They told us she only had weeks or months to live. We went back to the hospital when we got off the honeymoon and found out cancer had returned and was spreading rapidly. In the movie, you’re going to see at one point we thought she was healed, and I don’t want to give too much away and ruin the story, but on our honeymoon we noticed some complications with her stomach. Long story short, we ended up getting engaged because I just knew I was supposed to be with her. She said, “If my life or my death can bring one person to Jesus, it’s all worth it.” That was such a shocking thing to me because here is literally the gospel calling and obedience to Christ overflowing from her life. And the reason why I quoted that Scripture before is that we are going to overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony, but we can’t love our lives to death. If I die from this cancer, but if one person’s life is changed then it’s all worth it.” I thought about that. And she said, “I was sitting here thinking.

She wanted her life to be an effect to those around her. I think about this girl that I met years ago, Melissa, had an understanding that her life was literally in the hands of Jesus. It says, “We will overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimonies.” (Revelation 12:11) A lot of times we forget the latter part of that verse, “for they do not love their lives even unto death.” ![]() During this time, Charles, there’s this Scripture that we’ve all heard.
