Happy Holidays Martha....

And, thank You God for another day. Thank you for sharing that intimate story with us, Martha. I found a little something yesterday & haven't called the doctor yet. I have a bit of fear & a bit of uncomfortability, however, I also have God in my life. I used to tell my God how big my problems were...today, I tell my problems how big my God is. I will use that scripture as my mantra & know that God will carry me through.
Amen, Lori K.

THANK YOU GOD FOR MAKING ME THE SURVIVOR I AM. TODAY I WENT IN FOR MY BREAST CANCER TESTS,,, I DON'T HAVE CANCER. THE WORST PART OF ALL OF THIS IS WAITING 30 DAYS FOR THE TESTS AND ACTING STRONG AROUND FAMILY AND FRIENDS.. WELL, I LOST IT A HOUR BEFORE MY TESTS . NO ONE WAS HOME TO SEE ME FINALLY CRY. I CALLED MY BEST FRIEND ,LINDA AND HER MOM JUST LISTENED AND SAID THAT THEY HAD HAD CANCER, AND IF I HAD IT-EARLY DISCOVERY WAS THE BEST. THANK YOU MARTHA W. FOR YOUR INSPIRATIONAL VIDEOS.

I JUST SAW YOUR VIDEO... TOMORROW IS MY DAY TO SEE IF I HAVE BREAST CANCER. I CALL IT THE BEAST..YES,I DO HAVE A WONDERFUL FAMILY AND GREAT FRIENDS.. BUT ==WITH GOD, FAMILY AND FRIENDS THERE STILL IS THE FEAR OF THIS BEAST....I'M VERY SCARED....

I am very happy for your good news, Martha. I am a breast cancer survivor. I was 37 years old when diagnosed. I had been married for 16 years and my children were 9 and 11 years old. I know EXACTLY what you felt in the doctor's office! "Who will raise my children?" was my first thought. "I don't want to leave my husband" I thought at the same time. Well, that was 18 years ago now! How blessed I am to have been able to live and be healthy again! Prayer is what got me through that difficult time. I will forever thank the Lord for answering my prayers!

Hi,Martha!I'm glad that you got a clean bill of health from your doctor.

Hi Martha

I've been watching your videos now for a year and just wanted to let you know that I love you and thank you for each inspiring video. I've shared many, cried with a few; and somehow became more enriched by you.

God bless you and I'm so glad all is well with you!

I remember a morning having breakfast and reading the bible,when God pointed out a verse to me, Exodus 14:13,14--"Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He shall work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you and you have only to be still." He asked me who or what are the Egyptians in my life. It's hard to just stand still and wait for the Lord, but it's true--He always fights for us. I wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Ms. Williamson,
So thankful for another wonderful message but thankful to the Lord that you received good news regarding your health.
Thank you for sharing your heart and your faith.

Blessings upon you and yours,

Shirley

It was in the middle of the night, ten years ago that I received that scripture. There had been so many fronts to fight and during one severe blow I said to my husband, I sense the spirit of destruction, a destroyer. That very night in the dark I opened the bible to Jeremiah where the scripture says I have plans for you, plans for your prosperity, not your destruction, plans to bring about the future that you hope for. Martha, your soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and your spirit exults in God your Saviour, for He who is mighty has done great things for you and holy, holy is His name. You still have much work to do, you know that. You have been positioned for a time such as this. I added my own prayer to the scripture...lined up with your perfect will and to the Glory of Your Name. ( There are medical tests continuing my way... God keep us stronger than that which comes against us and show us the way out, and now would be a good time Lord!)

I am glad that you are doing well and everything is going to be OK. Always remember from one of my favorite shows. A verse that I remember the most when I am down and scared..."I will walk with you," and he will.

Martha, that is such good news! Praise God! The Lord has given me that scripture (Jer. 29:11) time after time after time when I am going through things in my life. It is water to a thirsty soul. We rejoice with you and thank God that He has you (and all of us) in the palm of His hand. Love to you.


Yes..... you can have hope of all kinds.... thank you for the love and light that is so beautifully shared here!
I refer to the www.learningnewgermainmedicine.com for all kinds of health concerns. Its been excellent and highly reliable.
Thank you,

Dear Martha, thank you for once more pouring out of your source of encouragement, and once more making me more eager to learn more of the scriptures of the Bible.

Thank you for authentically sharing your sincere graditude for God's blessings in your life. My family shared our first Thanksgiving without our parents (both died recently within 2 months of each other - my Mom had Alzheimers and my Dad had a brain aneurism). I read a poem/prayer in their memory last night at the Thanksgiving table. I wrote it back a few years ago in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary. Thought you might enjoy:

The Love That Endures
by Tom Janicik

The love that endures
Bears an eternal flame
Impossible to extinguish

The love that endures
Forgives
The gravest of mistakes

The love that endures
Shares with an open heart
Even when overwhelemd by fear

The love that endures
Reflects deep burning passion
Caring more for the other than one's self

The love that endures
Places complete trust in God
Accepting whatever He provides

Psalm 136:26 Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever. NKJV

Wishing everyone a blessed time of Thanksgiving with family and friends...

Facing "more tests" this coming Monday, your post today was incredibly meaningful to me. I don't know how the tests will come out. I do know that whatever is in the future, I will not be alone. Scary? Yes! Life changing? Possibly. Although we are not promised (contrary to popular belief) that we will not be given more than we can handle, we are promised that we will not be given more than God can handle. And it is on that my faith will rest.

Ms. Williamson, I have lot to be thankful for - as we all do. I would have to say that YOU and your wonderful productions, and making us all aware of the promises of God, are among the most inspirational. May our Lord bless you and your wonderful family and talents
