Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He Gave Me Beauty for Ashes (Isaiah 61:3) Olayinka Akingbade A Journal on my Triumph Over Breast Cancer This journal was written as part of the healing process during my battle with cancer, and as an inspiration to others. I am not an experienced writer; however, jotting everything down along the way, not knowing how it was all going to end, seemed adventurous for me. Encouraged to write by my niece Dr. Omolara Thomas Uwemedimo and my friend Natalie James while I was sick, I did not realize how effective and helpful this journal was going to be. Some of the proceeds of the sale of this book will go to support the American Cancer Society, in the hopes that more patients may be placed on Abraxane, the chemotherapy medication which helped so much during my recovery process, that, although seemingly inescapable, I did not need to have a Mastectomy after all! THE PAINS AND THE SORROW While composing this work, I recalled certain feelings that I experienced but had not included in the journal: The very first time I received chemotherapy, I felt weak, nauseated, and quite aggravated from the pain on my chest. My doctor had warned me that this was going to be very strong chemotherapy, and my heart had to be strong in order to withstand it. I vomited several times, and almost vomited on my visitors! And there were times when the pain was so strong, it would hurt if I cried or laughed. Any movement was excruciatingly painful; all I could bear was to lie down on my side. I just wanted to be left alone. In fact, I remember instructing my older son I did not want to speak to anyone, including “Big Mommy”, (the term of endearment my son had given to my sister Abosede Thomas, his Godmother). She had traveled from New York to Florida with her friend Yvonne Charles within 72 hours of hearing that I was admitted to the hospital, diagnosed with breast cancer. Being a competent nurse, she did nothing but shower me with care, yet I felt annoyed with all the attention. I recall her asking me if I was going through depression . . . I’m sure I was. I also remember sending away my friend Lourdes and my niece Oyinlola, who also came from New York to assist me, telling them I just wanted to be left alone. I now realize all these feelings of pain, despair, sorrow and loneliness are side effects of the chemotherapy. There were moments of confusion when I was not really sure what God was up to in all of this. Even though I trusted God knowing He’s in control and on the Throne, I still had many questions without answers, wondering what this was all about and how I was going to come out of it. There were times when fear came knocking at the door, remembering what had happened to people I knew that had suffered breast cancer. El me dio Belleza en Lugar de Cenizas (Isaias 61:3) Olayinka Akingbade Diario de Mi Triunfo Sobre el Cancer de Seno PROLOGO Este diario fue escrito como parte de mi proceso de sanidad durante mi batalla contra el cancer, y como inspiración a otros. No soy una escritora con experiencia; sin embargo, el escribirlo todo durante el proceso, sin saber como este proceso terminaría, me parecio una gran aventura. Animada a escribir por mi sobrina Dra. Omolara Thomas Uwemedimo y mi amiga Natalie James mientras estuve enferma, no me imaginé cuan efectivo e útil este diario resultaría. Parte de los fondos recaudados de las ventas de este diario se otorgaran a la Sociedad Americana de Cancer, con la esperanza de que mas pacientes puedan beneficiarse de Abraxane, el medicamento de quimoterapia que me ayudó tanto durante mi proceso de recuperación, que a pesar de que parecía inevitable ¡no tuve la necesidad de una mastectomia después de todo! LOS DOLORES Y LA PENA Mientras redactaba esta obra, me vinieron a memoria ciertos sentimientos que experimenté, los cuales no habia incluído en mi diario: La primera ves que recibí quimotera

Download or read book God Gave Us Beauty from Ashes written by Naomi Smith and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-04-02 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At each attempt to make a life changing transition, the authors family secrets would scream to come out. Her need to protect those nearest her would keep her life normal, but tormented on the inside. Her poignant portrayal of a God, who is able to bring their secrets to the healing sunlight of His grace, while loving both the victim as well as the perpetrator, is a saga no one who has been touched by sexual abuse can afford to miss. I will recommend this most helpful volume to many of my clients. A counselor in private practice for over twenty years. When I arrived at the prison, I had to pass through numerous locked gates on my way to the hospital. How strange and intimidating it felt to hear yet another door lock behind me as we went into the depths of the prison. I couldnt help but feel a twinge of fear as the guards took us past scummy looking men hanging out in the hallways. Finally, we came to my fathers room and I could see him through the open door. He was lying in his bed gazing at the ceiling and his face was shining! He hadnt noticed that I had come, so I stood enraptured, wondering at the change in my Daddys countenance. While I was at the prison, I had a chance to talk alone with the prison doctor, and was encouraged by his comments as well. Your dads story needs to be told, he said to me. He is truly a changed man. Other people need to know that God can change anybody, even child molesters. There are many people inside these locked doors, and outside in the world, who have lost hope that God would do anything for them. Your fathers changed life is a testimony of Gods faithfulness to any sinner who chooses to repent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We serve a God who takes our brokenness and redeems and restores us if we allow Him. Healing through our past scars is vitally important to our health spiritually and physically. To be able to understand where these hurts are rooted is essential for our freedom. Forgiving the abuser and recognizing they have foundational cracks that have never been repaired help in the forgiving process. Many of us have foundational repairs that need made but often do not want to go through the process of rebuilding the structure. My prayer is that you see where the cracks are, seek healing, forgive, and live in the beauty God designed for you, which comes from the ashes of our despair.

Download or read book Beauty for Ashes written by Laura John and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Reader, Why do ordinary, intelligent, and loving women end up having abortions or putting their own child in foster care? The author did both. This is her story as told through a series of letters from the heart to all her children. Laura John's first book takes readers through a very personal account, from being a child with no roots, who has a teenage abortion and a mental breakdown in her forties, to the woman she now is. An unshakable faith and preservation of family have become the driving forces in her life, and she describes through a series of heartfelt letters to her eight children how one very dysfunctional family is torn apart and reconciled to survive rape, alcoholism, divorce, miscarriages, drug abuse, and autism. The "blended" family that emerges through these pages will encourage anyone who has experienced a breakdown in relationships. This is not a self-help book or a book brimming with advice for parents; rather it is a chronicle of being a mother in often difficult circumstances, and about making impossible choices and living with the consequences. It has been said that the only thing stronger than fear is hope, and it is hope that emerges triumphantly in this book that is essentially about being a mother. Laura John was born and brought up as a white child in Central Africa (Congo) to English missionary parents. She now lives in Sydney, Australia with her youngest children (one of whom is autistic) and her husband, who describes himself as the "madman" from Galashiels.
