How do you know what's a sign from God? So, you know, I've started taking these cold baths to try to shrink the size of my thyroid cancer. Currently 2.2 cm. If it's below 2 cm, they can basically go in and burn it out. But at this point, no um place in the United States will do that because it's over the policy and it could damage other parts of my body like uh my vocal cords, my esophagus, all that stuff. So, I'm like what do I do? I was like, "Lord, I know I'm sick. Like should I continue to be able to take cold plunges to try to, you know, reduce the size of my thyroid cancer? If you don't want me to do it, you know, block me like or just give me some type of sign." And then it broke. It needed to have like the air recirculated. And so, it's working now and it's getting colder. Before that, I was like, "All right, Lord, I guess there's just no way that I could cold plunge right now. I know that you want me to continue to talk to our friends online, share with them the journey of what you're doing. So, I guess I'll pause on cold plunges." Well, I had these headaches that started to appear. I don't get headaches like at all. But uh you know, I had the flu a couple of days ago and that lingered for a little bit. I didn't assume it was the flu. I had the chills, body aches, that whole thing. And then um the sniffles. But then the sniffles lingered and then it got worse. So, two nights ago, before I was going to bed, I had this massive headache right here. Um it started with my eye, but then it progressed here and I could not do anything about it. I don't get headaches, remember? So, I you know, took a shower and then eventually the sinuses and stuff cleared, but the next morning I woke up and it was back and then took some Tylenol, it disappeared, came back that night, and then it came like full force. Here, here, top of my head, back of my neck. I'm like, "What what is happening?" I honestly thought like is the cancer spreading? Is like should I go to the emergency room? What is happening right now?" I was freaking out. I'm like, "God, is this What are you trying to tell me?" I prayed and I laid down and I relaxed. I'm like, "God, what do you want me to do about this?" And I just kind of felt this peace. So, I went to sleep and I slept for guys, 9, 10 hours. Woke up feeling rested, the headache was gone, but I still went to the doctor. And the doctor looked at me in they're like, "Yeah, you got a sinus infection, like a really bad sinus infection. You need to take some medicine." So, they get me antibiotics and get rid of it and so, I'm going to do that and then I'm going to do the, you know, the 3-day fast and I'm going to get back in this water tank tomorrow. But, how do you know though? Is it God or not? I personally try to go to scripture, I try to ask the Holy Spirit, I try to consult my friends and also just pray about it, but often it's like, I use that verse Colossians 3:17, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." I don't know if it's you, God, but I want to do this in a way that honors you and brings glory to you. So, I'm going to I'm going to take a step forward because it feels like it aligns. I don't know for sure, but if you want me to stop, like, you stop me. Um, I'm not trying to do it anything against you. I'm just trying to take the best step that's available to me right now. So, I'd love to hear that answer for you. What do you What do you do when you don't know if it it's from God or not? I'd love to hear. God, I pray that you bless my friends today. Give us strength, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding whatever we're facing. Give us peace today, too. Allow us to walk in faith, trusting you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. God bless you, friends.
