I remember coming home from school about 2 months ago. I walk in through the front door and my mom called me into her room. What she told me was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. She told me there was the possibility she could have breast cancer. She hadn't been to the doctor yet but she had felt a lump in her breast. When I heard, I felt like my eyes shot into the back of my head and my heart sank into my stomach. After I walked out of my mom's room I went into mine. I closed the door, fell to my knees, and prayed to God that I wouldn't lose my mother. What I hadn't realized at the time is that God had been preparing me for this situation. In leadership class Pastor Tim had been talking about how when God speaks to us it isn't always a thunderous voice. Most of the time we'll mistake God for our own thoughts. Also in the bible one thing really stuck out to me while I was reading; Jesus would always say have faith or something along those lines. I felt like God was telling me to have faith. So everyday I would pray something like, "dear Jesus, you knew the circumstance w/my mother, and I'm believing in faith for a healing from God. I know you're the same yesterday, today, and forever, and your word says wfaith the size of a mustard seed mountains can be moved. So Father God I give it to you, it's in jesus name I pray." I prayed that prayer for about 2 weeks until my mom took the tests. The day she went to the doctor's and I came home from school, I was praying all the way from the bus stop. I walked through the front door, went into my mom's room, and she told me that all the tests came back negative. I shouted, "Praise God!" It felt like I could breathe again. It was the best feeling to have faith in God because no matter what, he knows best and he's always there. So whatever comes your way have faith.
