God is Bigger Than This Monster

DECEMBER 19, 2022 Welcome back, and thank you for reading my blog "God is bigger than THIS monster".  This monster is Metastatic Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Triple Negative - stage 4.   And YES, God is bigger!  Christmas is just around the corner!  Yes, in just 6 days!  Oh the anticipation and joy of the Birth of Christ!!  I am anticipating the celebration - and in many ways it has begun!  But, very soon, we will gather at church and worship the King Who became a Baby!    You've heard it said many times in history a baby has become a King.... but this was and is the ONLY time a King became a baby .  And, not just a king....THE KING OF KINGS!!

Today - after all the treatments I have described in prior blog postings, I can tell you CHRIST  is ENOUGH!  Colossians 1:16-017 "for through Him (Jesus Christ),  God created everything in the heavenly realms
