I hate cancer. It took my Grandma away from me the summer of my sophomore year of high school. It took my uncle away from me just two years ago. It took my neighbor away from her husband and teenage daughter. It took an 18 year old girl from my church. A high school volleyball teammate is battling it. A friend's college age brother has been told the doctors no longer know what to do. I hate cancer.
Yet my God is greater. My uncle and my neighbor? They came to Christ before they went to be with their newfound Savior. The girl at my church? Her dream for a camp for kids with cancer has been fulfilled (kayskamp.com). My God is greater. My God is stronger. And He gives me the ability to do all things with His strength. So I'm battling cancer.
I'm fighting against cancer because cancer is not part of God's original plan. I'm fighting against cancer because I've cried over way too many lives being cut short. I'm fighting against cancer because I'm studying nursing and I never want to have to tell a patient they have cancer. I'm fighting against cancer because I can do all things with Christ's strength.
To me, this relay is about doing something about the horrible disease that has taken so many loved ones away from me. It's about rallying together with the body of Christ and making a stand against Satan. We are the hands and feet of Christ. I pray that through this relay Christ will be seen walking on earth in me and my teammates and all participating in the relay.
I have a goal of raising $100 and I would so totally love for you to join me in this battle! Go to this link to donate:
