Jesus is my Lord & Savior

It's Saturday!

I just got back from having lunch with our pastor. Pastor Bob and I talked and ate and talked. When he dropped me off at home, he handed me a white envelop and said,"This is from the church family." We prayed together in the car. I sat down at the dinning room table and opened the envelop. There was a check. A very generous amount!

Nancy & I have been praying to God about our lack of money. Food, gasoline, and bills that we could not pay and now we are able to with quite a bit left over! Praise God!!!

I am writing to you about this because we all have times in our lives that are difficult. Whether it is health, financial, emotional, or spiritual. God answers prayers! 

Today I am 8 years Cancer Free! God is the One who saved me from cancer. Today is a bitter sweet day for me too. Three years ago, my Dad passed on my five year cancer free day. 

If you do not know Jesus as your Lord & Savior please do not wait any longer. Pray and ask Him into your heart! It is the best decision you will ever make! If you do not know what to say try this, "Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. Please come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior." Then, find someone you know who is a Christian and tell them that you have accepted Jesus as your Savior. They should be joyful and help you start your new life!

I accepted Jesus at 12 years old. Jesus is always with me! He will be with too!

I am HIS,

David Walter Wiseman

So very true!

A Happy and Blessed New Year!

Hello,

     I hope your Christmas was happy and blessed! Now, it's 2017! How times flies by is amazing to me! I remember when I was twenty-five years old and calculating how old I would be in the year 2020. I will be fifty-seven years old in 2020. 
     My Dad use to say to me, "David, I look in the mirror and wonder who that is looking back at me?" I am starting to think the same thing. I would like to say that I do not feel 53 years old, but my body reminds me that I am. 
     I played football at San Gorgornio High School in San Bernardino, California. I played college football at Azusa Pacific University in Azusa, California. My position on the team was offensive line man. I was one of the players that moved the other team's player out of the way for our running back to score a touchdown. I hope you understand what I just explained.
     I mention this because American Football is a brutal game. As an Offensive Lineman, I hit the other team's player on every play. I have fond memories of sitting on my couch after the football game and being so sore...like being in a car accident every Saturday! I guess you could say that I loved pain.
    After playing football, I coached High School Football for 13 years. I was a "hands on" coach. When teaching the offensive line how to block, I would physically show the lineman how it should be done. Needless to say, my body has been beat up for many years. Oh yeah, include weight lifting since I was 15 years old.
    Now, let's add all I went with the cancer treatments and that's why by body lets me know quite often that I am 53 years old!
    Just to let you know, the shots in my knees did not work! As I am writing to you today, my knees are hurting. I have pain on the inside of my right knee and in the middle of my left knee.
    The only reason that I am alive is because God has saved me all my life. I might blog about my past or I might not. I am so thankful I accepted Jesus has my Savior when I was 12 years old! He has been and is always with me everyday of my life!!! I encourage you to seek Jesus and make that decision to let Him be your Savior! You will so blessed if you do!!!
    I do enjoy watching football on television. I have all this football knowledge and do not what to do with it...maybe I will write a book!

    I enjoy sharing my life with you! If you have any prayer requests, please do not hesitate to leave a comment. Nancy & I will pray for you!

    I am His, David Walter Wiseman

Charlie and I love God & Football!

God is always with us!

Good Afternoon,

Yesterday, Nancy & I went to get the shots in my knees. One shot in my left knee and one in the right knee. Oh my, the shots were painful! Thank God the shots didn't take but 15 seconds each. Yet, when I got off the table, the pain was sever. I had to walk to the elevator and then stand and wait for Nancy to get the car. I felt like I was 100 years old. Taking little and bent over, I sat down in the car.

I needed to eat something before I could take a pain pill. We stopped at Starbucks and bought coffee and a small treat. Wow, I needed that pain pill!

Today, I am feeling better. I still have pain in my knees. Yet, God is teaching me to trust Him even when I do not understand. Proverbs 3;5-6 states, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

Palm 118:17-18 states,"I am not dead but alive. I will proclaim what the Lord has done (17). He disciplined me severely but He did not give me over to death."  These two verses have given me comfort through my cancer battle. I will be eight years cancer free on January, 7th 2017. I on February 10th 2017, ten years ago, I knew I was sick. March 12th next year is ten year mark of starting my cancer treatments.

On the brighter side, I met Nancy on Christian Mingle in February of 2009. Yes, one month after I got the phone from Nurse Peggy telling me,"David we don't need you anymore!" I replied, "What does that mean?" She told me,"David you are cancer free!" I do not even remember what I said after hearing such wonderful news! Nancy and I got engaged in May 2009. We were got married the following February. We will celebrate eight years of knowing each other and seven years of marriage nex
t year.

Thanks again for reading my blogs!

I am His,

God is up there right?

It's a wonderful time of year!

