Tell us about your survivor journey
I Frances Matthews would be a brave recipient for the next face of inspiration. In October 2017 I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. Through God’s grace and mercy I stand with strength to say “Survival of the flesh” when the needles pierced my skin when receiving chemotherapy through my port and the side effects of the medication has become unbearable, yet overwhelming some days. Then I remember these word, “He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 That I am within.
