Trisha Caldwell Even So

Annotation

Storms are a part of life. The good news is that we have a choice in what we believe about ourselves and who we are going to believe in. In an inspiring memoir shared in journal format, Trisha Caldwell chronicles her personal journey through aggressive bone cancer as she relied on her faith, inner-strength, and gratitude practices to battle the storm. In her own words:"Five years later I can still taste it. The atmosphere, the days in the hospital,the medicine being pumped into my body, the quiet nights, the sleeplessnights, even the hospital food (which wasn't terrible, but it wasn't home).It could leave a bitter taste - if I would allow it.But no matter the storm, we all have a choice: either we can focus onthe pain and what isn't right and then let it guide our thoughts andactions, or we can trust in Christ who walks the journey with us. I decidedthat in the end, it was not going to win. Even if it took my mind, my body,this storm was not going to take me."As she details her experiences from her diagnosis in April 2016 and the subsequent journey, Trisha shares introspective questions, biblical wisdom, and the varied emotions surrounding her diagnosis, treatment, and ultimate recuperation. Her desire is to provide hope in the midst of your storm and help align your own journey with God's truth and grace. For even though storms can rain down destruction, the rains also bring new growth.Even So offers inspirational perspectives and wisdom from a cancer survivor to help others understand that God walks with us through all our storms.