Good afternoon,

It's the day after Christmas and I hope and pray your celebration of Christ's birthday was wonderful! Nancy & I celebrated with her family yesterday. Her older brother Chris and his family drove down from Washington State. Nancy's younger brother Joey and his family drove down from Las Vegas. It was a great day and night! Gifts were given and received. 

My expectation was low as far as receiving gifts. Thank you God because I received several gifts! My favorite football team is the L.A. Rams. They have been my team since I was ten years old. Nancy gave me a Rams scarf, hat, and bennie. Then my Father-in-law and Mother-in-law gave a Rams blanket and a Rams portable chair. My brother-in-law gave me another Rams bennie. The last gift was two tickets to the Rams vs the Cardinals this coming Sunday. The game is at the L.A. Coliseum.

Nancy gave me a "Dr. Stanley Bible." This bible is the most precious gift of them all! Yes, I am delighted with all my other gifts, yet they will wear out and the football game will come and go. But the Word of the Lord will be with me as long as I live on this earth😇

I hope and pray that you feel the same way about your bible! 

I truly wish you a Happy and Blessed New Year!!!

I am HIS,

David Walter Wiseman


It's a wonderful time of year!

Surprise

Hi,

I'm here again because so many wonderful things are happening lately. Isn't great when you hear from  friends from your childhood? Last night, while on Face Book, I was contacted by Doug. We grew up together and I have not heard from him in thirty-five years!

Then, a former student of mine named Salvador sent a message through Face Book and asked if I was his teacher from middle school? Yes, I was, I have not heard from him since 1993! Salvador graduated from high school and is now attending college. I am so proud of him! He grew up in the tough part of San Bernardino, California.

I coached football at Arrowhead Christian Academy of nine years. Well, two of my former player are now friends of mine on Face Book! Dan and Allan were great offensive/defensive line man. I am so proud of two young men!

One more, while on Face Book, (just so you know, I have not been on my Face Book page for two months), I found Julie. She is the wife of Liton. Liton and I used to teach at Arrowview Middle School in San Bernardino, California. I taught Alternative Studies and Liton taught the Opportunity Program. Our classrooms were next to each other. He was in room A-3 and I was in room A-4. We became good friends. Liton called me this morning and it was wonderful to hear from him!

God is able to surprise you in so many ways! I am so happy to have these five men back in my life! Continue to trust and obey God and He will reward you!


In HIS HANDS,

David Walter Wiseman
Thank God for good friends!

The Main Purpose

Hi,

Today, I would like to remind you that my book,"Courage and Comfort...How a wise man walked through the valley of cancer and strokes" is available to purchase on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and iTunes.

On my last post, I mentioned how amazed I am that so many people from around the world are reading my blogs. For this reason, I gave you the websites to buy my book. Now, that is not the main purpose of my blog...just to be clear. The main purpose is to be obedient to God and share my experiences with you. God is faithful and He will never leave you!

I am humbled by the number of people reading my blog! I'm also encouraged by you to blog more often. As you know, I have been waiting to receive shots in my knees. These shots would relieve my pain for three months up to eighteen months. Wow, pain free for a while would be wonderful. But there as been a delay because of computer malfunction. I just found this
out about 30 minutes ago. God's timing is always perfect!!!

So, hurry over to one of those websites I mentioned and buy my book! I pray that you will be blessed reading it and I will be blessed knowing you are reading my journey through cancer.

January 7th 2017, I will be 8 years Cancer Free!!! Praise the LORD!!!

Gratefully His,

David Walter Wiseman


May your Christmas be Glorious!

May God Richly Bless you today!

Greetings to you,

I am amazed how God is using my blog! I want encourage you to continue to seek Jesus Christ wherever you live. God has created all of us no matter the color of our skin. God loves all people and He wants everyone to come to Him and except the free gift of salvation. Thank you Jesus for being obedient to your Father, even to dying on the Cross! Jesus took our sins, past, present, and future which makes it possible for all believers to gain access to Heaven! Praise the Lord!

Today is Sunday and I was unable to attend church. The reason is because yesterday Nancy & I went to the Wiseman's Christmas Party. The party was at my Mother's house. My Mother lives about an hour and a half drive away. It was a great party! I did all the driving. I love to drive whenever we travel. Also, I was on my feet quite a bit at the party. So, when I awoke this morning my knees greeted me with pain!

God has a way to "Work everything for good to those who love Him" (Romans 8:28). Nancy went over this morning and talked with her Mother and they were both blessed afterwards. I had time to read the Bible. Now, I'm writing to you. God is good all the time!!!

I am beginning to understand what God wants from me. If you are suffering right now and you do not know why God is allowing all this pain in your life, trust God and obey Him and in His timing He will reveal to you why! To follow Jesus in this world is difficult, but the rewards we will receive is far greater than the pain we are enduring! Matthew 6:33, Jesus encourages us, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these thing will be given to you as well."

Read the Bible daily! I promise that the Word will bless you and keep you everyday!

May God Bless you Richly today,

In His Grip,

David Walter Wiseman
AMEN!
