OVERCOMING ADVERSITY: JOCY’S STORY, PART 3

Sometimes God may allow us to experience a horrible situation in our life to use it to guide other people. Through these moments of pain, we learn how much God loves us and how much we can endure through his grace. However, it's easy to get discouraged and think there is no hope. But it's important to remember God is in control, and there is always a reason for hope. Sometimes it takes time for the good to be revealed, and good things can come from difficult times.

Join the conversation with me, Lisa, and my friend Jocy as she shares her experiences while driving to get her hair wig, the first physical complexity of her breast after the second chemotherapy, and the story of a guy she met while looking for a hat. She also gives us an update on how her health is doing. Jocy is a wife, a mum to two teenagers, a Special Ed teacher, an early childhood specialist, and a breast cancer survivor.

Let's dive into the story!
