This
journey is one of resilience and strength, a testament to the power of faith in
God and the human spirit. In August 2022, I received the devastating news that
I had prostate cancer. By the first week of September, they upgraded it to
stage 3. I thought to myself, this was a death sentence. The cancer was very
aggressive. It felt like the ground beneath my feet had crumbled, and life as I
knew it was over. Facing this diagnosis of cancer was not easy, perhaps it was
normal to feel vulnerable, overwhelmed, and scared. But I refused to
succumb to despair. Instead, I turned to the Almighty for guidance, and through
faith and with the enduring help from my wife, I found the courage to fight.
It
takes incredible strength to confront a diagnosis like cancer, especially when
it is as aggressive as mine was at stage 3. However, the unwavering faith gave
me the strength to endure the physical and emotional challenges that lay ahead.
I made the brave decision to undergo surgery on November 22, 2022, a decision that required immense
trust in the doctors and the medical team who were treating me. Also, a decision that
would ultimately save my life.
My
recovery was a remarkable blessed miracle, and it is a testament to the
resilience of the human body. The fact that I spent only one day in the
hospital and are now cancer-free is a testament to the strength of the spirits
that were praying for me and our unwavering faith in the God Almighty.
Psalmist 16:11 “You make known to me the path of Life,” and this is a testament
to the fact that miracles still happen, and that there is always hope, even in
the darkest of times. The path
to miracle always travels through uncomfortable territory but Jesus has told us in John
9:3 “this happened so that the
works of God might be displayed.” Yes, while He is here, verse 5, “[He is] the
light of the world.”
In addition,
this journey is also a reminder of the importance of taking control of your
health. We must make the personal decision and commit to do the right things
for our body. And sometimes, we will have to make the brave decision to fight
when faced with a life-threatening illness.
As
I move forward with this life, free from the grip of cancer, may I always
remember the incredible strength and faith that carried me through this
journey. God had answered many prayers from loved ones, church members, and
friends and has given me a second chance at life.
My
journey is a reminder of the power of hope and faith in times of difficulties.
It's a reminder that even when we feel lost and alone, there is always someone
watching over us, guiding us, and protecting us. It's a reminder that God’s
miracles do happen, and that the human spirit can overcome even the
greatest challenges.
As I continue
forward in this life, I know that I am not alone. I have a community of loved
ones and friends who supported me, and I have the unwavering love and
protection of God Almighty. I Embraced this second chance at life, and live
each day with gratitude and purpose.
Thank
you to all of those that lifted me up in your prayers.
Your
Servant
