God's Healing Touch

Life seems to go by really fast. I had a procedure on Friday that will tell the doctor how well my colon has healed and what will need to be done to do my take down from the ileostomy. Dr. Jamison is going to look at if he needs to do it in two surgeries or one. I would rather have only one but have full confidence in my doctor and his ability to make the best decision on my behalf. God had given me such a peace in this whole situation.


I was telling Harold the other day that I think that sometimes people get so hung up on physical healing that they forget to look to God for the best possible way to deal with the spiritual side of things. I know that God has healed my spirit and given me the ability to go through anything that happens in my life and still give God the glory and praise with joy in my heart. This is the true healing when you can look at your situation and know that God is in control no matter what happens. I am not saying that God does not heal people physically because I have seen that in my life and others. God had the ability to do what ever He chooses to do. I will write later when I find out more of what is going to take place but for now I am just resting in knowing that God is in control.

God's Purpose or God's Permission

It has been a while since I have been able to blog.  In my previous blog I said I was having some problems with my back and that it could be weight related.  Well the doctor did an MRI and they found a mass in my pelvic area then an US was ordered and it showed a 9cm mass in my pelvic area on the left side.  From there things just went really fast.  The Salem surgeon would not do anything because they felt it was cancer so they sent my to the Rose Quarter Cancer Center on a Monday and by Thursday I was in surgery.  The surgery was to be a 3 hour surgery and a 6 day hospital stay.  It took Dr. Tseng 2 1/2 hours to get to that mass and in doing so he had to cut up my colon then he found a 8cm mass on the right side.  He called in Dr. Richard Jamison and he had to remove some of my small intestine and colon.  Well 6 1/2 hours later I came out of surgery with a NG tube and a loop ileostomy leaving me with an ostomy bag.  This was one of the hardest things to adjust to.  Dr. Jamison will be doing a reversal at the end of July if all things go good.  I ended up being in the hospital for 16 days.  Then a week later I stopped taking the pain meds that I had been on and went into a drug withdrawal causing me to have to have to return to the hospital for a few days.  In the mean time my wound became infected with staff infection and had to be opened up down to the muscle.  I only looked at it once and could see the muscle and the sutures in that.   After that my husband had to take over and do all of my dressing and wound care because it had to heal from the inside out.  Then last week my ileostomy scared shut and had to be reopened (with out and deadening  I might add).  This caused me to lose a lot of fluid and then my blood pressure went to 80/40 and I went into renal failure causing me to go back into the hospital.  I now have a pic line and have been having to go to STEPS in Silverton for IV therapy.  Finally yesterday my blood levels came in as normal and I am done with the IV therapy and Dr. Jamison will be pulling out the pic line ( IV line going to the heart since all my other veins are not very good at this time) on Friday.   I am getting real close to having my wound healed and that is all doctor is waiting for to do my other surgery.  All this to say that God is very good to me.  I am having a hard time getting the strength to do much so I am getting to spend time with God and that has been wonderful.  We do not know how we cram our lives full and leave a few minutes for God.  When you are able to take time to get to know Him it is awesome. I am still trying to figure out what it is going to take to keep myself in touch with God all the time but I do know that I am getting closer to figuring it out. I do know that I want God's purpose for my life and I do not want to just get by with His permission.  God bless you.

Do I Listen For God?

One of the things I am personally going through is asking God and then listening for Him to answer, instead I ask God and just going on as if He didn't hear me and take care of it to the best of my ability. I work in the medical field and it is very easy to just ask for healing and when it doesn't happen instantly running off to a doctor. My back has been bothering my the last few weeks and it now is getting where it is hard to walk in the mornings due to the leg and hip pain. Of course as I am complaining and going on how bad the pain is to Harold, he says "Cherylynn just ask God to heal you". So I started to pray and ask God to heal me, but in the mean time I make a doctors appointment. Well I work for the doctor that I go to and you would think that I could get seen right away, which for the most part happens. Well not this time. I had to schedule an appointment for the 15th of April and then the doctor decided to change his schedule and I had to put my appointment off until the 21st. In the mean time Harold and I are discussing my situation and he says to me " I don't think you are listening to God " of course I say "what are you talking about I have been crying out to God for 2 weeks now and have heard nothing" well then of course Harold ( very lovingly by the way) says " I have heard you complain about your weight and how if you lost 20lbs your back would of course not have the pressure on it and would feel a lot better so why don't you go to Jenny Craig and try to lose some weight I think that is what God is trying to tell you." Well I now have been going to Jenny Craig's for a week and have lost some weight and will be continuing to lose weight and feel much better physically and mentally. It became very clear to me that I was living outside of what God has for me. He has provided a way for me to eat healthy and to get exercise and I have ignored it most of my life. I thought getting rid of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes was it, but I just traded one addiction for another. Now is the first day of the rest of my life and I want to spend it giving glory to God, listening to God, and loving God with all of my heart. I also want to thank God for giving me such a wonderful husband and partner in life that obeys God even when it is not easy. It had to be hard for Harold to speak to me about my weight, but he was very obedient to God and it will make a big difference in my life. That to me is an example of speaking out of love. I must say that if it had not been spoken out of love I would have been angry and hurt because my weight is a big area if shame in my life that the enemy has used against me for a long time. Well no more of that, God has now brought it out into the light and the enemy can no longer use it to shame me and make me feel yucky any more. So please pray for me in this area. Blessing everyone!!

