Dabney Hedegard

I could tell you that at age 25 the doctor discovered a football-sized tumor in my chest.

I could also tell you my greater fear grew in my belly, inches below my mass: a six week old baby.

But what you need to know, what you need to focus on is that life sometimes isn’t in the living. It’s in the surviving. That’s where our eyes readjust to the truths surrounding our circumstances.

10 years and four near-death experiences later, I figured out that life isn’t so much about me. It’s about what He wants to do through me.

This story is about an ordinary girl in search of hope.
