Cancer's not ALL bad!

A breast cancer diagnosis is devastating for the patient, her families and friends.
But, I'm an almost 2 yr survivor here to say that cancer's not all bad.
When you get news like this the ENEMY tries to make you doubt your God. But, after a few scary days following my diagnosis, a friend directed me to the book of Matthew... the part that reminded me that I have a God who can MOVE MOUNTAINS! Reading and re-reading that helped get me into God's holy word. I did intense bible studies on the names of God and discovered Jehovah Repheka....THE GOD WHO HEALS! I did other studies on strength and prayer. I immersed myself in God. I couldn't get enough of him or his words....his promises! From the day of my biopsy, where I took a Christian music CD and headphones, amazing things started happening. One of the nurses in the room asked what I brought. I told her. After a brief quiet moment, the room was BUZZING with talk of God, Christ, Women of Faith and more. I KNEW at that moment that I was in the Right place. All the hands from that moment on in my cancer journey were HEALING HANDS! The outpouring of care and love from my community was amazing, too. Relationships grew deeper. The small stuff no longer matters. God had a plan and through breast cancer He made it happen! I am now a licensed and ordained Chaplain and am beginning a ministry with newly diagnosed cancer patients. I have learned that God always keeps his promises and his plan will always be fulfilled!
