"Who Receives the Glory?" by Youth Leader Honey Bejmovicz
Just a little over 2 years ago I walked into what looked like the lowest valley of my life. On the outside it looked hopeless & painful. But for me the valley took me to the greatest spiritual awakening I have ever experienced in my life. This is just a part of my story, that I pray encourages. I pray this story becomes a knot at the end of a rope that someone is grasping on to.
My testimony actually began a few years before my valley experience, in a small Monday Night Women’s Prayer group at Trinity. Meeting with my WARRIOR SISTERS every week I learned to do battle and live life like I never had before. From prophetic words spoken - to DVD’s featuring several crazy Jesus believers I learned to stand my ground, pick up my sword & not waiver in the face of adversity. In October of 2013 I felt the Lord quicken me to see a Doctor. The night before my appointment one of my “Warrior Prayer Sisters” gave me a word that said, “You will go through the process but in the end you will find perfect healing”. I mulled over these words for quite a few days…”the process”. What did that mean Lord? A week later my sister gave something that I stood on for almost a year “The Lamb shall receive the GLORY FOR HIS SUFFERING”.
Cut to December 2013, having battled some physical pain & symptoms for months. I had a scan done in Marion, they found a fibroid in my uterus. The next day I was admitted to receive the first of 14 blood transfusions & 1 plasma transfusion. All the while I had perfect peace in the hospital rooms. Then on New Years Eve - January 1, 2014 I was admitted for an emergency hysterectomy. When the surgeon operated he found that the fibroid was the size of a small baby - almost 8 pounds. He was rather surprised and he also noticed something suspicious during surgery. A week later, during my discharge from the hospital he gave me the news I had cancer. But here’s the KICKER…remember I was told by the Lord I would go through the process and receive perfect health. He said “It was a miracle that the cancer did not go outside my muscle….it was as though it was CONTAINED.
That is just what happened. I will not say it’s fun, easy or doesn’t come with it’s challenges. But after recovering from major surgery, and many more scan’s and tests I began radiation treatments in the Spring of 2014, that was my process...and I did these every morning at 6:30am at the Cancer Center before heading to work everyday and working 50 hours a week teaching. I was told I would have a LIST (it was a big list) of side affects that I should brace myself for. I said “Nope, not gonna have those…in the end I had 1 of the side effect on a list of 30). The enemy tried to weasel his way in many times, sometime quietly almost not being recognized and other times he was LOUD AND TRYING HIS BEST TO TERRIFY ME! But all the while I clung to my knot in the end of my rope. I upset my oncologist and cancer nurses several times with my need to have quiet and prayer when they wanted me to jump on what they thought I should do. Remember HE receives the glory…not me, instead HE traded my sorrows (not able to bear children) for HIS JOY (becoming a Youth Directors wife & loving on 30 plus youth every week), my pain & hurt for HIS PERFECT HEALTH…I am cancer FREE…my anxiety and worry HIS PEACE.
Remember how I said I had walked into my lowest valley ever…..in July of 2014 I did something I had never done before. I along with my niece and 6 of her college age friends hiked an almost 6 hour hike to the top of Bain Mountain in Tennessee. I swam in a waterfall, waded in a creek & shouted at the top of my lungs to THE LAMB WHO RECEIVES GLORY FOR THE SUFFERING HE TOOK FOR ME! I still get overwhelmed by HIS LOVE and have never felt more connected to HIM than I do this day. No words, no amount of money, no grand gestures can ever repay what my LAMB did for me….but I will spend the rest of my life telling people about Him and showing people who HE IS. And to this day I continue to meet with my WARRIOR SISTERS every Monday night at Trinity…although our little group of women has grown in size and ages 18 - mature since then.J
