First, Happy Birthday daddy! I love and appreciate you so very much.
Today I went to Cadillac Custom Tattoo to get a tattoo for my birthday, Will had done the previous one and I liked him and the place so I went back. The owner Chris Andrews overheard me talking and asked if I was a Christian to which I said YES! Very long story short, we talked about scripture, salvation, how we came to be saved (he has an awesome testimony) and much more. He called his wife Paula and she and their daughter Trinity came to the shop and we all talked about my cancer and Gods plan for me but Chris asked me a question no one has ever asked me before. He asked if I would rather go home (heaven) or be healed and stay here, I said I wanted Gods will not my own and that by my asking God to heal me I felt that I wasn’t trusting God and his plans for me. He asked the question again, clearly the blonde in me wasn’t getting the point he was trying to make but finally I did. Here’s the point, if I am healed then I can stay here and continue to spread the message of salvation, I can go anywhere and give my testimony to hundreds even thousands of people which is exactly what my sister said she saw me doing in the future! I got excited because all I’ve ever wanted to do was testify for the Lord but I was short sighted until today, I assumed that giving my testimony and praising God while going through cancer and then on to be with Jesus was the total sum of it all but I was wrong. I have always known that God could remove all my cancer but I never thought that he would because I believed my cancer was the point but now I am believing that I will be healed because I know that as long as I am alive I will spread the gospel anywhere they will have me (and even where they won’t) I’m not afraid of the lions den and heaven knows I have no problem talking about Jesus! I feel refreshed and renewed all be it a tad sore from being tattooed for nearly 2 hours! ahh the cost of beauty but tomorrow it will be all better and it was well worth it. By the way, this tattoo shop is unlike any I have ever been in, they do not do any tattoos that disrespect Jesus, nothing satanic in any form, no vulgar music ( they had christian music playing) and the atmosphere is very relaxed and you feel a calmness when you are there. Will tells me that he was ready to give up doing what he loved when Jesus put Chris in his life, now he does what he loves and is learning more and more about our Lord and Savior and you can see that everyone there is a true believer. We all grow in our walk with the Lord at different speeds and today I was breaking the speed limit all because of the awesome people at Cadillac Custom Tattoo and the wisdom the Lord gave them and their desire to share it with me.
Thank you Chris, Paula and the crew at Cadillac Custom Tattoo.
God Bless you all.
