The origin of Unspeakable...

An Agent For Change...


New ideas stir from every corner. They show up disguised innocently as interruptions, contradictions and embarrassing dilemmas. Beware of total strangers and friends alike who shower you with comfortable sameness, and remain open to those who make you uneasy, for they are the true messengers of the future. ~Rob Lebow~


Turmoil, discomfort and a hunger for something more, are most often the agents of change and growth. Rather than fearing those things that challenge, bewilder or oppose us, what we should truly fear is developing a sense of comfort, satisfaction and complacency with regard to where we are. Look for the lessons to be learned, and the opportunities inherent in every difficult circumstance...they are indeed fertile soil, in which the seeds of new perceptions, ideas and invention can begin to grow and flourish.



Unspeakable speaks........

This was my daily devotional from this morning. It was so profound, that I decided to share it with you. Today I made the decision to share with you my very intimate journey to healing through cancer. In so many instances, when we hear that someone has cancer, we immediately write them a death certificate. I was the same way until.....I was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. At that moment I had to make a decision, to choose life or death for myself, and I choose life.

I have told everyone that I have come into contact with that being diagnosed with cancer has been the best thing that has happened in my life. I am sure you are asking me why ......glad you asked! It has always been my belief that God uses the worst situations to teach the most profound lessons (like it states in the devotion above). Having breast cancer, shed light on all the other areas of my life that were "cancerous" that needed to be healed. There were relationships, finances, feelings, etc. that needed to be dealt with that I turned a blind eye to while I was healthy and had the energy, time and resources to fix that I just didn't do anything about. Those things grew out of control (much like a tumor) and began to threaten my very life (do you see the likeness now?). The only decision that really needed to be made was whether or not I was going to allow this cancer to KILL me (in every sense of the word) or was I going to KILL it?


The way to conquer a situation is not to lie down and feel sorry for yourself. To conquer your situation you must do ONE main thing.......Make up your mind! For me this meant that I had to pray first to receive specific direction and whatever direction I was given is what I used as my guide. Then I educated myself about cancer and I took an aggressive approach to fighting it (if you educate yourself about what is trying to kill you, you take away the fear factor), and then I applied my education to my life wisely (sometimes education has to take a back seat to faith, you have be able to know how to identify this early). After all of this I gave thanks for the opportunity to be in this position, because I understood early on that in order for me to go to the next level, I had to conquer where I was.

I am now an agent for change, but most importantly life. I speak life in every situation and it is my hope that as a result of me being diagnosed with cancer and being transparent enough to share my story, people are healed (in every sense of the word) through me for the glory of God...the true healer.
