How Cancer Turned Me into a Scripture Word Warrior
Three years ago, when my daughter was only 4 months old, I was diagnosed with cancer. After an invasive surgery and radiation, I was wiped out. Just when I thought I was beginning to catch my breath, we found out I was pregnant with my son. Nine challenging months followed until our perfect and healthy baby boy was born. Still fighting the cancer, learning to be a mom and wife while also working full-time just about killed me. I was worn out mentally and physically and needed relief. Though I’ve always referenced my bible, it took on a whole knew importance as I clung to each word for life and energy to get through the next day. Sweet friends, the Word of God truly is life-giving and health to our bones. We need it every single day. So I decided I did not walk through fire to smell like smoke. I had to go through hell because God was going show the beauty he makes from ashes.
My husband and I chose to put powerful scriptures all around our home to help keep our heads on straight and hearts centered on God. Especially with the chaos of two toddlers and life going on around us. It was a GAME CHANGER. It changed the way we handle situations, how we interact with others, how we treat one another, and most importantly strengthened our Faith.
After quitting my dependable job because I felt God was calling me to something new, I have spent 2020 seeking new opportunities and passions where I can encourage and empower others. Which is how we are to this point and are launching Word Warriors. A business founded on the purpose to use the Word of God to fight all of our battles, big or small. To work to put scripture on everyday items to remind you or your loved one that you are a mighty warrior who cannot be defeated with God at your side. Whether it is cancer, anxiety, depression, grief, or any uncertainties – You are not alone and you are not defenseless. This is how you fight your battles. You are a Word Warrior!
