Exactly 2 years ago today, as I sat in an examining room with Mike by my side, the Dr. came in and said those words...its cancer. This sent our hearts & minds in a tailspin with all the what ifs, but as I lay in bed at DeKalb Medical that night, something came over me and when I arose the next morning, my mind was clear, I was at peace and determined with Christ on my side and the support of Mike, Shauntel, AleeSha, Anslees love, my siblings and some friends, I was ready to give this the best fight I could! Prior to my start of chemo, God brought me to New Commandment Christian Church where my family extended and support strengthened. It wasnt easy, but God was with us all the way. There were plenty who started the journey with us, but only a few remained throughout the fight and for that my family and I thank you all so much. None of us know what turn our lives may suddenly take, but one thing for sure, God WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO GO THROUGH IT ALONE! Even in those times you cant imagine God being in the midst of something so devastating, Hes there! The old phrase put up or shut up became relevant to me. I could trust God at His word and hold it in my heart as I put up these fist and FIGHT with all my might or take the lot I was given, go into pity mode, let fear ride my mind and shut up with no fight! The latter was not an option because Gods word says I am more than a conqueror! After 9 months of chemo, double mastectomy, and radiation....by the grace of God, two years to the date....I am still here and my status is NED...NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE! All glory goes to God and daily I thank Him as I continue to strive to get healthier! Lesson for someone reading this.....even though it looks dark, You can find that light by surrendering to Him! Breathe................
