This October, as the world turns pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m
reminded that behind every ribbon is a story — one of courage, faith, and resilience.
Today, I’m honored to introduce a very special project: the Digital Faith Affirmation Library,
a space where we celebrate faith in action through personal affirmations and real-life
stories of hope.
And there’s no better way to begin than with the powerful testimony of my client and
friend, Tammy, whose journey from survivor to thriver embodies the very heart of what
this library represents.
Her Story: A Faith That Would Not Fail
I have walked alongside her for several years now. She and I worked alongside each other in ministry throughout the pandemic when everyone fought to stay healthy and protected from the coronavirus threat. However, in 2023 when Tammy faced her breast cancer diagnosis, fear tried to speak louder than faith. But she chose differently. Through treatments, tears, and the quiet moments of uncertainty, she held on to one simple truth: God’s promises never fail.
Whenever I spoke to her she professed her faith by giving God the Glory and her praise. To me she exemplified an faith affirmation in action. Her actions became her anthem: “I am healed, whole, and walking in purpose. My scars are reminders of His grace, not my pain.” It was that affirmation — declared daily and lived faithfully — that transformed her journey.
Today, Tammy doesn’t just survive. She thrives. She radiates joy, strength, and a testimony
that says, “Faith works.” And that is why I honor her today and introduce a space where anyone leaning and trusting on their faith can share and witness of their journey's highs and lows.
Introducing the Digital Faith Affirmation Library
This new space was created to bring voices like Tammy’s into the light — voices that
remind us that faith is not passive, it’s power in motion.
Every week, we’ll feature an affirmation from someone in our community — people just like
you — who choose to believe in the impossible, trust through trials, and live by faith.
You’ll also find free downloadable templates to help you write, display, and share your own
affirmations of faith. Together, we will create a library of hope — one affirmation, one testimony, one heart at a time.

Closing Reflection
This launch isn’t just about words — it’s about witnessing faith in action. As Tammy says,
“My healing was not just physical; it was spiritual. God didn’t just restore my health — He
renewed my peace.” Her faith transformed her from Survivor to Thriver!
So let this be our beginning. Our affirmation of faith. Our community of peace, power, and
purpose. Share this post to encourage someone walking through their own season of healing or hope.
