “big” things, when God sees it its so little. God can change it.
God uses the people who thinks they can’t be used. I know I struggle with that, God how are you going to use me when I am sick? What is your will for me life? As of now I am not going to worry about the future but I know I have been plans for my life. One day I am getting back what the enemy stole from me. I know overall God is good. Whoever is feeling discouraged, don’t give up. There is hope.
