Then, just six weeks later, I was diagnosed with rectal (yes, rectal!) cancer. I wanted to be strong and survive until I found that's all I was doing, just surviving.
God said He came to give us abundant life but when life falls apart our lives are anything but abundant. We assume that if we are ever going to live the full life Jesus spoke of we just have to wait until the storms that He also spoke of, are over. In the midst of it all we question God’s love, what He says about us, and we struggle to trust Him and find the peace and hope we read about.
I met people who didn't call themselves survivors, but thrivers, and I wanted that - to thrive, not just survive. To live live life to the full even in the midst of everything life had dumped on me. These people helped me see that life doesn't have to be painfree to be full.
This is the book I needed when I was in the midst of my cancer and didn't just need encouragement and inspiration, I needed a practical, down to earth friend who understood what I was feeling and show me HOW to grab the most out of the life I was now living.(less)

Comparison and how it robs us when life's fallen apart

This little ditty by Robert Madu stuck in my brain the moment I heard it:

"Facebook, Facebook, tell me how my life should look.
Instagram, Instagram, tell me who I really am."

Because they do.
Except it’s rubbish.

Happy, healthy women showing off happy, healthy families with happy, healthy bank accounts stare back at us as we scroll away in the supermarket checkout lane. It’s not surprising we feel la Read more of this blog post »

“Deep down we're all the same. When life's storms threaten to drown us we just do our best to keep calm, carry on, and breathe. If I've learned one thing along the way it's that learning to breathe again is a team sport and we all need a little help along the way.”
