From what I have heard and have come to believe, God gives us choices. I don't think God chose to do her harm. Her husband and her children made choices. I firmly believe that cancer is caused by unexpressed feelings and thoughts, mostly of a negative variety and they are just cankers that corrode the soul.

We often pray that someone get well or is relieved of their pain, yet how God chooses to answer our prayer often makes me careful of how I ask. I try to ask for their Higher Good and that they be given what they need, not what I think they require.

I am glad her faith was so strong and that she hung onto God's hand through it all. It certainly is a heavy burden to carry.

My aunt prayed to be taken home when she lost her eye sight. God didn't answer her prayer for two years. She was a healthy lady, her body was in fine physical shape. She had few wrinkles and didn't look her age, which was 83 when she passed away. She had dementia at the end. She was a lady who did for everyone else all her life, including me. I missed her very much. It was important for me not to keep her spirit here because of my grief. Many times I would go to pick up the phone to call her. I had to let her go.

For the past week, I have been praying and asking for help with my pain. I have always asked for help each day, but this was a more of an emotional and spiritual help, going beyond the physical problem.

God put three awesome people in my path. Another lady, who I met on Monday and again today who I hadn't seen for a long time, and all of a sudden she started appearing in my life in the last few months.

When we ask, but more importantly, when we are willing, the teacher appears. I have so much anger, combined with guilt, resentment, pissed off, fear, did I mention anger, and not only from today, but anger from my past at 18. I have very little memory before the age of 14. A lot of it is body memory and needs to be healed. How can you heal what you don't remember. With God's help, there is no other way or solution.

A lot of it is also trust issues. For some reason, I expect people in recovery to be honest and I realized that I put to many expectations on them. Their not willing to look at their issues is their problem not mine. So I could see my control issues showing and I know that when I am in control, I am in my dis-ease, not in recovery. If I have to control it, it is already out of control. For me, it is better left to my God. I prefer to just go with the flow. Let things be. I don't have to make it happen. I can't make something out of nothing. Yet I felt like nothing, and God made something out of me.

He is the answer to my prayer!
