April Fools...

Today I find myself thinking back to February 11th, 2025, the day I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma. And with-it being April 1st, part of me wishes someone had popped out and said, “April Fools!”

But then I remind myself: this is the path placed in front of me. And while it's been full of pain and suffering—something I’ve known in different forms for much of my life—this journey is real, and its mine.

People often say that going through tough times builds character. Let me just say, believe it. It’s not just a saying… its truth forged in the fire.

They say, “The truth will set you free.” That’s not just a quote—it’s a truth forged in the fire of experience. And it’s something we should all be seeking daily.

Truth is one of God’s design laws. When we earnestly pursue it, we rise above the noise of the world and the confusion that Carl Jung once called the Collective Shadow. In truth, there is freedom. In truth, there is healing.

I’m creating a Facebook group for those of us walking the path of cholangiocarcinoma—patients and caregivers alike—who choose to lean on faith as a source of strength, guidance, and purpose. This will be a space where we can support each other through testimony, encouragement, and community.

The group is built around a promise found in Isaiah 40:31:
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles..."

Victory Thru Faith is more than a name—it’s a mission.
We are here to rise above life’s challenges with renewed strength, hope, and faith in God. And through that strength, we lift each other up, using our experiences to help others navigate this journey.

You’re not alone.
Together, we’ll fight—with truth, with faith, and with each other.

Until Tomorrow,

Steve
