In July of 2018, I lost hearing in my right ear. I went to urgent care and they told me it was just allergies, and they put me on allergy medication. I went to see my doctor, and they put me on for different antibiotics, and I told them that it wasn't working and there was something bigger going on.
In August I saw an ear and nose specialist he went up in my nose and looked, and he told me it looks like it's cancer. He wanted to do the biopsy the next day.
The next day we did the biopsy, and he came back in and told me it was three times bigger than what he thought. He told me it was called nasopharyngeal cancer and I was stage 4. I started chemotherapy and radiation and went from 250 to 180 lbs in 7 months. I lost 90% of my salivary glands, and they said it could come back or it may not. Thank God I had insurance. But I felt alone from the very beginning.
I heard a sermon on Psalms 23. I was walking through my own valley of death. But God was walking with me through the whole thing. Nowhere in the Bible does it say our lives will be a bed of roses when we are with Him. But in all things, He will be with us. When we go through rough times we can dwell in the bad or we can focus on making through it.
Now I am cancer free. I still have some struggles in life. But I know I'm not alone, and God has a purpose for my life. Even if it's to give others hope that if I can make it so can you. No matter if your married or single, a parent or not, you have a reason to fight. Our life affects everyone around us. We are all warriors who have some fight. We just have to remember we are not doing it alone.
The day of my Dad’s funeral, I heard Miracle Child by Brandon Lake three times in a row on the radio! I must admit… I had turned the station because this song broke me. The next two stations I turned to had it playing as well. Now, it’s one of my favorite songs. God takes our shattered pieces and turns our ashes into beauty & allows our tests to become testimonies.
I just absolutely 💯 love Christian music. 🎶 I grew up listening to it then got away from it for awhile, but I’m sooooo glad that I get to hear it everyday now whenever I want! I might not always remember the NAME of the song or the artist (as I’m getting to be an “old timer” 😝) but I still will keep on a playing it. It’s great for the soul.
Hi! I’m Carmen, I’m 12 and going through a rough time. I have trichotillomania, a hair pulling condition and I have had it since I was 11. It has greatly affected me in my life and I have struggled with it. I sometimes wonder why I have such a hard life but I know God has a plan for my life so I praise him for everything. It’s crazy that you take things for granted like my hair. I have had to shave my hair multiple times because of it. I just thank God for everything I still have.
Hi, my name is Shelley and I'm a mother of three. I've been struggling with bad things for the last year. I lost my husband and my only sibling within 2 months of each other. I have been struggling ever since, but the last 58 days I've been clean and sober. I'm just going to say that if it wasn't for God I probably wouldn't be here now. I know my babies need me, and I just wanted to thank you guys for all your uplifting stories. I'm listening to Christian music now... I was never really into it, but I love it now. I love you all!
The biggest “God moment” I’ve had was when I was at rock bottom, and Robert shared about an article that explained why just having the courage to get out of bed on your darkest days was an act of worship. That was a major turning point for me, and I still think about that almost daily.
When my grandson was little and would come to visit from Oklahoma City, he would love to stand at my back door which was glass and look outside. He would smear his little hand prints and slobber all over it. I normally wouldn't stand for such a mess but after he would go home I always left those sweet smears and slobbers there until I knew he was coming back. Every time I looked at it, I remembered him standing there and my heart was full.
My half-sister has had mental issues her entire life and because of that, she's had to be institutionalized most of her life. This past week, while my mom was visiting with her, it was as if my sister's mind was clear for the first time in ages. My mom and her had a heart to heart conversation that my sister was fully aware of and in the moment for. It was a special gift from God for my mom to receive this moment. Almost like a glimpse of what heaven will be like.
