Keep the Faith

I want to share with everyone a website that was shared with me. It's a blog about one girls journey with stage IV Melanoma. I have pretty much read everything she has wrote and everything her husband has wrote and I'm just amazed how strong she was and how courageous she was through out the years as she battled Melanoma. I can relate to so many of the treatments she went through. The radiation, the Horrible IL2 treatments. I love the way she write about her experiences with such strength and faith. She never gave up her faith, even when she thought she couldn't do it anymore and was tired of fighting, she held on with everything she had. I've had my moments where I felt like I couldn't handle anymore and get tired of dealing with this disease every single moment of my life. Theres not a moment that goes by that I do not think about my health and wonder what the Lord has in store for my future. In her journal she talks about her scars....."Each scar represents a new and different way that God has provided for us, protected us, and showered his grace upon us."

She talks about how often she is reminded of what she is going through......"However, all too often it just takes a simple glance in the mirror to act as a reminder of the suffering we are going through. We need to learn to see our scars, bruises, and bald heads as signs of God’s faithfulness" I completely understand how she felt at those moments.

Cancer is a battle. It's a battle I plan to fight with everything I have. I fight for my family, I fight for myself, I fight for my friends. I fight this thing they call Cancer because this is MY body. I didn't give it permission to move in and take over my life. I won't let it. This is my life and I will fight like I've never fought before!!!

I hope some of you can take time to read some of her blog entires and all the wonderful scriptures she wrote. I don't personally know her but I can tell you she has touched me through her words.
