Mustard Seed Therapy, the time is now

Mustard Seed Therapy ... When I was a little girl one of the most cherished gifts I ever received was a pendant given to me by my mother. It was a dime-sized ball of amber cradled in silver. Inside the opaque drop of resin was a tiny mustard seed. She said, "If you have faith, even the size of a mustard seed you can make things happen for yourself." Of course being a child of 8 or so it probably didn't carry a lot of weight, just a heartfelt memory that surfaces now and then.
It is time for now and then right now. That memory is renewing itself and helping me fight for my life. The Monday after Christmas 2008 I was officially diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. During my first stay in the hospitol, just prior to confirmation of the disease, I asked God, "So what do you want me to do now?" The answer I received was simple an short, "Write This Story." I deliberated on which part of 'this story' I was supposed to write; when, where and how. I started a journal, but that didn't seem to be enough. So, I started a blog. I know there are countless stories out there about cancer, the survivors, those left behind and on and on. I do not want to write about gloom and doom, mostly because I do not believe in gloom and doom. however at times those parts may arise in my telling.
I wish to concentrate on the day to day awakenings I have discovered since my diagnosis. Most of us who have faced or are facing traumatic sequences in our life have read about how ones eyes are opened and how precious each day becomes because you don't know IF there is going to be another day or WHAT it is going to bring. It is true it is all true about "make each day count",
Matthew 13/31-32 The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. Which indeed is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof (KJV)
So this is me now, I am a simple mustard seed that God has chosen to look upon and replant so I can grow and become living proof of His wisdom and good grace.
