DIAGNOSIS

I am an amateur writer so please bear with my writing capabilities, I strongly believe that I am being called to share my story and updates of what’s going on in my life and with my relationship w/ Christ.
On October 14, 2016 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. For those of you who didn’t know I apologize for not telling you my self. It’s been very difficult for us to swallow and thank God we are passed the shock phase. It took us a while to wrap our heads around it. It was a challenge telling my family, telling my friends and co-workers because it broke my heart to see their pain for me.
I’m grateful for my family especially my husband Kevin who’s been my rock and my big source of strength next to God. My mom has been a great help around the house. My in-laws and my brother-in-law, sister-in-law whose been fasting and praying for me. My dear friend’s who has guaranteed me help when I need it and just talking to me and praying with me throughout this new season. I have a wonderful workplace and great co-workers/sisters who are very supportive and loving. Wow, I just realized how many people- brothers & sisters God blessed me with.
I created this page to give updates and also in hope that this will encourage someone and let them know that God is good all the time, even in the midst of the “what in the worlds” and “why me’s”.
I also want to ask for prayers for me and my family, I don’t deny that this has been a very difficult experience and it’s still happening so I ask my brothers and sisters to lift me and my family up in prayer.
I will be sharing FAQs and “The hand of God” moments on a later post. Feel free to post bible verses and prayers on this page.
I love you all. I encourage you today that whatever mountain you are facing to fix your eyes on God. Let go and let God.

THANKSGIVING

There are so many ideas that comes to mind once the Month of October hits. I think of what crafts I should make, what food I should cook for Thanksgiving, and I also start planning on what to buy for presents. November is the start of Holiday events, in short it starts to get busy. But how many times do we sit still, welcome God's presence and just give thanks to Him that we made it this far this year? As I reflect on the past few years, I realize how much I have focused on "preparing" for the Holiday season. Being busy trying get everything set up became an "idol". I focused too much on making sure that the menu is perfect and the decorations are on point. Thanksgiving Day is not even something that I grew up celebrating, but it consumed so much of my time that I forgot the real meaning of it. What does it mean anyway? Wikipedia says that it is celebrated as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. T...

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Image
Life is like a dance to me, there's a lot of different rhythm, beat, type of dancer and type of music.  Dance= Life Dancer= Person Music= Circumstance Rhythm and beat= How a person is dealing with the situation. My music right now is a sad slow sleepy cringy and makes you want to cover your ear type of jam.  My Rhythm is slow at first but now getting to a point where I want to break it down and do some Zumba moves because I'm tired of listening to the sad and slow music. What I am trying to say is it has been a tough and discouraging week for me. My miracle medicine (Tarceva) has some nasty side effects and my body is paying for it. I took it for 7 days and had to stop because I had no energy, my stomach was unstable, and the worse part is mouth sores and angry pustules/rashes all over my face. I get that there are some great effects that this modern medicine can do about my cancer, But I questioned at what cost? I missed a whole week from work because I ...

Fear is a Liar

It’s been a while since I posted a blog. Mainly because we’ve been busy moving in to our new home which is a blessing on it’s own, we also renovated the kitchen, Connor started going to a new school, teaching him how to drive, and so on. In short, Life happens. But if you notice, these are all good things so why did I dragged my feet writing another blog? FEAR. My scan from 3 months ago showed that I have no sign of tumors. It doesn’t mean that I am technically cancer free because I carry a gene that is broken. I started re-taking my oral chemo which has been problematic because of all the side effects. My oncologist and I decided to pause the intake until they can find a better solution, another pill to take with manageable side effects. Fear and anxiety creeps in every once in a while, I try to nip it in the butt as soon as I recognize it but I’m not always successful. Mind is such a powerful part of a human body. It can lead someone to greatness, mediocrity or destruction. ...
