Praise the Lord for this day and all that He is doing for me. It is truly the love of the Lord that is keeping me. It is really the love of the Lord that has me here this day. I feel His presence around me and for that I am thankful.
I was thinking about the Lord’s moving in my life and His wonderful ways of bringing me through the mess of life to bless me with the love of Him in my life. He is truly blessing us regardless of what we are going through.
I was reading the blog post of my dear sister in Christ, Valerie requesting prayer for her Aunt who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her Aunt requested that family not contact her right away. I could so truly relate. I have been diagnosed with Lupus and I did not tell anyone right away nor did I discuss it right away. I had to go to the Lord first on it and really allow Him to speak to me on what to do. It is amazing how He will give you peace about things when everyone else is so overwhelmed with things.
As I read that post, I started thinking about how the Lord has blessed me so much and I have truly been thankful to the Lord for what He has done for me.
This month is Domestic Violence Month, Lupus Awareness, and Breast Cancer Awareness Month; to name a few things…it is truly the love of the Lord that has all three of these things in one month. I sat back and looked over the violence that I had endured as a child because of the choices my mother had made. I am a survivor of three types of cancer and though none of it was breast cancer, it was still cancer. Yet I am still fighting the diagnosis of Lupus! I stand this day to tell all those that will listen…you do not need to give in and give up.
The Lord is with you…step out there on faith and walk according to His will for your life. You can overcome abuse, you can overcome cancer, you can overcome addiction, you can overcome anything that you are determined to overcome in Jesus. The walk is not going to be easy, it is not going to go smoothly all the time, but guess what you shall overcome.
I sit here and write and think of my mother, God blessed her with everlasting peace when He took her from this earth. She was suffering so much and not just in her body but her mind too. I have been thinking a lot about her because we are coming up on the day she had to leave. It is not until November but since I am so happy in my life, I tend to miss her as I cannot share these times with her. I am blessed to have begun to heal of my past with her to have peace about her, yet I still miss her and want the world to know that you do not have to have your life end without the peace of God being in your life. You can have peace and love for all eternity and it can start right now in the name of Jesus. We are blessed people of God and all we have to do is call on Him and trust in Him.
You do not have to give into the circumstances this life has given you, you can stand in Him and know that He will bring you through it all – just trust in Him.
This is the truth of Alissa Lynne today – I am a testimony of the Lord’s will and way in my life. My life is the victory in Jesus. I am blessed and I know that if you trust in Him…you will see that your life is an awesome testimony to His goodness too! Trust in the Lord my sisters and brothers…trust in the Lord!
Until tomorrow,
Your sister in Christ,
Sister Alissa Lynne
