Another Monday...Really!

Good Day to you,

It is amazing how God will let you go through trials and hardships! He is our "Good Father." Those of you who have children, whether they are still living with you or all grown up and out on their own, know that your children must endure hardships if they are to grow and learn. Our Father does the same with His children... you and me. That is if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

Our Father gives his children rules to live by which is the Bible. Our parents gave us rules too. I remember when I was between the ages of 8-18, we had chores to do every Friday. My sister Glenna, who is the oldest of the five children, would write a list of chores and then assign them to us. The list looked like this:

1.  Take out the trash cans to the front yard.
2.  Pick up all the dog messes. (we had 3 dogs)
3.  Wipe down all the woodwork. (our house was built in 1903...lots of woodwork)

I could list more chores, but for the sake of room on this blog I will stop.
Glenna would write our names at the bottom of the list and place the number of the chore under our name. For example:
David
2_______
3_______
When I finished a chore, I would tell Glenna and she would inspect my work. If she was satisfied, then she would check the chore with a mark. If I completed all my chores on Friday, then I could play outside on Saturday. But, if I did not finish my chores, then I had to them on Saturday.
I learned at a young age to work hard. In fact, all five of us became hard workers.

Many times I felt like a "Slave" having to do my chores on "Clean House Friday." Now, looking back I am able to see how all those chores taught me discipline. One thing for sure, I know how to clean a house!

Our Father will allow trails and hardships as a form of discipline. He loves his children and wants them to grow in their faith. He also desires his children to love and trust him. I knew that my parents love me even though I complained about the chores.

Trust God at all times! He will leave nor forsake you!

Yup, the start of another week! 

I am alive... Glory to God

Hello,

God is everywhere! I received a phone call from a self publishing company. The call was not from Xulon Press. It was from another company. I felt the Holy Spirit urging me to call Mark. He had left a  voice mail. Mark and I had a "Divine Appointment."

I was not thinking of a divine appointment when I called Mark. Actually, I was going to tell him to stop bugging me with his phone calls. With this mindset, I called Mark. Something happened when he answered the phone. Instead of telling him to quit calling me, the Holy Spirit came over me and I was nice to him.

After informing Mark that did not have the money to self publish we started conversing. I mentioned that I'm a cancer survivor and Mark told me about his mother. She just finished her cancer treatments.

Then, I stated that I have published a book about my cancer journey. Mark wanted to know the title of my book and where he could view it. I responded, "Courage and Comfort" and it is on Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and iTunes. Remember, Mark is still at work!

He found my book and looked through the first view pages. He was extremely excited to find a book that would help him and his family understand what I went through with cancer and the treatments to cure me. Yes, Mark is going to buy my book. He is also telling as many people as possible about my book!

"Courage and Comfort" is about my cancer journey. But, I need you to understand that the book would not have been written without God! I give God all the Glory for the book and that I am sitting here alive and writing to you!

I an HIS,

David Walter Wiseman

AMEN!

A bit of this and that

Hello,

Today, Donald J.Trump was sworn in as President of the United States of America. Nancy and I watched were touched deeply by the prayers that were prayed before Mr. Trump took his pledge. Actually, the prayers throughout the day were amazing! Praise God! I will admit that I voted for Trump. I will not say anything negetive about Mr. Obama. I am thankful to have a God fearing President in the White House!

My last post came from a couple dark days I had. Do you what is awesome about Jesus? Even on my darkest days, I realize that Jesus is by my side. I have had days when physically I can not do much. Yet, I am able read the Bible and pray for people, and text my friends and family. If you are unable to do much physically, then ask Jesus what you can do to bless others?

I must admit that I like a clean house. So, on the days I am physically limited, I use to struggle with a kitchen sink full of dirty dishes. But, I have learned that the dishes will wait for me until I have the strength to do them. It is the same with the dust. Trash on the other hand will not wait. Nancy is gracious enough to take it out when she gets home from work.

I encourage you not to put so much pressure on yourself! If one of those "dark days" shows up, then seek Jesus! Last Monday I spent most to the day in bed crying out to HIM! Peaceful sleep then followed.

Jesus tells us to take one day at a time! Lets just think about that statement...are we able to do anything else? No! We cannot go back in time or go to the future. We have today. Each night when the day is done, give God the Glory for the blessings that came to you!!!

When I sat down in front of my computer, I knew I wanted to write something. I ask the Holy Spirit to assist me with writing to you. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit always inspires me to write.

May your weekend be relaxing and blessed!

!

Keep on trying!!!

The same fight!

Good Afternoon,

Have you ever received a revelation for God and the next moment you get hit with difficult circumstances? This is happening to me right now! Nancy and I went to Dana Point last weekend. We had a wonderful time. We walked so much and met so many people. God blessed our trip!

Monday, my knees hurt! The pain was like when I first hurt them ten months ago. Today has been a struggle too. I did not get out of bed until noon. I ate breakfast, sent out the verse of the day and went back to bed.

I'm writing this to you so that you will realize that we all have days like this. Pray, do what you are able to and be determined to get through the day! Even if the thought of suicide crosses your mind. Reject it in Jesus' name and that thought will flee!

It is the same fight! It is worth fighting! At the end our fight we will be in Heaven!!! So, do not give up! Keep fighting the good fight!!!!

Thank you for reading!

I AM HIS,

God, I need you every hour!

Keep On Fighting!

Greetings,

Lets get right to it! I went to the dentist yesterday and I found out that I will be losing two more teeth. I do not have the bottom right molars. They were pulled two years ago. One was infected and the other cracked. All my teeth were affected by the whole brain radiation I received as part of my cancer treatment. Twenty days of whole brain radiation also gave me seizures which I take medication every night. The hair my head will not grow back because the radiation, so I am bald for the rest of my life!

So, I will need to have four implants in the near future. God will provide. I just do not how. This is where trust in God comes in!

February 10, 2007, will mark my ten year anniversary of knowing I was sick. February 26, of the same year, I found out that I had cancer through the use of x-ray. Ten years later, I am still dealing with the side effects of "Cancer Treatment!" My Oncologist in Texas, Dr. Ralph Heaven, said to me, "David, cancer will be a part of you life for the rest of your life!" My response, "Geez, I'm only 43 years old!" Dr. Heaven was right!

Those of you out there fighting cancer do not give up! Even though I am not as healthy as I want to be, I alive!!! I have a loving wife, a grandson, and another grandson due any day. I have four daughters who are remarkable. I am so grateful to God that He is healing me day by day.
My book, "Courage and Comfort" is helping people.

I am HIS,

David Walter Wiseman

KEEP ON FIGHTING!!!

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!
