All my life, I've been very spiritual. I believed in a higher power, I knew there was an after life and I 100% believed in angels. I wasn't exactly sure which religion I was supposed to really follow/practice because I didn't really agree with everything they stood for. On my 30th birthday, July 28, 2017, I was diagnosed with stage 2 Breast Cancer. During the first few months, I became very close to my maternal aunt who is also a survivor. She brought me along with her to bible study once a week. It wasn't until I got sick did bible make sense to me. My aunt along with a choice few members of the Bible study taught me the importance and power of prayer. I slowly started to pray, read excerpts from the Bible and having faith that God would not give me two precious children, amazing parents, such supportive sisters and and an inspirational Aunt just to take them away, especially in this kind of way. Now I knew that God would not give me issues that he knew I wasn't strong enough to handle. Yes, cancer is a hard pill to swallow, but once I came to terms with it, I knew as long as I had faith that I'd make it out ten times stronger on the other end. Praying and sharing my journey along the way at bible study with my Aunt kept me strong. With the support of once strangers, praying and keeping a positive attitude I knew I could handle and overcome anything that was thrown my way when it came to my cancer. Now, in less than two months, it will be a year since I've been cancer free! If I never found the Lord, I'm not totally sure how I would have handled myself. So, when it comes to becoming an Ordained Minister, there is nothing more beautiful than bringing two people who are totally and completely in love together as a unit. No matter your race, gender, age, hair or no hair, I believe I was granted this second chance at life to help celebrate love. I believe that because during my chemotherpy treatments, I met the total love be of my life after a terrible, abuse, unhealthy 10 year marriage. Love is a beautiful thing that needs to be celebrated as often as possible. If I can help bring two people together for the rest of their lives, I will feel like I am answering my second calling at life.
