My testimony

I am a young mummy who was diagnosed with breast cancer this year. For too long I neglected God and let too many unimportant worries bother me. Then I was diagnosed with cancer, through this journey, I was forced to lean heavily upon him, especially having to live with the unknown and a worrying scan results.

I was an emotional wreck for a few days, praying and crying for Him to speak me, wanting to hear I will be fine. I had heard from him previously, but had doubts if it was Him as I seeked out what I wanted to read. All I heard was wait patiently and leave burden with Gim. I knew it was him speaking but not what I wanted to hear. I bookmarked the webpage anyway, but did not leave my burden with him.

Over the next few days, God came to me through my sister who left me with a passage about fear and overcoming fear with faith and prayer. It related closely to a pamphlet about having faith in god with numerous passage about healing that I picked at church after my diagnoses.

Then a lady from a cancer support group called me, who prayed with me and told me to lean on him in times of fear and he will bring me through. She told me God blessed me with children and he will bless me to see them grow. ( while reading breast cancer forum here, a lady stated she had an angel sent by god who hugged her and told her it will be ok during her diagnosis and treatment, I was hoping for the same and God answered that prayer).

I was still fearful, but remember her words abt praying when I am afraid, to go God in prayer to trust and take fear away. And so I prayed, prayed for God not to test me beyond my limit, that I was sorry I did not do as I promised, that I hope for a chance to bring my kids up and show them by example to lead a godly life. And to help trust without doubt that He will heal me and give me time to teach my children to know him.

After praying, I was still scared, so I referred to the reading I bookmarked, I intentionally put as reading list on iPad as the page will jump upon refreshing. it should read..Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light...

But instead the page still jumped and i found this.. Psalm 6:9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer.

And I thank God for finally giving me the sign I needed, when I least expected it and did not ask for it in that prayer. Of course I have to stay faithful and wait upon God work his miracle, but I am at ease, at peace and thankful. I know I have to keep my end of the promise, and the cancer is a wake up signal from god. But i thank God for it, and it has changed my perspective about life and know what I want now. It's a long journey, I still have my struggles but I look forward to walking my life journey with Him. God works in mysterious ways indeed.

I pray here if you are reading that God heals each and everyone of us here, and if u also experienced God during cancer do share ur own stories

I had just completed my masters degree in nursing. I was getting ready for work when I recognized God's still small voice in my heart. "Renee, get your mammogram, NOW!" I immediately knew something was wrong. I had an appt with my provider the next week and asked her for a order to get a mammogram. I had done a self breast exam earlier and did not detect anything unusual, but I knew I needed to follow through on what I knew was God's urgent warning. 

About a week later, I was having my mammogram, by then I had decided I was probably fine and had nothing going on medically. I convinced myself, I was just being cautious and that nothing was going to be amiss. I wanted to be just fine. Deep down, I wanted God to be wrong.

Two weeks later, I got the letter. More images were needed. To make a long story short, several weeks later and one bx later, I was diagnosed with DCIS. My surgeon described the area as the size of a grain of salt. Then reality hit!! The God of the universe took time out of his day, overseeing the world, to tell me to get a mammogram. He could see what I could not. I have never felt more love than at that moment. If Creator God cares enough for me to let me know I had cancer, do I need to fear anything? Absolutely not!! 

Over the past several months, I have grown closer and closer to the Lord because of breast cancer. God loves me, this I am sure. I wouldn't trade breast cancer for a hundred cures! Getting to know an intimate God who cares is so worth anything I might have to face. Why? Because I know I will not face it alone.
