You won’t believe this Thanksgiving News!

How wonderful it is to share this news with you all today. Not only in honor of my parent’s 53rd wedding anniversary, which I know my mom is smiling down upon, but also in honor of this Thanksgiving season. We are living in a year, and a world, where we need hope and encouragement desperately. 

November 15th marked TEN YEARS since I was originally diagnosed with cancer. During that time so many things happened. We’ve lived in 4 different homes, learned about Billy’s oldest son and my step son, Christopher. Chris chose a wonderful bride and now we are excited to be grandparents this next March. Isaiah went from a goofy middle school boy to a respectable young man, played tons of basketball, and even more football, graduated high school and moved into a dorm in college. Alyssa grew from a little toddler to a beautiful teen. She experienced ballet and cheer, basketball, track, choir and pageantry. We’ve all dealt with Covid 19 and quarantine and been exposed and tested. We’ve experienced worry, stress and mental health issues. I went from a successful career as Director of sales calling on Walmart and Sam’s Club, to disability and now self employed. Billy went from going back to college and making the Dean’s list each semester, to a career in the Metal building industry and now self employed. We are chasing a dream and remodeling a barn for a wedding and event center on 6 acres with trees and a pond! We are so excited! 

So much life has been lived in the midst of really really hard stuff. Chemo 3 times, radiation on 5 different places, a clinical trial weekly for almost two years, so many surgeries and physical therapy and rehabilitation. Side effects from all these treatments including Auto Immune Hepatitis and Pancreatitis. Even more difficult was missed valentine’s Days, missed sporting events, missed birthdays and other holidays. Lost Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents, friends and both of our precious moms. I’m so grateful all of this was covered in tons of prayer! We’d have never made it. 

But on the first day of my ELEVENTH year of cancer I had scans and the doctor said I am in REMISSION! He said he cannot explain it, but evidence of active cancer is gone! He said it can only be described as a miracle! 

I am in shock. Billys in shock. Kids are shocked and relieved. I’ve been trying to find my words to share this and I am left with no words, just repeating what the doctor said. 

So today, as a gift to my parents on what would have been their 53rd anniversary, I honor my dad in life and my mom in death, by sharing that Jesus gave me a miracle. A miracle that both of my parents trusted God  for and asked Him for regularly. 

If you don’t know this Jesus, this God, I want to tell you about Him. For he is faithful and comforting, surprising and strong. 

How thankful I am for this good news, and for all that God has carried my family and I through for an entire decade. 

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Happy happy Thanksgiving!

    Lupus as well.Dr Itua herbal made cure my HIV and gave me hope that he can cure all types of diseases I believed him) I do the best of myself that I can do, I went for a program in west Africa about fashion on another side I was HIV positive. I walk through a nearby village for our program schedule then I found a signage notice that says Dr Itua Herbal Center then I asked my colleagues what all about this very man called Dr Itua, She told me that he's a herbal doctor and he can cure all kind of disease i walked to him and explain myself to him as I'm a strangler out there he prepared me herbal medicine and told me how to drink it for two weeks, when I get to my hotel room I take a look at it then says a prayer before I drank it not knowing after two weeks I went to test and I found out I was negative I ran to him to pay him more but he refuses and says I should share his works for me around the globe so sick people can see as well. I'm writing a lot about him this season so that is how I was cured by drinking Dr Itua herbal medicine, He's A caring man with godly heart. Well - everything I decided all go through for me well and how you're going to treat this new aspect to your life. You don't have to suffer alone, and it's okay to ask for help. It also doesn't have to be a constant demon, as you'll get to know your body and yourself in a much deeper way than most people. Take advantage of this, as it will help you appreciate Africa Herbal Made.
