I went to the doctor recently and he said to me  “the good news is, we got all the cancer and it was in the early stages.” But then he says, I have grade 3, Serous Carcinoma Cancer.  Ugh! Serous Carcinoma is a very aggressive cancer. I tell you…  I sat in my daughter’s car and cried all the way home. Usually I’m  a warrior, a strong woman of God, but for some reason I felt soooo sorry for me. I told my daughter that I just needed to cry it out for the day, and  promised, I would be better the next day. I felt like such a cry baby and like I had let God down. But I remembered that even Jesus wept. The thing is, we don’t have to have it all together all of the time.

As Christians we need to understand that even though we are Christians we are allowed to feel things and that it’s alright to cry.  Crying should not be looked upon as if we are inadequate and have no faith in God. On the contrary, crying demonstrates we have strength like Jesus. In the Bible, in  2 Corinthians 12:9, it says, “and He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Saints, Charles Stanley breaks it down even more, he writes that “brokenness is God’s requirement for maximum usefulness. This is because it is when you are truly helpless and without resources that you must count on God’s provision.  His power enables you to triumph, and all the glory belongs to Him.”

My brothers and sisters do you hear me? You don’t have to be tough in sad times, because in your weakness you are strong. I love you!
