Surviving The Big C

I posted in my other blogs before that I am a cancer survivor. I wrote in my testimony of how I beat the big C with prayers and faith in God. I still remember, it was in 1996 when I was diagnosed of breast cancer. I really cried and I was so scared that I was going to die like my late mom. She died of breast cancer too when I was 16 years old so one might say that I inherited it from her. To have a cancer is like having a death sentence. Just thinking about that illness will make you cringe, how much more having it in your body. I underwent the conventional medicine to cure cancer like chemo and radiation therapy but the effects almost killed me. Now I believe that chemo will kill a patient faster that cancer itself. I cried out to God to heal me. Day and night I kept praying to Him and also I had a lot of prayer warriors. It was during that time that my faith in God went stronger. As days went by, I felt that my weak body grew stronger until I was healed of cancer. God answered my prayers, praise the Lord!

Now, every time I see those cancer awareness ribbons I can't help myself to reminisce that past chapter in my life. It's been more than 15 years since I was diagnosed of the big C and I praise God that I am still alive because of His great love and mercy towards me. He even gave me a Christian husband and both of us are now serving the Lord as missionaries in my homeland. We started a ministry and we would like to build the kingdom of God and win souls to Jesus. It's one way to give back to Him everything that He has done in our lives. To God be the glory!
