one of my favorite Bible verses is psalm 23! and what i’ve come to realize is that i have actually been living in that valley for over seven years now! for me to just go on and say that “God is good!” is definitely a euphemism that comes no where nearer to my point! i’d be lying if i told you that as soon as i was diagnosed that i wasn’t scared and crying my eyes out! i most unquestionably traveled the 5 stages of grief too! but after that first summer… about 3 months into my chemo poisoning, i had an epiphany that changed my life! i recognized the fact that God, and only God can make that decision! for statistics stated that i had between 6 and 11 months left of life! so here i am in the first quarter of my eighth year! damn! for anyone who is out there suffering and thinking that your diagnosis is a certain death sentence, i beg to differ! when your back is against the wall you must recognize and remember that you must persevere! you have to take control of your life! cancer’s scary but you must not be afraid! we get cancer because of our own choices! once you have that thought, that belief in your mind… you have to remember that only through unbending faith can you travel through the valley unscathed! so keep this always in the forefront of your mind! you must believe and know that you are already healed! we really don’t realize this power we have at our fingertips, so to speak! our minds! and if you work out and change your diet, you will see what happens! take it from someone that’s already living down in that valley! unbending faith and belief in our Creator! you won’t go wrong!
Peace and blessings!
