Even then, no matter how bleak the circumstance, she never doubted the promises of God. She believed good things come to those who place their faith in God.\u201d Excerpt from Reflections of Grace, My Mother.<\/p>\n<h3>September 2018. Not Yet, But Soon<\/h3>\n<p>I will keep on believing like my mama taught me. She taught by example to place my faith in God, not in the things (or people) of this world. Philippians 4:13 was her life Scripture. She believed and lived it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can do all things through Him who gives me strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paul wrote this Scripture from a dark prison cell. He was most likely hungry and lonely for the friendships of other believers. Yet, he tells us he can do this because God is with him and gives him the strength to face each day. In the worst circumstances and a bleak future, Paul tells us to keep our eyes on Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>Like Paul, my mama knew she could face anything because God was her strength. This did not mean that things were always peaceful in my mama\u2019s life; it meant that she found peace in God for whatever she faced. It didn\u2019t mean that she always had plenty; there were times she struggled financially as a young widow with children. But she trusted God for whatever she needed in every circumstance. Having God was more than enough because when she was weak, God was stronger.<\/p>\n<p>These are some of the \u201cnuggets of gold\u201d my mama taught me along the way. She taught by living her faith for all to see. And today, as I travel through a cancer journey, because of what she taught me, I am confident that through Him, because of Him, I can do this. When I am weak, He is strong.<\/p>\n<p>Not yet, but soon I will walk through the door with the word \u201cexit\u201d written above it, and this part of the journey will end.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I cling to my faith and push on. It\u2019s what my mama taught me.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_with_border et_pb_module et_d4_element et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h4><span>My Mama's life verse: \"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.\" Sandi Herron, Reflections of Grace, 2024\u00a0<\/span><span><\/span><\/h4><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module et_pb_text_align_justified\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><span>Philippians 4:13 | I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s September 2018 and I am on a journey through cancer.
