View from the 11th floor of the hospital at UT Southwestern Medical Center this past Friday while I was waiting for an elevator. That's downtown Dallas on the horizon.

This is a cancer update, for the long time followers who have been with me on this ride...

My Colon cancer is now established in my Liver in addition to my Lungs. The last regular chemo treatments did not stop progression and neither did a research trial drug that I did for a couple of months.

However, this week I started a new research study that looks promising. It's a Phase 1 trial, which means that the medicine hasn't been tried in people before. In fact, I believe that I am the 4th person to use this medication delivered in this manner. Basically, they use a CT scanning machine to insert a long 17 Gauge needle into two of my liver tumors. The research drug is injected into one of the tumors with a smaller 18 guage needle and biopsies are taken through the needles as well while they have them in there.

If this sounds unpleasant, it is 😄😄. But they give me a local anesthetic (it's never enough!) and once they withdraw the guide needles the pain subsides.

After my first treatment I am tolerating the drug really well. We do this weekly for a month and then every other week for another month and then we'll do a scan and look for signs of improvement or at least the halting of progression.

I am 100% confident that God has me in His hand. Whether I am "cured", or not, doesn't change that. Honestly, my level of Joy and Happiness and Calm has been higher for the past couple of years than they ever were before. I owe all that to Him. Cancer has taken a lot from me, but it doesn't compare a bit to what I have gotten from the experience.

Don't get me wrong... I really want to be healed. To be able to face the future without having the constant spector of cancer looming over my shoulder. But my Plan may not be the best plan. His plan is.

I know this with no reservations:

God doesn't promise you a life of ease with no pain. Just that he will be there with you through it all if you let him. And he is never wasteful of your hurts. None of it is in vain.

I'll let y'all know how I'm doing down the road a little bit 😊

Sola Gratia Grace alone This is a proclamation that salvation is solely by grace alone. Grace being an unmerited favor/gift given to an undeserving party. We are that undeserving party who has received salvation and forgiveness of sin not based on any merit of ours but as a gift undeserved. We did absolutely nothing to deserve this great salvation yet God in his kindness chose to grant it to us. So salvation is by grace alone and not by anything we have done. We didn’t muster enough inner strength or merits to acquire this. It was a gift, given to us, out of God’s unmeasurable kindness. This is a reality I constantly struggle with not just in regards to salvation but on an everyday basis. How can still God tolerate a sinner like me? How can he still call me his own knowing what I’ve done even after he granted me this great salvation? Why does he still encouraging me to persevere despite the failures I constantly rememver? Why does he grant me favor knowing how sinful I am? It’s his grace. Grace doesn’t look at our merits our ability to hold up the requirements of God’s law. How good or how versed we are in churchyanity. Grace looks at a sinner who doesn’t deserve God’s goodness and mercy and says “Let’s show this person how great your goodness and mercy is” it runs out to meet you in your distress, in your miserable and damnable state and clothes you with abundance of mercy and goodness! It claims you as a member of God’s family! It’s my struggle but also my joy. My battle and my hope. We don’t deserve His kindness yet his grace is what gives us access into his glorious kingdom. It opens the doors to the joys in store for all who hope in Him. Let’s not forget that we all need and benefit so much from God’s amazing grace. It’s by grace we‘ve been saved through faith and that not of our selves but it is a gift of God. #christianartist #christianart #christiancreative #illustration #illustrator #digitalpainter #solas #chrsitiangraphics #churchcreative #crtvchurch #prochurchmedia #photoshop #photoshoppainting #photoshopartist #worship #grace #drawmore #desiringjesus #jesuswins #jesusfollower #jesusart #deogloriaart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAf739F0_x/?utm_medium=tumblr

Filho(a) quando nasci nao tinha um quarto disponivel porque nao me cabia, eu fui rejeitado pelos líderes religiosos da época por que la tambem não me coube, também por aquele povo que eu havia escolhido, rejeitado pelas multidões e até pelos meus irmãos, quando fui julgado no Sinédrio preferiram libertar Barrabás porque lá também nao tinha espaço pra mim e quando me crucificaram e me colocaram no túmulo depois de três dias todos viram que la não me coube. O que eu quero dizer filho(a) é: se te rejeitam não se preocupe, nao se entristeça porque quando Eu voltar para buscar minha noiva eles vão ver que aqui não te coube porque você não pertence a este mundo.

Matthew 1:18-25-Blog 2-8.3.20-Joseph be like?!

Happy Monday yal! Another day, another post about the Word of God. Today we be looking at the rest of the Matthew Chapter 1. 

Matthew 1:18-25 is the account of the birth of Jesus Christ. If yal did not know, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was not conceived via natural ways normal humans are born. 

Matthew 1:20-21-”But while he thought about these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

So one day Mary finds out she is pregnant. Joseph and Mary know it can’t be them, because they have not had sex, so of course this raises a lot of questions. I mean can you imagine? I want to talk about Joseph, I wonder what kind of thoughts he was experiencing at this time. Imagine  all the doubts he must have had before the angel talked to him.

How often do we question the direction the Lord is leading us? How often do we feel like the calling God has on our life may seem too much or overwhelming? These two people were having the raise the SON OF GOD? Talk about what!?!

God did not leave them hanging tho, they did just fine obviously. God is going to test our faith in Him by asking us to do things that may take us out of our comfort zone.  But anything the Lord calls us to do is never impossible if we put our faith in Him. If Mary and Joseph can raise the Son of God, we can do whatever the Lord commands us to do.
