Celebrating The Moment
On this date, September 22, 2023, I stand in gratitude for what the Lord has done. Three years ago on September 22, 2020, I found myself in the middle of a breast cancer diagnosis and battle for healing. I was about one month into chemotherapy after having lost my husband in April 2020 and my mom in February 2020.
My world was in upheaval, yet God was so faithful. One year ago today, September 22, 2022. I was just starting 28 radiation treatments to finish my cancer treatment journey.
Today, September 22, 2023, I am in St. Louis, Missouri, co-hosting our fourth Unfold.Bloom.Burst Christian Writers Conference with my friend, Rachel Dolcine.
I am halfway across the country from my home. I have health. I have life. I have joy…and God isn’t finished yet. The best is yet to come. He has turned my mourning into dancing and written a new story – a story where illness does not define me. The pen is in my heavenly Father’s hand, and He only writes bestsellers.
