Diedra’s Story

Site created on December 6, 2021

I have Stage IV Appendicial Cancer (which my youngest named the tumor "Terry"), a rare cancer; only 1-2 in one million in the USA have it.  So I can honestly say, "I'm one in a million!" I trust in God completely for this entire journey, knowing HE knows what is best for me and anyone connected. I believe without a doubt He has a purpose in this and I simply surrender my will to His, trusting Him as a child. So many blessings have already come out of this journey. I have no idea what He has in store for the end result, but I don't need to. "Trust in the LORD (Yaheweh) with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path," Proverbs 3:5-6. He is my Jehovah Jireh/My Provider and my El Roi/the God Who sees me.  Praise His Name and all Glory to Him.
