Update... #84619569

Hey guys. Well I had surgery this past Friday at 8:50 AM. They removed my right testicle, which was infected with cancer. I am in a bit of pain where the incision was, but other than that, I feel great.

I will be going back in the next week or two to have CAT scans and x-rays done to look for more cancer.

God has been my source for joy and wisdom through all of this. So many people say this, but I have to say it, because it is true... I have no idea where I would be right now or what I would be thinking if God had not entered my life and wrecked it with His love three years ago. The opportunities God has been giving me to speak into others' lives' have been so awesome, and there are more to come.

I would write more, but unfortunately I don't have the time right now.

Thank you guys so much for everything you do for me.

Keep God first :-)

God Bless.

Update #2

I got the blood work back, and they determined it is cancer. Today I went in for my pre-operation stuff at the hospital. They basically just went over everything with me. The surgery is scheduled to be Friday at 8:50 AM at the St. Luke's Hospital.

I just want to say that God has touched my life and taught me so much through this. I hope he is doing the same for you.

My prayer is that your life will be touched in an even greater way than mine has through this, that your relationship with God will become something it has never been before, that you will fall in love with God with so much passion that you just can't turn away from his joy and laughter.

Once again, I am nothing without God... He has made me who I am today despite my past. He can do the same for you. His hand is out, it just takes you to grab it.

Thank you all so much for the prayers, the thoughts, the messages, texts, phone calls... I am, again, speechless. A "thank you" is not enough.

God Bless.

Update on Life

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've updated, my mind has been turned into spaghetti in the past week and a half.

I went in for my biopsy this past Wednesday and I saw the specialist. He took a look at it and felt around, and concluded that a biopsy would be pointless and a waste of time. By the time we would get the results back( which would probably tell us something we already know), I could have had the surgery and prevented it from spreading further. AND if it turns out I don't have cancer, they will be able to find out what it is A LOT easier since I will already be cut open. He is now basically 90% sure it is cancer. My surgery is scheduled to be this Friday. I'm going in tomorrow for pre-operation crap.

I am still believing God for this miracle 100%, but I'm believing 110% for saved lives, expecially my family. So please pray for the people that will hear this story, that they will see the love of God through this situation, again, especially my family.

"My God, I am not, but you ARE." -My Epic

In this rough time, God has given me one of the most remarkable revelations I have ever been given, and it is something we will still never understand.

Whatever it is that I think I am, I am truly not. But, it is GOD, who is what I am.

No matter what I have accomplished, what I have done, how far I've gotten, how many people I've reached, how many times God has used me... I am still NOT... but God IS....

The only way I am getting through this is because "God IS". Everyday I wake up wondering why I have to go through this, why I have to feel this pain. I try and turn my back on God... but I just can't... I am nothing without Him, I am lost without Him.

The testimonies I am already getting from this have been unbelievable, just continue believing for more :-)

Thank you guys for everything.

God Bless.
