A message from Leah:

My family is everything to me today and everyday. This is soo hard for me tonight. My World is seriously being turned upside down and inside out. Again.

So I finally have some answers to why I have had no voice , shoulder neck pain, headaches, paralysis in my right arm at the end of the days and endless days of feeling like I’m in a fog. And medical test after medical test doctor after doctor, I got my answer. ..

“You have tumor on your brain.”

It’s been a rough 6-8 months but it all comes to a head finally. I still have so many questions. If anything I will be glad to be able to read bedtime stories to my 4 year old. I miss reading to her at her bedtime. I know she misses it too.

I thought problems with my shoulder pain, paralysis vocal cord, numbness in arm at the end of the day, my headaches from being over tired, all were just individual issues until … until I got an MRI. A brain tumor? Didn’t see that one coming.

The lord picked me. To test me. But I will always cling to my faith. It has brought me this far.

But I will say I don’t have any answers yet just a culprit.

I’m clinging to Isaiah 43:1-2. “But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.’” — Isaiah 43:1-2

I believe i will get THROUGH this water and fire.

I do not ask “why me?” Instead, “why not me?” God allowed this, and that’s enough for me. All our testimonies are full of tests, and this is the one before me today. I’m embracing it!

I pray daily that God will be glorified in and through this process. My attitude (only with God’s help) is one of gratitude. I don’t HAVE to fight a brain tumor. I GET to.

My gracious Father in heaven has been so good to me.
