It is written

I (Jenny) wanted to share some of my personal journey through this time.
because we work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.
I got saved, Gods love bought me to Jesus, the day before my 19th birthday in 1971. Jesus has been the love of my life since then, I have trusted him all my life. during the 40 years as a Christian i have had divine healing in my body, and also have walked with God through ill health. When this flu hit me a few weeks ago, I did what i always do, asked God for healing.
Two things stand out; The scripture I always use,' by his stripes I am healed because I believe in the finished work of the cross (as per Psalm 103), I felt the Lord say to me to put in front of it
'It is written'
The other thing that happened is i dragged myself to the computer to do some business work and the phone rang, it was Canteen, selling canteen Christmas cards and i felt to support them because the bible tells us without works faith is dead. I also did this to sow into my healing of the flu and then i prayed for the healing of my flu. Interestingly enough when I was transferred from North Shore hospital to Auckland hospital in the ambulance, the first building i saw was the Canteen building, I was reminded about the promise that I had talked to the Lord for my healing.

The whole thing has happened very quickly, I don't feel any fear - nothing can separate me from Gods Love.
The first night in North Shore Hospital, not knowing I had advanced Lung Cancer, I was very sick with pneumonia. That Friday night I was praying and felt God give me a picture of me as a baby, I was with God the Father and Jesus, in their arms, I felt their love for me, amazingly strong. On the Saturday night I had another God picture and Jesus was carrying me around in his arms as a toddler, showing me trees, fruit and laughing with me. From these two pictures i felt a peace about having a childlike faith with the Father and to trust them.
On Monday when I had my CT scan( I did not want to look at CT scan, i wanted to keep an image of healing not sickness) the doctors found out I had lung cancer, I was not expecting it at all. I felt very safe in God, I was in a state of shock, but i knew I could trust the Lord.
Still very ill with vomiting and difficulty breathing, as the week continued the news got worse, but my spirit was still responding to that safe place in God. The doctors were basically sending me home with months to live at North Shore hospital and then when i was transferred to Auckland Oncology they said get your affairs in order over the weekend, because it may be all the time you have. Immediately after the Doctor told us this, Myself, Lindsay, Asher and Abi prayed faith and hope into the dire situation. I felt so amazing, Gos was there with his peace and Love, what i found interesting is that night i woke up and was saying to the Lord, 'When I'm healed i will go and speak about my healing and write the testimony in a booklet, I then realised what God was doing was giving me a hope and future. God was restoring a hope and future to me.
Some days are really hard some are easy, but still i have peace and am thankful for your prayers and appreciate the love from everybody.
