This is my story...

On July 21, 2000 I was diagnosed with cancer and my life changed forever. This site was created to tell others about what God has done in my life...

Today I was trying to remember what my life was like before I got sick, I couldn't. I can't remember not knowing what I know today. I can't remember the innocents that I had. Going through nursing school I have been forced to face my fears about cancer. For so long I have tried to forget, and have been very successful, about what I went through. Lately though I have been taking care of patients that have cancer which has brought to the surface a lot of emotions I have tried to bury. For a while I looked at it as a bad thing, I told myself to just get through it and then I can forget again. But I can't, I have to stop forgetting. The one thing that my family and I wanted to see when I was sick was someone that had beat cancer and was going on with their life, without fear. I realize now that I can be that person and I pray that God continues to give me the strength to do it. I don't want to let what I have been through go to waste. I live for those that did not, and starting now I promise to live boldly. I'm not content anymore to just float through life, because my survival has come at too high a price to do that. I believe that my Lord is a sovereign God, and that this was his will for me, so I intend to use it to bring the most glory to him that it can.

Exodus 14:14 says "I will fight for you; you need only be still." No matter what you are going through, remember to just be still, God's grace is more than enough to do the rest...
