Download or read book My Journey With Breast Cancer and God s Miracles That Sustained Me written by Cathy Suitor Riley and published by Author House. This book was released on 2007-12-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cathy Suitor Riley decided to write this book during her treatments for bi-lateral breast cancer. It seemed to help to put her experiences on paper and she was hoping that her story would inspire and strengthen anyone that was going through any type of trial, not just breast cancer. It is obvious throughout this book that God was ever present during her journey and carried her when she couldn't carry herself. The faith that Cathy was taught during her childhood from the two Christian parents she was blessed with is what made all the difference in her life. She knows that without those teachings and lessons in faith she may have given up from the very first day of her diagnosis. Cathy had always said she didn't see how any woman could go through breast cancer because she would have to give up her hair and breasts, the two main things that make a woman feel feminine. It is obvious now that the way a woman gets through this is from the strength given to her by God. Only God can carry any of us through the trials we will face in this life, and there will always be trials as long as we live on this earth. It is this authors hope that this book will give you strength, hope, faith and the knowledge that your God is always with you and He is waiting for you to seek Him and depend on Him for everything. He is as close as our next breath and He is our very best friend. Always draw near to God and He will carry you through all things of this world.... May God bless you as you read and meditate on this book!

It was then I knew I could not fight this battle alone. During this journey, I would fight many battles with an enemy who was fighting to destroy me. There was a war within myself, trying to figure things out and spiritually what I believed the Bible said. I found out I was not alone. For when the enemy sought to destroy me, God had a better plan.

Download or read book Let s Get It Let s Go JESUS written by Miranda J Carr Elder and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about my journey in fighting breast cancer. As a Christian, you never think that you will go through something this devastating. But we know, they God rains on the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45).As a Christian, we do not get to live life pain free, trial free, or calamity free. We have to go through the same things everyone else gets a chance to go through. The only difference in us and the non believer, is that we believe that God is a healer (Exodus 15:26).Before I even knew I had breast cancer, God had already warned me what was going to happen but I was going to live through it. With that promise, it made going through breast cancer treatments a little bit easier.I pray that this journal is able to help anyone going through any type or form of cancer.This is not my book, this is God's book. He told me when to write it and He told me when to end it. I pray that it blesses you tremendously.We have to remember that sometimes we will go through things, devastating things, but we have a God that is able to bring us through (1 Peter 4). The things we go through are not for us, but to help others going through the same things. Just like Job in the Bible, God bragged on Job to Satan because God knew the character and integrity of Job and that Job could take it, (Job 1:6-22). God bragged on me to Satan because God knew that I could take it and would not give up. When trials come, remember that God is bragging on you to the enemy because He knows that you can take it and not give up.God has to give Satan permission to afflict you with anything but Satan has no killing power. Only God has the power to give life and take it away, so when afflicted, rejoice in the Lord always and again I say, again I say. REJOICE!God bless you and your families.To God be the Glory forever and ever!
