Sometimes life will knock the wind out of you. How can peace be found when you or your loved one receive a fatal and devastating Multiple Myeloma diagnosis? Emotional feelings of uncertainty, worry, and anxiety creep in, and finding hope in this deeply unsettling news is essential.
In the midst of this moment, we extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you and your loved one as you face this challenging season. It's important to know that you're not alone in this emotional and physical journey; our deepest care and concern surround you. We're committed to your well-being and want to come alongside you as a source of spiritual inspiration and emotional hope for the future.
During this faith-shaking experience, we decided to be spiritual-minded and experience unexplainable peace through God's words and promises. We found that only God understood our mixed emotions—sadness, worship, fear, thanksgiving, or frustration. God specializes in things that seems impossible. God cares and we were not created to face life's challenges alone. God's loving peace and comfort meet us and strengthen us to walk our most difficult journey.
As you walk through this challenging life season, know that God's plans will unfold in His time. The answers you seek may align with your prayers or differ; but rest assured that God is sovereign, and your diagnosis didn't catch him by surprise. God will increase your faith to TRUST & BELIEVE in Him, no matter what it looks like naturally. There is miraculous healing and a divine plan uniquely designed for you.
You can experience His supernatural peace as Phil 4:6-7 reminds us Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
John 9:2-3 And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."
