For the Breast of Us

Yesterday, I had the privilege of co-facilitating a conversation about faith, grief, and the cancer journey.

And as I prepared for it, I kept coming back to something I’ve learned through my own journey: When life felt like everything was falling apart, God showed me how the pieces were falling into place. It doesn’t mean I don’t grieve what cancer has taken from me, or that faith has made the fear, uncertainty, disappointment, or pain disappear. It means that somewhere in the middle of the mess, I began to recognize that grief and gratitude could exist together. That I could have questions and still have faith. That surrender didn’t mean giving up. That joy could still find me on hard days. And that when I couldn’t see what God was doing ahead of me, I could look behind me and remember all the places He had already carried me through. My faith looks different now. Maybe yours does too. So I wanted to share some of the reflections that have helped me navigate the seasons when I didn’t understand what God was doing. You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to pretend the hard isn’t hard. You don’t even have to see the whole road ahead. Sometimes faith is simply saying: God, I’m still here. I still trust You. Show me my next step. Where God guides, He provides💯 #forthebreastofus #breastcancerbaddies #faithovercancer #godisgood #griefandjoycoexist
