Story of Hope
Jeremiah 29:11
Tammy Sullivan
I have been fortunate to meet many amazing gals of
all ages through SONflower Gal. Occasionally, you
encounter someone truly special—an Angel who
brightens the room with God’s warmth and love.
Tammy is one of those graceful Angels,
radiating light and leaving you in awe of her
joy and steadfast faith in the Lord . . . as she
openly shared her cancer journey, bringing
forth a powerful story of hope.
Cancer Survivor A Light In The Darkness, Kindred Spirit
We are all truly blessed by the presence of incredible women of faith in our lives.
Some of these remarkable individuals enter our world like graceful angels,
bringing forth delicate petals of love precisely when we need them most.
I am a survivor, and my name is
Tammy Sullivan. I began battling cancer
back in the early 1990's, and here I am
today, at 65 living my best life in Christ.
Her Story of Hope
I view cancer in an odd way at times. Some say I'm just
a goof. Yet when I think if I had not had my diagnosis, I
would not have received His blessing of saying thank
you to my long-ago friend. What's amazing is we
picked up right where we left off since leaving high
school. Each time I travel back to my hometown, she
and I have lunch or dinner and chat the hours away as
if we never left the high school cafeteria! And yes, we
go home to our husbands, instead of our parents, with
them asking " Say, where have you been?"
Blessings, Tammy Sullivan
I've often wondered why cancer chose me. As I lived
each day the very best I could. I realized it was He, that
chose me, not cancer. The Lord was blessing me with
hopes and dreams I had-had for many-many years
and opportunities were about to happen.
God is good-all the time, and it is, in His time!
I have many favorite bible verses and Jerimiah 29:11,
is one I ponder and praise God for often.
“For I have great plans for you, says the Lord!"
He does have great plans for me, and He has great
plans for you as well. As I think back on all the
wonderful people God placed within my journey, I'm
reminded daily of this encouraging verse. I am blessed
with His breath of life, and I thank the Lord for the
special folks I hold so dear in my heart.
One such girl is from my 8th grade class. As I learned to
slow down and enjoy each day, she popped in my mind
one afternoon during treatment. I wondered how she
had made out regarding life. Was she still in our
hometown, had she moved, married, children? Gosh I
wanted to know everything. Little did I know, she too,
had been affected by breast cancer. I found her name
on a social media post announcing a gathering of
cancer survivors. In responding to this post, it indeed
was my childhood friend I remembered so well. She
was always so very kind to me and now, God had
provided the opportunity to simply say thank you.
So when I say to you, I'm so thankful to be a part of
such amazing survivors, I repeat the words from
Jerimiah 29:11 “For I have great plans for you, says
the Lord!" . . . His plans, His timing, Amazing
Thank you sisters and brothers, for being a part of my
journey. By faith I know He has great plans for you too.
Perhaps there is someone from long ago you would
like to thank God for their presence in your life,
however brief it may have been.
“Please get your "girls" checked!”
His drops of Grace . . . seeds planted never seize.
“Right now I have the blessing of going with
my mom. It always brings me comfort.”
Go with a
friend or loved
one to get a
mammogram.
Having a cherished
friend by your side
can provide both
comfort & happiness.

Keep in mind that taking care of your
health not only benefits you but also
highlights the importance of self-care
for those around you. Early detection is
crucial, and with a loving gal by your side,
a routine check-up can turn into a
cherished bonding experience.
Share stories or enjoy a few
laughs while you wait, as that
familiar face can bring peace
and calm to your spirit.
For her
‘Her Prayers’ are crafted to assist
the individual reciting them.
However, if you are praying for
someone else, simply replace
the word 'I' or any relevant terms
with their name.
The seven prayers encompass:
Anxiety, Caregiver, Fear, Healing, Hope,
Gratitude and LOVE
There are times when we struggle
to find the right words to pray.
The upcoming pages feature seven heartfelt prayers
thoughtfully written to support you in praying
for yourself, a loved one, a friend, or anyone
who has asked for prayer in any season of life.
Her Prayer
In Your Divine Name I Pray, Amen.
Heavenly Father, surround me with love and positivity,
and let the warmth of Hope fill my spirit.
May Hope be my guiding star illuminating my path
towards peace, joy, and fulfillment, knowing that Hope
is a powerful force that can light even my darkest night.
May Your unwavering love and grace wrap around me
like a warm embrace, providing strength and courage
to face each new day . . . reminding me that I am
never alone on this journey with You by my side.
As I navigate thru life’s challenges, may my spirit be
uplifted and my burdens lightened. May unwavering
faith and Hope be my constant companion, a beacon
that leads me to brighter days yet to come.
With each prayer, let Hope blossom within me like a
sunflower soaking up the sun . . . renewing my spirit, filling
me with peace, and reminding me of new beginnings.
