5, ya only 5
That's right, i only have 5 treatments left here in Kelowna. Good morning to you all!
Esther and i arrived back in Kelowna just in time to unpack and go to my appointment. Then our daughter,Rachelle, arrived from the Bible college she attends,
to hang out with us for a few days. We are very happy that she can be here to visit.
I have to let you know that we hosted an amazing prayer meeting last night right here in our motel room. A local pastor, along with some of his prayer team and a local retired pastor all came together to PRAY for me. WOW! What an incredible prayer time! I was so encouraged and major blessed! Plus, i just feel so good! Plus, my beautiful wife kept saying that i look so much younger after the prayer time.(now that's scary!) I mean, how much younger am i suppose to look? I guess, if i looked older, maybe i wouldn't have had a kid's tumor in my spine.(just kidding!):)
Actually, i am going to post this crazy truth again because i think there are many new people on this blog that don't know what type of tumor i have/had. Here it goes.
When i was diagnosed, i had a brain tumor, in my spine, that is really only found in kids. So, that is one thing that makes it so rare. It is so rare in kids, yet extra rare in adults to the stupid stage. Why i said "have/had" is because i had the tumor. Now, after all the prayer and radiation/chemo, that tumor is destroyed. Amen! Please be standing with us in regards to that truth. We are believing for a totally devine healing! Plus, we believe so clearly that we are going to pray for others and see them healed by God miraculously as well. Feel free to join this special healing prayer team as we step out in the opportunities that God brings our way.
You know, when we were told originally that i had a child's tumor, my wife said, "Tim, I told you that you should grow up. You were suppose to stop acting like a kid but, no, you even have a kid's tumor now." Everyone had fun with that one. Plus, ya, they were so right. I do like to act a tad childlike, ok, a lot childlike, ok, i am one big kid! But, God still loves me and i would verture to say that He loves you too. So, there is hope out there! Do you agree? If you don't have hope, you are hooped! I like that! NO HOPE,YOU ARE HOOPED! or HOOPED WITHOUT HOPE!
To be totally straight up, i would have to say that personally, i have incredible hope for the future, because i am in a personal friendship with the Creator. Of course, the BIBLE says all can have friendship with the Creator through Jesus, because He paid the penalty for our sin by dying on the cross. All we have to do is say sorry for our sin and ask Him to forgive us. Then, invite Jesus to give us His strength to walk this incredible life that follows. The peace and inner joy that comes in whatever situation you find yourself is just so amazing. I wouldn't change it for anything else that i have come across in the 30 years that i have continues to journey through life. Well, that's enough for now, i find myself in a preaching mode lots lately. I hope you don't mind too much, plus it really is close to my heart so i guess it will come out more. Hang in there, it just might change your life! It did mine!
Love ya,
Tim

Hi Tim
We love you too!!!
Great Esther can be with you.
Best wishes form Hp and Co.
Standing with you, expecting & believing God for a miracle. He has done it before. He is all powerful. We can trust Him to do it again. His Word does not return void. So ...
1Peter 2:24 "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."
Hey Tim and Esther look at this : From More Power to you by Merlin R Carothers Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit as Joy. The Bible speaks of "fullness of joy." Jesus talked about finding something so desirable that a person would gladly sell all he had in order to possess it. Have you discovered any pleasure worth giving up all you possess? Jesus did because He knew its worth, He tried in every way possible to pass it on to you and me. Anyone who discovers what Jesus meant will be "hooked" for ever. Worshipping God is the eternal destiny of humanity and this eternal destiny is to be so glorious that we cannot even imagine what it will be like. Worshipping God will be the fulfillment of man's unending desire to find perfect, soul statisfying pleasure. This pleasure will not be dulled by enjoying it! It will only be increased ! The sense of well-being that it provides will continue to increase for all eternity. If praise and worship have this potential, we would be foolish not to begin practicing it now. It may require us to struggle with past prejudices. But remember, Jesus promised that he who has much will be given more. As we begin, He will add to that which we have, little though it may be. We may be addicted to enjoying life only when everything is going well for us. This may have been our lifestyle for so long that breaking the habit seems impossible. The desciples frequently presented Jesus with logical reasons to be unhappy, but He never accepted them. We were not created for unhappiness! Every unhappy thought or experience just "kills" us. Our stomachs hurt. Our heads ache. God wants something better for us..He wants us to always be happy. But life isn't that way. Life is, I repeat, rough! Happiness is not easy to find in many circumstances. Perhaps in some, seemingly impossible. but remember...WITH God, all things are possible. Why not try God's perfect solution ? Practice worshipping Him all the time. Worship when you don't feel like it. When it seems dull, stupid, unreal. The body, mind and spirit will soon get the message. We have discovered what we were created for ! Now we are on our way toward getting hooked on the most exciting experience in all the universe ! Worship by believing He is with us and controlling our situation. Must we wait until we feel His presence ? If we wait for feelings, we will never really worship Him. Feelings are controlled by our flesh. Worship is spiritual...of our spirit. God is Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit John 4:24. Love you guys J. F. Williams Lake
miss you and cant wait to have you home!
