The Flipside of Peace

Flipside of "Peace" ATC--j. N-L

Well, here it is!

Here is the flipside of my "Peace" ATC.

I must say, that I really enjoyed making this ATC. Focusing on "peace", helped to keep me centered as I went through a week that was comprised of various doctor visits, blood draws, and a diagnostic mammogram. I cannot imagine what this adventure might have been like without Jesus as my companion.

For those of you who do not experience Jesus as a real, living presence this might be difficult to understand; but Jesus was with me in a very real way.

I felt his breath in my hair and his hand on my shoulder during my mammogram. I felt his steady and comforting gaze during all of the poking and the prodding that occurred during my blood draws and physical exams. Then, when the phone rang yesterday afternoon, Christ was there to hold my hand when the doctor called with the mammogram results.

Yeah, I know this sounds a little crazy; but I think that the followers of Jesus Christ have always been seen as a little "out there". I suppose it really doesn't matter to me what others think anymore. You can laugh, call me crazy or perhaps even find me a little pitiful. It really doesn't matter, because I have found a friend in Christ and a life in Him that can never be taken from me.

I suppose you could say, that I have found true peace.

Thank you Jesus!
