Hard Truths

There are some hard truths many of us have had to face during this past year. Feelings and emotions we have hidden until now! Besides the cancer journey this year, I have had to deal with racial inequality and unrest, political clamor, and a pandemic that was and still is unforgiving and non-discriminatory. My writing, has taken a back seat…not forgotten…not motivated…not wanting to think! Think about ALL of these feelings and emotions AND cancer.

Although in remission, there are still health maintenance that needs attention; mammograms, MRIs, bone scans, ultrasounds, bloodwork, pap smears, colonoscopies, you get the idea. The pandemic has changed how we move, how we think, how we schedule doctor appointments and how we care for ourselves. The hard truth, we have to do more. I know many of you have missed appointments out of fear, anxiety, or even mistrust. I completely understand…I am one of you! I have decided to put my faith over fear and schedule my appointments. I am not too far out, but I have to make sure I get back on track to good health. I trust God and know that EVERYTHING that has been placed before us is in a divine plan.

Storms come to test the foundation. Are you grounded? How committed are you to move forward this year? Sometimes, you will have to face the hard truths and be still while God works. God is digging you down so he can build you up and prepare you for greatness. He’s giving you a new path in your health and your wealth both emotionally and spiritually. Prepare yourself and be ready for God who is working on you, your family, and your relationships in this new year.

He sees the unrest, the anxiety, the political discourse and he is waiting for you to ground your feet in him and remember YOUR personal journey! My cancer journey has NOT taken a break because the world is in uncertainty. It is all the more reason to leave last year behind, bring the lessons forward, and use them to make this year count!
