Erica's Testimony - "I Officially Rang the Bell"

My testimony…

January 2017, I gave birth to beautiful and healthy twins girls.

February 2017, I am still recovering from childbirth for high-risk pregnancy and trying to adjust to motherhood. My body and emotions are all out of synch and feel so foreign to me. So many questions and thoughts that I have never experienced. Why do I feel this way? My breasts feel different but is that normal? Am I overreacting? Should I tell someone? What if it is something bad? Could it be cancer? Do I really want to know? What am I going to do? More questions than answers.

March 2017, I get one those questions answered. It is breast cancer. So many more questions…How bad is it? What happens next? Why me? Why now? How? But, me being a woman of much faith, I quickly dismissed all of those questions of Why, What, or How and answered with Who. Period.

Because of Who my Father is…

Because of Who I serve…

Because of Who I know is a Healer….

Because of Who I know is a Promise Keeper…

Because of Who gives me strength…

Because of Who has never failed me…

Because of Who blessed me with the greatest gift of two healthy baby girls….

I now had the Answer to all my questions because of Who I know…My God.

The doctor told me that I might need a mastectomy, chemo, and medication for the rest of my life. It was told that my life could be cut short so that I would see my children grow up. My God said…No! I underwent surgery and radiation treatment to remove the cancer.

Fast forward to May 2022… I officially rang the bell as Cancer Free as declared by Who? God Almighty. Period.
