My name is Sharee .Scars of a Woman has been a tremendous blessing in my life. I've grown spiritually, mentally and emotionally. I prayed and asked God to place me around women who could help me grow, women who were like minded and prayer warriors. God did just that. Every meeting, Lay it on the Table, and conference has been life changing. I'm forever grateful for Yolanda and all that she's done to make this possible. I have sisters for life. Scars of a Woman is proof that a group of women can come together without hate, jealousy and envy. Instead whenever we come together, it's always love, laughter, tears, prayer and uplifting.

Scars of women has taught me to trust In god the power of prayer is real stay connected and to know your purpose .

In 2019, I was diagnosed with having cancer. In hearing the words “you have cancer”, my heart was flooded with so many emotions. I knew my life would be forever changed. Test revealed that I had a rare form of breast cancer that only 1% of those diagnosed with survived. At the time of my diagnosis, the aggressive tumor was the size of a golf ball. Chemotherapy treatments did not shrink the aggressive tumor. If I am to be honest, I struggled with why God allowed me to go through this. I couldn’t understand. Why me!! I knew God, I believed in the word of God, I trusted God. Yet I was always fearful of the unknown. I came to realized it wasn’t just about the physical healing. It was also about an emotional healing. For me, it was about trusting God fully, giving God control over my life. The realization that I was in for the fight of my life meant that I had to give it over to God. I had to give all my worries and fears to Him. I was not in control of being sick or in pain, of radiation and surgeries, of the struggles in learning how to stand and move my legs to walk again, of the stays in the hospital and rehabilitation centers, the months of physical therapy, the irreversible damage caused by chemo to my nervous system and muscles, the loss of my job. There were days were I was full of optimism, positivity, hope and faith. There were other days of sadness, and not knowing what to expect from one day to the next. All I could do was reflect on the goodness of God and on knowing that he had a purpose for my life. I knew God was preparing me for the journey I was about to embark on. I had to hold on to my faith, keep my focus on who God was. Faith does not work unless you know who God is. It’s not about what you go through but about trusting God. My journey strengthened my faith. It taught me to look to God for everything. God gave me Grace and Mercy. He gave me unmerited favor. He carried me and is still carrying me. I know that my work is not finished here on earth. I have learned not to sweat the small stuff, to be grateful for each day and to let the glory of God resonate through me. Through it all, I am thankful I am able to talk about my journey. It’s about fighting what was sent to destroy me. It’s about the fear of cancer reoccurring, but knowing your faith in God has you. It’s about learning to live a new normal. It’s about having confidence in the new me. It’s about seeing myself as God sees me and never being the same again. My journey started three years ago. I have been in remission for a year and a half and today, I celebrate my life. I believe God saved me to help others. It has not been an easy journey but I am grateful to be here. As I reflect on the course of my journey and the road blocks I encountered, I leap for joy over the goodness of God, I rejoice in his glory. Look at how good GOD is!! He has brought through .... I am more than a conqueror. I am a warrior. Yolanda is a phenomenal woman of God, who exemplifies commitment and dedication to her work in ministry. Her gift of ministry has impacted many and encourages women to be who God created them be. Thank you Yolanda for empowering me to be who God has made me to be. Forever grateful, forever thankful
