Gracie & JoJo ~ A Testimony about Faith and 2 Handkerchiefs

 

Gracie

Our dog, Gracie, is the one who had a fast-growing mammary tumor, which swelled to the size of a grapefruit rapidly.  The veterinarian, who had years of experience with such things and hundreds of surgeries under her belt, tried to prepare me pre-op for the worst, in that it was probably cancerous and a good outcome would likely not be achieved.  In my mind, I refused to acknowledge that report and said to myself, "Satan, you don't get the last word on this, God Almighty does."

After the surgery, the Vet sent the tumor and some adjacent lymph nodes to a well-renowned Veterinary University in a major city, which specializes in such matters.  About a week later, she received the biopsy report and was blown away by it.  The report stated that the tumor was consistent with a Grade 1 carcinoma (notice: it was not labeled unequivocally as a cancer, nor could they identify its classification, such as adenocarcinoma, or squamous cell, or lymphoid, etc, but simply it was "consistent" with a carcinoma - but couldn't determine which one, if it was cancer at all. If it was, they couldn't clarify that it was, only that the tissue abnormality was "consistent" with a Grade 1, rather than the more serious grades of 2, 3, or 4).  They reported that there was no lymph node involvement, so the abnormality was only within the tumor itself (which was completely excised) and had not spread to other tissues. 

I truly think that this was a "But God" miracle.  I had been standing on faith regarding Gracie's tumor, declaring Matthew 15:13 over her: "Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up."  By the time that we took Gracie in for her surgery, she had been wearing the handkerchief from Sheryl York and her ministry, called America Reimagined, for more than a week, and we had hoped that the tumor would decrease in size, but it only did so initially for a few days, and then it started growing rapidly. What did happen, I am convinced, is that the cancerous cells were being replaced with normal cells, and the Veterianarian was a tool used by God to root it out.

This event was also a testimony to the Veterianarian, who told me she had seen similar tumors, although this one was larger than most and even extended into her abdominal cavity, so it was even bigger than it appeared,  She was certain it was a terminal cancer, but when she got the lab results and saw how quickly Gracie recovered within 2 days from what was an extensive surgery, she said that God had to have had His hand in this.  She declared it was a miracle and wanted me to write out the Bible verse for her, which I gladly did.

Praise be to our Lord and Savior!  Nothing is impossible with God! (And don't forget, a handkerchief can come in "handy," too.  The Apostle Paul certainly exemplified that principle; so why not a handkerchief from Sheryl and her husband, Apostle Joshua!)

JoJo

We received the handkerchiefs, and JoJo and Gracie have been proudly wearing them wrapped around their collars.  I am so pleased to report that JoJo's tumor has shrunk almost to the point of being gone - it is only the size of a pea now (and I really have to feel around on her belly to even find it), when it was the size of 1/2 of a typical candy bar!  Praise the Lord!  

BTW:  Gracie seems to have made a complete recovery after her surgery a couple of weeks ago, and both she and JoJo still happily wear their handkerchiefs from you around their collars.

Sincerely,

Beverly C.
