Cancer and Me

I claim to be a woman of God.
Sa Kanya huhugot ng lakas at pag-asa. Sa pamamagitan Niya, ako ay magpapatuloy.

Many people complimented me for how strong I handled chemo and faced my cancer battle. I have read terms such as “maswerte ka”, “buti ka pa”, but what they do not know is that I am also as scared as hell. People didn’t know how I earnestly prayed to ask for the strength and courage.

Despite my fear, I do things scared. I fought hard but I never forget to celebrate life in between my struggles.

I am not my circumstances. I am what God teaches me during all those circumstances. I found joy in my lowest, and love during the loneliest time of my life.I realized that fighting scared is possible, and one need not to fake being strong just to be strong.The Grace of the Lord has always been enough for me. Posting these because I am about to close one chapter of my life. Looking back on all these photos, I am reminded of my resilience because of God’s faith in me.

Sinira niya ang katawan ko, but it fixed my soul. It wrecked my plans but it directed my to seek my purpose. I hate you cancer but I am grateful to meet you. You changed me, the hard way, and God’s way.
