DAY 17: THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR
                                     FAITH









             “…let us run with endurance the race that is set before
              us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our
            faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the
             cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right
                           hand of the throne of God.”
                                  Hebrews 12:2

            This love story focuses on some of my conversations with
            God and His miracles.

            In April 2022, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma stage
            2,  blood  cancer  of  the  plasma  cells,  which  is  said  to  be
            incurable.  I  underwent  chemotherapy  and  a  stem  cell
            transplant to extend my life.
            I questioned God when I got the diagnosis. He reminded me
            that He is my loving King who died for me even when I was
            still  a  sinner  (Romans  5:8).  I  repented  and  asked  for
            forgiveness.
            I bargained with the Lord, “I know heaven is a wonderful
            place, but I want to grow old with my kids.”  God responded
            with  the  story  of  the  raising  of  Lazarus,  saying  that  this
            sickness will not end in death, but its purpose is to glorify
            God (John11:4).  And I will see the glory of God if I believed
            (John11:40).  He also reminded me that He gave Hezekiah15
