One Saturday not too long after returning to my so called-normal life, I was invited by a
friend to her church for a special women’s program. It was called “Singing in the
Rain” and was a French inspired luncheon set up with the theme of rain and umbrellas
etc. The highlight would be a speaker who would talk on hope for women dealing with
storms in their lives. The church auditorium was beautifully decorated like a rainy
afternoon out a Paris bistro, the singing made for a lovely program, and the speech
was very inspirational. But the most touching part came at the end when everyone was
asked to stand up and testify and praise God for getting through a storm. One after the
another, women stood up and thanked Jesus for help with the loss of a loved one, on
getting them through surgery or illness, on addictions etc. Anyone who knows me will
tell you that I’m not one of those comfortable in speaking in front of a crowd. So
true to my nature, although I knew I most definitely had a huge storm that God has just
recently gotten me through, I was too scared and anxious to speak up. I sat there until
the testimonies were over.
Not standing up and speaking out to share my miracle at the luncheon bothered me the
rest of the day. I felt guilty and ashamed. The next day at church somewhere between
the hymn singing and sermon, I prayed for forgiveness and peace. It was then that I
came to a realization. I am testifying but it’s in a different way. Maybe God is using
me to reach out to others through more of a one on one way. I work in customer
service so I see a great many of people throughout my day. I have been quite
outspoken and honest about my remission being a blessed miracle from God and never
afraid to say so. Every day I continue to be amazed by the number of customers or a
family member with cancer or who had cancer. And I’ve also been writing and
emailing about my experience to some others I met through my sister’s church or my
dealings on eBay. I like to think that I have touched and helped a few with my cancer
story.
After the Sunday service I confessed to my husband on how guilty I was feeling about
not speaking out at the women’s program but that it was during the service that I
realized I am testifying but that it’s with the cards and letters I’ve been doing or my
customers from work. That’s when Chuck told me he was thinking of doing a website
about the miracle that God has given us and that he worried that I may not be
comfortable with sharing it. Funny how God works isn’t it? I was wanting to reach
out to others but couldn’t by speaking in front of others and God had already planted
the idea for the website in my husband’s mind! GOD IS GOOD!!
