My Cancer. God's Grace. His Glory.ಮಾದರಿ

One in two women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. And one in eight will be diagnosed with breast cancer—an opportunity for God to be glorified.

Kevin and I had prayed that I wouldn't have to go through chemo. But we would have missed some of the most powerful incidences of God's grace had I not. And through the radiation which was five days a week for seven weeks, I had one opportunity after another to share the gospel. Due to the type of breast cancer, I will be on hormone therapy for 8-10 years.

Fatigue can be extreme throughout cancer treatment, increases with radiation, and continues afterward. Every month in treatment is multiplied by two. Eight months of treatment would mean sixteen months of recovery. The fatigue accentuated my human frailty but magnified God’s POWER and might. He gave me new acceptance of my weakness and contentment in His PURPOSES. His grace is sufficient. His power is made perfect in our weakness in ways we will never be able to comprehend this side of heaven.

If the grace of God during these past two years could be represented by a necklace, each of the P's would be a pearl on this strand. It was as if the Lord put this necklace of grace around my neck at the very start of this journey, and it has been with me every day since. However, I realized He gave it to me long ago at my spiritual birth. It has been through this and other trials that He has opened my eyes to see the immeasurable riches of His inheritance and enabled me to walk in His grace more than ever. My prayer will forever be that my cancer along with His grace would bring Him much glory!

PRAISE be to God.
