HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT...

Natalia went for her follow up on Friday and she is STILL positive for strep AND urinary tract infection. She had cellulitis a few times, but she's cleared of those infections. She has been on antibiotics for over 30 days and she is still fighting two infections. Due to her treatment, she's become resistant to most antibiotics. She has been having bone and chest pain for months....and there appears to be no relief for her little body. The AMAZING thing is....she looks awesome,...on the outside! I really believe it is the GRACE of GOD that makes her strong....MORE than STRONG! She is a CONQUEROR, an OVERCOMER, because HE IS THE ONE THAT GIVES HER THE STRENGTH TO GET THROUGH! GOD-STRONG! The MIRACLE of GOD's mighty POWER at work IN HER! HIS POWER IS PERFECTED IN HER WEAKNESS! The past two days have been a roller coaster to say the least. She's had a ton of blood work done, and doctor follow ups. MORE appointments and tests are on the horizon. After her appointments on Friday, we were sitting on the couch, laughing and enjoying our "down" time together after a long, busy day....when I put my hand right on her left leg and felt a hard lump on her lower femur bone, above her knee........time stood still........FOR ALL OF US. The next day we were at the pediatrician's having him feel the lump. He said he felt strongly that it was a calcified hematoma, and that I needed to give the oncologist and the surgeon a call. In my weakness, HIS Grace shall be all I need for TODAY, and I shall NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, but in EVERYTHING, WITH THANKSGIVING, present your requests unto The Lord! And THEN.....THE PEACE OF GOD WILL GUARD MY HEART AND MIND! Philippians 4:6-7 No words to express our gratitude for having our Natalia Sofia with us! Thanking our Lord, Jesus Christ for his never changing faithfulness....for HIS power is made perfect in my weaknesses! FOCUSING ON WHAT IS UNSEEN. For our MOMENTARY LIGHT AFFLICTION is producing for us incomparable eternal weight! Praise Jesus!!! HIS GRACE is suffice! For HIS POWER is perfected in MY WEAKNESS! HIS POWER resides in me! FOR THAT IS WHEN I AM STRONG!!! Thankful for your undeserving GRACE...... 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore, I will most gladly boast all the more about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may reside in me. So I take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, catastrophes, persecutions, and in pressures, because of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Philippians 4:6-7 Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Definition of God's Grace – How do theologians define it? "What is grace? In the New Testament grace means God’s love in action towards men who merited the opposite of love. Grace means God moving heaven and earth to save sinners who could not lift a finger to save themselves. Grace means God sending His only Son to descend into hell on the cross so that we guilty ones might be reconciled to God and received into heaven. ‘(God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him’" (2 Corinthians 5:21).1 2 Corinthians 4:10, 15-18 We always carry the death of Jesus in our body, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. Indeed, everything is for your benefit, so that grace, extended through more and more people, may cause thanksgiving to increase to God’s glory. Therefore we do not give up. Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day. For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
