At times, we face losing something, gaining something and accepting the new uninvited normal. Within these events, we need to make decisions. I decided that in order to move into my healing I had to confront fear, step out in faith into unknown outcomes while trusting and believing that I would live to tell about it.
The ninth child of Betty and Ivan, in a family of ten, I grew up in a time when society seemed far less complicated. I am now married to Jim and we are empty nesters with three grown children that have graduated into their own life adventures. My pancreas cancer story started in February of 2018. Since that time, my husband, Jim and I have beat this disease. This blog tells the story of how we faced a giant and found peace and victory.
No matter the challenging life event you face, my prayer is that this blog helps you successfully walk through your distressing valley by listening to yourself, your body, your faith and approach it with positivity, faith, courage and strength one day at a time while finding purpose, meaning and a life that exceeds your expectations. This is my healing story.
Peace to you,
Rita

St. George…Dragon Slayer
…. I had done some research about the doctor and read that a patient referred to him as the “Dragonslayer of Pancreatic Cancer”. This intrigued me because Satan is often referred in the bible as a dragon….
Unstoppable
We rowed the boat together. We could not see the future. There were no scientific guarantees, but we can find security in that God is in control. He is our healer, and He knows the future. He will provide what we need and direct our path as we seek Him.
