This to Shall Pass
#TeamToughCookie it has been a long time since I've provided an update and that's because the last few months have been very difficult for me. It has taken me a few months to return to myself because I have been in a very dark place. With the news of a new diagnosis and the lost of some special people, I could not find myself in a place to share with you all what I've been going through.
Last month we found out that the cancer is now in a few of my bones. They did restage me, however as a believer, I will not accept the new staging as gospel. The Lord, my God is bigger than any diagnosis. My trust is in the good Lord for healing and restoration. I see this place in my life as a journey to healing that the Lord will bring to fruition.
I know many of you will have lots of questions and will be concerned. Know that I am in good spirit, I'm in a great head space, and physically I have more good days then bad.
Here is where we are physically, my first step is to focus on 2 small spots found on my spine. Those two spots have the potential to grow and impair my ability to walk. The only options I had were major surgery or radiation therapy. As opposed I am to radiation, it was the best option for this situation. I will have 5 radiation treatments over the next 2 weeks starting today.
As my journey continues, I will get back to keeping you guys in the loop. I know that the Lord has a plan for this journey. I still don't know what it's purpose, but I am grateful that in this place, I have a relationship with Him, which helps me to remember that He is in control and that He can do anything but fail. I stand on my favorite scripture, "In ALL things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and have been called according to His purpose," (Romans 8:28)
I am going to continue to solicit your love, support, and prayers for me and my family. I love you guys!!!!