The Tail of the Mighty King and Beautiful Daughter Kendra Lynn

Dedicated to her beautiful granddaughter
Kendra Lynn Lunsford


Once upon a time in the Land of Is lived a mighty King who ruled the land good and true. Now this King had a beautiful daughter named Princess Kendra Lynn. This mighty King loved his beautiful little princess with all of his heart. They would spend hours and hours talking and walking about the land of Is.

One fine morning as they were having tea Kendra Lynn’s father began to tell her of the mean troll of the land of Is Not. He warned her to beware of this troll because he was a very tricky and angry troll.

You see he once was a Handsome Prince in the land of Is, but had become power hungry and tried to turn everyone against the Good King. One day when the Good King could take no more of the Handsome Prince’s evil ways and nasty tricks the Good King turned the Handsome Prince into a troll and sent him down to the land of Is Not.
Now the troll had tricked some of the King’s followers and had them taken with him never to return to the Good land of Is.

The Good King warned his beautiful Princess Kendra Lynn to beware and not to go out of the land of Is. He then gave her guards to watch over her.

Now Kendra Lynn loved to wonder all over the land of Is even into the Outer City of Is. She became very weary of always having the guards watching over her, so she started planning how to sneak away from the guards and wonder on her own.

Princess Kendra Lynn sneaked into the secret room off of the King’s Library where he kept the Good Laws of Is. Once in the secret room she changed in to a man’s hat she had put in her bag and a pair of the King’s own britches. She took a rope off of the window curtain and put it around her waist to keep the britches on. She rolled up her beautiful dress and hid it under the good book of Is. Then escaping out the back door she headed for the woods that were not to far and where she could hide and watch the good people of the outer city of Is.

As she sat watching the town’s people she became very tired so she started to look for a place to lay her head. When she awoke it was much later and it was very dark. She could not see anything not even the outer city lights. Then came a soft voice that sounded like velvet saying Kendra Lynn this way, Kendra Lynn this way. She just knew her father the Good King of Is was calling her name so she quickly got up and headed towards the voice. All of a sudden she fell in to a deep hole sliding down, down, down until she landed in the land of Is Not.

The troll was so excited and elated that he had tricked the Good King of Is’ beautiful daughter he began to laugh and then he had a big party with all of his troll friends. He had her cast into the dungeon and there he left her.
Now the Good King of Is serched and serched for his Kendra Lynn for she had not shown up for their walk through the good city of Is. He sent out many guards to find her but to no avail.

The troll was so excited that he had finally had something of the Good King’s that he sent his followers out to the edge of the woods by the outer city of Is and told of the Princesses captrue. He then had her put into a deep sleep.

Word spread quickly about Kendra Lynn’s plight and it did not take long for the Good King to hear of the capture. He sent out the Knight that had been with him since the beginning of time.

When he had heard of the Good King’s problem and the Princesses plight the knight of Rescue came riding in on a white horse. Oh what a beautiful sight to see.

A long with the Knight Rescue came a band of Angels that went everywhere with Knight Rescue. The Good King was so excited that he told Knight Rescue that Kendra Lynn would be his bride forever and ever when Knight Rescue came back with the beautiful Princess.

The battle raged all through the night and into the next morning. Then the enemy troll was finally defeated.

The Knight had finally been able to put the trolls to rest and to start to look for the Princess Kendra Lynn. She was to be his beautiful bride.

The minute he looked at her they fell deeply in love. They had a long trip ahead of them but it was hard for Knight Rescue to take his eyes off of the beautiful Princess.

They were married and they lived happily every after in the land of is. And the Good King of Is was a very happy King.

And the angels sang.

The End

My Words to God

Be Still

Be still and know He is God
Sit quite and feel His presence

He desires an intimate
Relationship with each of us
And we are designed for and
Intimate relationship with Him

The King of Kings and
Lord of Lords is waiting on us
As we reach out to Him
He will reach out to us

Listen can you hear it
Sit quite and feel His presence
The mighty One is speaking
To our heart with care

Oh to smell His sweet presence
Oh to hear His sweet voice
Is a gift to not miss out on

The Princess of God
By Cherylynn Moore

I am a princess
I am Gods Rose of Sharon
A lily of His valley

He has me dance before Him
I delight in His joy
And He delights in mine

He supplies all my needs and
Gives me the desire of my heart
He is the lifter of my head

As I dance before His thrown of Gold
I see the King of Kings
Look at me
Our eyes meet and we become one in Spirit

So intertwined are we
That nothing else matters
I am truly His princess and
He my prince

This is more than I could ever imagine
He arises from His thrown
And as the Angels sing we dance

We float into the garden
Where He walks and talks with me
Among the roses He named after me

I am truly His princess
I am the Rose of Sharon
He is my prince
He is my King of Kings

My Will Be Yours

Oh that Your will be my will
Oh that I love as You love
May Your glory shine down upon us
May Your majesty be known to us

Seek and we will find
The splendor intertwined
Look and you will see the glory
In you and me

Rain down oh Majesty
Help us seek Your will
Through Your Holy Spirit we grasp
What you have revealed to us in the past

How can anyone not see
Your splendor all around
When in your Word you see
That is where it will be found

Glory to your name my Lord
Holy are You
Glory in Your ways oh Lord
Holy one and true

How Majestic Are You

Oh Lord how majestic
Are the mountains
You created
How beautiful are the painted
Desert to behold

Yet eternity is what I yearn for
I long to see Your face

To dance before You
And praise Your name
Is where my heart is all the same

My children and grandchildren
Are a special delight
My husband Harold is the
Wonder of my life

Yet eternity is what I long for
I long to see Your face

To walk and talk with You
To sing Your praise
Is where my heart is
All day long
