#healingthroughfaith

"Healing through faith" is a state of being that you must strive for throughout your existence. The concept of it is to identify your wound, uncover it, provide the proper treatment, forgive, and move on.

Getting Started

The pain is there. At times, it feels as though nothing else matters. How do you move pass your pain to desire a more fulfilling life? The answer lies behind your faith. Do you have enough faith to believe that God has better things in store for you? Do you understand the magnitude of His love for you? If you have any inclining as to how much He loves you, you can embrace that love and push forward. Pushing forward is what helps to get you through the heartache. God's promise is to give you peace and joy. Your faith in God helps you get to the joy that He promises you.

Day 171 - 3/29/19

Two days after surgery, and I'm still taking pain medication regularly. That's not surprising. As much as I want to start weaning myself off of the medications, I also don't want to be in a lot of pain... So I'm just going to keep taking them until the pain is a little bit more manageable. :) The drain under my arm is still needing to be tended to regularly. I'm thankful that my daughter is taking care of it, so I don't have to worry about it. I've been sleeping quite a bit o

Back to work tomorrow! I know it sounds crazy... And I NEVER thought I would be saying this... But... I'm glad to be back to work tomorrow. I can honestly say I understand why, if it's possible, cancer patients should continue to work, if they can. It is so easy to get discouraged and focus on worrying when you have nothing to think about, other than your sickness. When you're alone with your thoughts, your mind goes all over the place, and it can land in some very unproducti

Day 148 - 3/6/19

Today is my husband and my 9th wedding anniversary. We normally go out and have a fancy dinner to celebrate, but we were skeptical about doing that this year because of my taste buds not being back yet. At the last minute, we decided to go ahead and keep the custom going. We normally have a GREAT steak, but because I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to enjoy it, I asked him to find a really good seafood restaurant. Over the last few weeks I have had a little luck tasting seafood. I

Day 140-2/26/19

I’m still celebrating the news from yesterday. This has been an amazing journey. Through the ups and downs of my emotions, God has shown up through every step to confirm himself to me. When my faith wavers—even a little bit—He reminds me of whose I am—HIS! Through all of my celebration though, I am feeling the side-effects of yesterday’s shot harder than I have in the past. The pains are there stronger, and the fatigue is stronger also. After the smallest amount of activity,

Day 139 - 2/25/19

I have an appointment today to have my labs drawn. I’m preparing myself for the inevitable shot that comes with these labs because of my white-blood counts being low. I’ve already been forewarned that I will probably have to get the shot today because of the surgery coming up soon. We don’t want any delays because of the low counts. On my way to the appointment, I get the phone call with the results of my MRI. In my breast, there is NO TRACEABLE CANCER. YESSSSSSS!!!! The chem

Day 85 - 1/2/19

I decided many years ago that I would stop making a “New Year’s Resolution”. I decided this because I never kept them, and I usually felt guilty about not keeping them. Although I understand the purpose of setting them, it defeats the purpose if they are broken within the 1st month. So to avoid disappointing myself each year, I just stopped setting them. So today I am not declaring a New Year’s Resolution, but I have, however, come to what I am going to call, an Awakening. Pr
