Survivors - Life Defining Moments

Our lives will be full of defining moments, but those moments don't have to define us. Author unknown

My lovely Nurse took it on my iPad not the best quality.

I am not sure if today is a defining moment or not .

I dropped my boys at school and in the few minutes it took to drive to the Cancer Care Centre this song played.



The station was tuned to my husband's choice , in a vehicle I didn't expect to drive today. I didn't bother changing the station.

I heard these lyrics , for the first time . It kind of made my heart sing, as I joined in.


Thank you Matthew West for " Survivors "

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

You've been dropped like a dream to the floor

You've been told not to try anymore

But you're wakened from yesterday's war

'Cause you're a survivor

And your strength has been stolen away

And your faith has been worn to a fray

But you live to live on one more day

'Cause you're a survivor

And nothing can stop you now

Nothing can back you down

You never give up, you never give in

You're a survivor, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

For the phone call that tore you apart

For the fear that gripped your heart

For the moment you saw who you are

And what you're made of

For the cancer that stole all your hair

For the smile like you just don't care

For your hope in midnight prayer

You're a survivor, yeah, yeah, yeah

And nothing can stop you now

Nothing can back you down

You never give up, you never give in

You're a survivor, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

I'm convinced neither death nor life

Neither demons nor angels of light

Shadows present a future bright

Can separate us

From the love that will lead us on

To the hope when all hope is gone

'Til the day heaven calls us home

We are survivors

And nothing can stop us now

Nothing can back us down

We never give up, we never give in

And nothing can stop us now

Nothing can back us down

We never give up, we never give in

'Cause we are survivors

We are, we are, we are, yeah

Oh, we are survivors

Whoa, we are survivors

Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

Oh boy . Just what I needed to hear. I am so grateful to be here.Though, lucky you couldn't hear me singing.

Sadly, I flicked on Facebook as I waited to be called for my last Herceptin, an IV treatment I've been having for a year {every 3 weeks}. The beautiful SJ whose video I posted Friday , passed away yesterday. She was on Today - tonight 2-3 wks ago, speaking about her race against time to be married to her sweetheart. She also leaves behind a little boy, one year old.

Again , though I only knew SJ through our online FB group. I am deeply saddened. Life is so unfair. SJ lost her sister to Breast cancer 3 yrs ago.

A stark reminder too , that every day is a gift, not GIVEN.

God creates defining moments in our lives so that we can see ourselves first and then discover just how much we really, really need Him.
