In March 2019, Melanie was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive form of brain cancer.  Her physician shared that it was inoperable and stated her prognosis as 3-6 months.  Nearly a year later her scans miraculously show, "no signs or evidence of disease."   Melanie shares how this healing journey has taught her some valuable lessons.  Before her diagnosis, Melanie asked God to teach her about love.  Looking back over the last year, Melanie realizes just how loved she is, and has learned about the power of FORGIVENESS, GRATITUDE, and real, unconditional LOVE.  She is passionate about letting others know that they are worthy of love, they have a powerful Savior who will fight for them, and that they have seeds of greatness in them!   Some highlights: 12:51 BIG MOMENT!  Melanie encounters Jesus in the hospital (a second time) and tells her that she is healed.  15:18 Melanie and her father are both hospitalized simultaneously.  They have a special moment before his passing. 17:00 Forgiveness is the path to healing! 18:00 A focus on gratitude after Melanie's mom's passing is helpful in finding peace.  Melanie shares how gratitude can completely shift one's existence. 18:45 Love is the third great lesson for Melanie in this journey.     Melanie's hope for you: "Claim who you are as a child of God.  He is a mighty King and he is here for us!" "You are LOVED more than you can imagine!  Open yourself up to it!" "You have seeds of greatness in you!  Step into your greatness!"   Genesis 50:20 NIV "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done..." Thank you, Melanie, for sharing your very personal journey with us today!  You are truly an inspiration!
