Is Your Faith Good Enough?
I am a woman with faith. I am a woman who has a healthy relationship with MY God. I love my Christian brothers and sisters and know that what I am about to say I say with love and encouragement, with support and caring. Stop telling people to not claim their illness! I understand the manifestation of it. I understand the fear of hearing your loved one stating they have something that could ultimately take their life. I understand your desire to not live knowing that one day your baby sister may not be around anymore but I need you to understand some things. 1. Because they have accepted that they have cancer does not mean they are claiming it for any other reason than that of accepting their life circumstance and trying to make peace with it themselves. 2. If you tell them time and time again that by claiming it you are somehow allowing it to take their life makes them feel less than. Less than to the God they pray to every day. Every moment they get to have their miracle one day.
