I woke up this morning with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my brain cancer. I don’t mean that figuratively. I literally woke up and my whole mental and physical being just felt so grateful that brain cancer is what my pain/battle is in this life. Only Jesus can bring that feeling. After watching the news of what’s unfolding all over this world the last few days and after praying for each and every person hurting on this planet, no matter the reason, I felt at peace. An unexplainable peace there are no words for. A peace I have felt many times since this journey started and I became what I thought I’d never be- a cancer patient. At peace with my diagnosis, at peace with how life has changed so much for us all this last year and a half and at peace with whatever the future holds because I know Who holds it. I know. If we look around us it’s not hard to see everyone going through something hard. Whether it’s a breakup or loneliness, mental or physical illness, addiction, fear, loss, worry or confusion; we’re all in the same boat navigating the pain that comes along with this beautiful life we’ve been given. I wanted to remind you this day/night wherever you are, whoever you are, and whatever you’re going through that there is a light. There is joy. There is peace in the anxiety and purpose to be had in the pain. And his name’s Jesus. And He loves you. And He has a purpose for your life. And for your pain. I’m so thankful for brain cancer, because I never would have ever known such a peace without Him. Sabrina leamon. Brain cancer survivor. Surreal to see. Blessed and forever grateful
