I wanted to run as far as I could - the other way! But I knew I couldn't. After all God has done for me I have to go with Him and He will hold my hand. God has provided. He has brought the vision and the right people to me and I am starting Jill Jarrell-Newsome Ministries! Not only has He brought me the vision but the people who share my vision! We are so excited watching God bring it! We plan to begin with a conference, "Hope In Him". We hope to advertise on the Christian radio station for breast cancer awareness month but I want this to be for any kind of cancer or sickness (physical or mental) for men, women or caregivers. There are many groups to support sickness but not spiritual. This will be spiritual encouragement! How to have hope during the diagnosis, the treatment and afterwards when many people are waiting for the other shoe to fall, they have survivor's guilt or they are living in fear.
For a while, I could not speak of this, out loud, because I was too scared so I sent an email to about 15 people. The support I have gotten is overwhelming and we had our first meeting on August 30, which was the date I was diagnosed 11 years ago! A God wink! I have had people offer their support through prayer, their talents, financial gifts and lots of love! I have three churches that have set dates for me to come speak and we haven't had the first conference or advertised! My God is BIG!
I cannot do this but God can and I am trusting Him! I feel like I am jumping out of an airplane without a parachute! But that is what faith is, right? Lamentations 3: 25-26, “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him. it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”
Thank you for your prayers, friends!
