SET YOUR FAITH ...

Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. Colossians 3: 2


I never really knew a lot about real faith until I had my brain tumor. I had heard all of the talk, the sounds, the praise; unfortunately at that time, I'd say I hadn't enough of the Word to know it all. It was totally my fault; not anyone else. That's a fact.


I could not set my mind on the brain tumor inside my head. I had to set my mind on God. I kept it there. I don't know how I did; but I did. Everyday, I made up my mind to live right before God. I aimed to live a life that was pleasing to him.

I was about to face my greatest test and I was going to be ready for it.

People came out of the woodwork so to speak just before I had my surgery. They all meant well. Unfortunately none of them had any major hope that I would survive. As we all gathered around to pray, I found myself convincing and ministering to them through my prayer because I was TOTALLY convinced that I would survive and be better.


I don't think they were, but I'm sure they were strengthened when it was over.



I had the surgery. I survived and eventually I was better. (smile)

I only was able to make it by setting my faith on that which is above. We don't know the logistics of life; the left or right turns, the stop or yield signs; but God does. He directs traffic. Are you letting God direct traffic for you? If you'll let Him, He will do it.

The Doctors told me that the Brain Tumor was going to continuously grow back and that I would have to have Brain Surgery every three to four years for the rest of my life.This was due to residual tissue wrapped around my optic nerve that could not be removed. I later had a cat scan and there were no traces of the Residual Tissues and the tumor never grew back. Set your faith.

I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron. KJV Isaiah 45: 2
