In December of 2007 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had no idea of how amazing the journey would be, but I'm so happy I can share a little bit of it.
The confirmation came on December 27, 2007. I was pretty sure I had cancer so I wasn't all too shocked to hear the words, "you have breast cancer", but I did cry. I mean, it's not like I wanted it. Plus I have two young sons.
I quickly collected myself and began to pray. I knew that I wasn't alone and that God would continue to be with me, no matter what I went through. From chemo to the mastectomy to radiation and currently recovering from reconstructive surgery, I have been surrounded by so much love. My family, friends and those I don't even know, have kept me in their prayers, some daily, and it has made a huge difference. I was never afraid, I never lost my joy, because I knew and still know that God loves me and He is way ahead of me. He's preparing my way and He's always by my side.
I have made new friends, some from the hospital, some from participating in a walk and others online. I can truly say that my breast cancer was a blessing and I hope that because of my experience, God will use me to be of a blessing to others.
Remember, God is bigger than Cancer! He's bigger than any problem we could ever have.
Zephaniah 3:17 For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.
