In the Middle

By Evelina Johnson Buendia

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11

Good moooorning.

Just finished listening to Joyce Meyer this morning and her message for today was, “Don’t give up in the middle.” And that really hit home because, after the lumpectomy, I did my best to stay strong-minded. ’Cause, like Pastor O’Donnell just said, when you allow your soul to remain broken, that gives the enemy the perfect opportunity to take control.

So praise God for the strength He gives me day by day to smile in the midst of my trials. Thank God for the strength to go on, thank God that I’m not sitting around feeling sorry for myself, thank God for reminding me that joy cometh in the morning and thank God that “I know” that I’m only being used for His glory.

Yes! Father. Thank you for not allowing me to give up in the middle. ’Cause I could’ve easily turned on you when the report came back with a positive margin, or when the chemo would drain me, or even right now after losing a breast.

Loooord, thank you for keeping me afloat and for not letting me give up in the middle.

Amen.
