Lauren A. Hays on Clubhouse

Description

Welcome to the club!

𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧 • 𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗥 • 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗥

I’m a 12 year Stage IV cancer patient and recent heart attack survivor.

My name is Lauren and I have an extremely rare & aggressive form of STAGE 4 sarcoma cancer called GIST. Since 2009, I’ve had numerous surgeries, undergone 6 years of daily chemotherapy & all while maintaining a positive attitude & continuing to live my passion to serve others.

Our hope can’t be tied to whether or not a circumstance or another person changes. Our hope must be tied to the unchanging promise of God. We hope for the good we know God will ultimately bring from our situation, whether the good turns out to match our desires or not. And sometimes that takes a while. The process will most likely require us to be persevering. Patient. Maybe even long suffering.

Hoping doesn’t mean we ignore reality. No, hoping means we acknowledge reality in the very same breath that we acknowledge God’s sovereignty.

This club is where you’ll find the podcast and live show where I’ll be interviewing others who are choosing to live optimistically through their journey as well, whatever that may look like. I’ll also be hosting rooms on positive mindset, overcoming grief, trauma, PTSD, thriving and what it means to thrive and live everyday optimistically! I’ll be posting updates about the book I’m currently writing and when it will launch.
