"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" Genesis 18:14a
Recently in one of our devotional times my grandchildren and I call "bible talk" we came to this scripture.
As we talked about Sarah and her situation we got on to the subject of my cancer. I told them that nothing was too hard for God. If He wanted to cure me of my cancer He could in a heartbeat. That the thing to remember is whether or not He wanted to cure me or not.
As hard as it is for a ten to fourteen year old to understand God allows things to happen for a reason it's true. Often the reason for these moments is to get our attention. Being the stubborn and stiff- necked people we are its not easy to get our attention unless we are going through hard times.
I must confess some of the greatest lessons I have learnt and maturity I have grown was during hard times. I trust God that this time of my cancer is no different. God has a purpose for allowing this to happen. He has plans for me in Heaven and plans for my family here on earth.
I am sure He wants all of us to learn to trust Him and believe in His will whether we understand it or not. As with my epilepsy I don't believe God gave it to me to fill some quota of having a certain number of epileptics on earth. I believe it just happened and God was more interested in what I was going to do with it. Same with my cancer He didn't give it to me to be mean or because He was bored or something. It just happened and He is watching to see how I behave during this time. Am I going to turn against Him or trust Him to see me thru.
I am trusting Him to see me thru and see my family thru. He loves me and I love Him. I know nothing is too hard for Him. I don't understand why I had to get cancer but I know things will work out whether I am cured or not.
They Call Me,

About Me
- Karen
- I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
