I have a dear friend from high school who was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer 2 years ago which has now spread to many other areas. Despite 3 aggressive rounds of chemo and other trial drugs, the cancer has progressed. She has two beautiful children; a 7 year-old daughter and a 5 year-old son.
My friend had been getting the message to explore holistic treatment options and was hopeful yet incredibly discouraged when she found out how much they cost (which she describes as being pennies compared to the chemo and other cancer drugs). She was very hesitant and had absolutely no idea how they would find the money.
She had to have faith…
Then she and her friend put together a plea on a website called gofundme.com, where you can raise money for people in need and people can donate money right on the website.
Well, my dear friend has been totally shocked by what has happened in the last 4 days…
Friends, family, and absolute strangers collectively have donated just over $25,000 of the $30,000 she needs in 4 days!!!! She is elated and her mind has been blown by the generosity of so many people. People that believe in her and are supporting her so that she has a chance to live more of her life.
Watching this happen in the past 4 days has changed my life, too.
How many times do we stop ourselves because we can’t see “HOW” something is possible. I thank God that my friend did not allow that to stop her! She said she could have never imagined that she would receive this kind of generosity and support.
Ask yourself, “What have I believed was impossible and never attempted?” You can NOT have a desire for something without there actually being a way for it to be possible!
It’s NOT our job to know the HOW! That’s God’s job (or the Universe, or the Higher Power)! We just need to take the 1 next step. For my friend that was putting together the plea on a website. Then she sat back in awe as what she thought was impossible became reality!
This week, I invite you to take the next 1 step forward toward something you had told yourself was impossible because you don’t know HOW it’s going to happen. Have FAITH, then watch in awe of what the Universe brings to you!
Make it an OUTSTANDING week! It’s your choice!
Thanks
Colleen
