On Sharing

A few people have written me and said something to the effect of "your Dad/Mom/Friend shared your blog with me, I hope that is OK." And I just wanted to say, YES that is more than OK, it's great! So if you feel compelled to share this blog with anyone, please do.

Why do I want to share my story via this blog? Three reasons:
  1. First, it's way easier to direct people to the blog for the latest updates rather than trying to reach out to each person who's lovingly checking in on us individually. You can also find more information about my diagnosis, how to help, and answers to other questions about my plans so I don't have to repeat the same information to people over and over again. Not that I don't love talking to people, gchatting, emailing, etc. It just gets exhausting saying the same things over and over.
  2. I want to raise awareness that sadly young women can and do get breast cancer, particularly Triple Negative Breast Cancer.
  3. Finally, I believe in the power of prayer. The Bible says that whenever two or more are gathered in His name He is there. And I think that applies to the internet too. I'm keeping our prayer request page up to date and I plan to fill that page up with praises. And when I beat this thing it will be for God's glory and all the people out there who've been praying for us will be a part of that glory. 

Speaking of sharing, big thanks to the beautiful, positive, and inspiring Megan for praying for us and for sharing our story on her blog.
