"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 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 minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

Breast
Cancer
My Challenge
 
With all the information I had to gather to put this web site together, this section is the hardest. 

For those who don't know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000, at the age of 44.  It's nothing you get use to, but instead, feel blessed for your life. 

This is a struggle I wish no one has to endure, but as we realize the statistics, it continues to happen far too often.  Sadly, with more devastating effects in the black community.   

Never think you are immuned.  This disease knows no boundaries.  Instead my friends, be proactive, and get checked. 

Being told I have breast cancer has been the most frightening words I have ever heard.  I won't lie, I wish I didn't.  So now I have to learn to trust in God, he is in control, and I, like millions others, will continue to "pray for a cure."     Tina

Matthew 18:3, which says "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven,"

Unless we set aside our human pride and intellectualism, and take on the simplicity of a child, we will never see Jesus, believe in Him or enter His kingdom.


What makes a good marriage? In short, key words....
  • Trust
  • Respect
  • Loyalty
