That moment of clinical death was not just another medical crisis. It was a resurrection.

God's story? Your life. Unfolding short stories.

The Bible tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.

But sometimes even with good intentions, we treat our bodies like machines.

We might push through pain.

We might mistake exhaustion for endurance.

But Stephanie Franklin Subur shares today how she survived cancer, how she lived with chronic illness and later survived cardiac arrest, and how through that, God began teaching her a different way to live.

My name is Stephanie Franklin Super. I am a wife, a mother. I am a certified Christian health coach. I'm also a

cancer conqueror and a cardiac arrest survivor. My story is one of God lovingly redirecting my life

through each season of suffering. What began as a personal

journey of survival became a life of surrender. For most of my life, I have loved God deeply

and been committed to faithfully serving him in every area of my life.

At home, at church, at work, wife, mother, elder, attorney.

I carried all of those roles with a strong sense of responsibility and obligation.

I was also very driven, a perfectionist, a people-pleaser.

At that time, I believed that perfectionism was a badge of honor, and that pushing through challenges was a sign of

strength. And I approached life with a mindset of perseverance. Even when pressure was not coming

from others, I imposed pressure one myself, and over time, I began to ignore the signals my body,

my soul, and my spirit were sending. I equated depletion with faithfulness and exhaustion

with endurance. And then God stepped in and he redirected my life

and my understanding of faith and health changed. So my journey began in 2006. I was 48 years old. I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer.

And the doctors gave me a very grim prognosis, possibly five years to live.
