A few weeks ago, my dear friend, Chasity Herman, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She is a beautiful young mother of two small babies under two and wife to one lucky husband. The doctors informed her that if she could choose any cancer, this would be the one to choose as it is beatable, even more so than skin cancer. We were all relieved to hear that. This morning, as I type this, she is undergoing surgery for the thyroid cancer. Please hold her and her family up in prayer for a safe surgery, and a smooth recovery. The doctor did inform her that recovery might not be so nice.
Nevertheless, if any of you personally know Chasity, she has weathered some very large storms the last four years. I won't go into detail, but trust me, she knows what it is like to suffer.
The beauty of Chasity's story, is every time a storm has came her way, she weathered it with
amazing GRACE. Even during this latest cancer scare she sat down with me late one night to explain everything about it, because it was a subject that none of us could talk about. Her optimism and unshakable faith in God is amazing and beautiful. I believe this is just one more trial she will come out of as pure as gold. If I could be half as strong as Chasity, I know I could make it too.
I have always been curious about the big whoop-tee-doo behind the perfume, Amazing Grace. The other day I obtained a sample and on the box were these words:
How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word. GRACE. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and light.
This made me think of dear Chasity. She is going through one big gigantic test, but she doing it with Amazing Grace.
I love you, Chas. We are praying. God has His hand on you.
