I always knew that God was good. It’s what I was taught and no matter what was going on, God was always good.

Well, the season that I have been walking through with my health made me question whether or not God was really good.

I was always questioning-always waiting for God to move these mountains that I have been climbing.

There were days where I completely lost hope. There were days where I had a weird amount of hope. There were days where I cried all day. There were days where I laughed with friends.

And looking back at it now, all those emotions were so necessary in getting through the challenges. Every up and down got me to where I am today.

There is a lady that I know who constantly reminds me every-time we talk that I am stronger than I know. I didn’t believe her for a while, but she never failed to remind me. And that helped so much. I can’t see my strength a lot of the time, so it was encouraging to be reminded of it.

And now I’m sitting here on the other side, receiving the good news that the tumor they’ve been watching is benign.

IT’S BENIGN. PRAISE THE LORD.

There were days before this appointment where my mind would think worse case scenario. Tumors mean cancer, and there was a small part of me that was afraid that would be my story. BUT GOD decided that it wasn’t going to be my story, and He worked, and moved mountains, and was so faithful in answering my prayers, and the prayers of every. single. person. who prayed over me.

But this isn’t over. The doctors appointments are still going to come. The tumor will still be there, and every once in a while I might still feel fear associated with just knowing that it is there. But fear is normal, and with God anything is possible. Even the hardest of things.

I have faith that God will continue to give me answers in this, and that He will use this part of my story for His good.

I can’t help but thank all my friends, mentors, and even strangers who I met who prayed for me, and just encouraged me so much in this season that I am walking through. I wouldn’t be able to do this alone.

To God be the Glory.
