NEVER GIVE UP!

Just because you have been diagnosed with cancer, doesn’t mean that you should be labeled as a cancer patient. Who were you before your diagnosis? You are still that same person. You may have changed since your diagnosis because cancer does change all of us, and hopefully for the better! It’s who you are deep down inside that really counts.

Before my diagnosis, I was an ordinary person like everyone else. I had a job and a family. My husband and I were planning our daughter’s wedding, buying a car, and planning a vacation. I was in the prime of my life. I had no idea that I was even sick, not to mention, that I was now someone with cancer. I was busy and loving every minute of it!

Too often, when you hear that someone has cancer, it seems to define who they are and their destiny. We get so caught up in the disease that it’s easy to forget they are real people like everyone else. They still have the same hopes and dreams as they did before the initial diagnosis. And yes; They have dreams for their future.

We are all on this same journey called life. No one knows what may lie ahead for them from one day to the next. It’s easy to shrink back from being that person you have always been after the diagnosis. You may fear you will never feel good again, or that you might never get back to who you were before the diagnosis. That’s not true.
The best advice I can give anyone is to keep on going. Reach out for God’s hand and he will bring you safely through into the place he has for you. He will order your steps even when you’re unsure of that next step. Hold tightly to his hand, take a deep breath and learn to enjoy the ride.

If you have been diagnosed with cancer or even if you are troubled in any way, don’t give up on your dreams. Don’t live out your life like you are in an empty shell with no feelings. You are still that same person you were before the trial you are going through, on the inside. Get your hope back. Let God breathe life back into your spirit.

PSALM 46: 1-2
God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas.
