Kara’s Story
Kara Ramirez had a secret. However, she learned that it was not her secret to keep. In her book, Not My Secret, Kara shares how God allowed suffering and pain to increase her faith. Following her diagnosis and ongoing treatment for breast cancer, she learned to trust God’s promises, despite her circumstances. Kara’s book includes personal stories and steps she learned while navigating her difficult journey. She hopes readers will be encouraged by her story and find the information she shares helpful as they face their own challenges in life.
Throughout my journey, I learned that God was not only present during my mountain top experiences, but he was equally near in the valley. My determination to live life my way was misguided, and it took the valley experiences to help me see this truth.
– Kara Ramirez
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”
– Ephesians 3:20, NLT
I WAS ON THE FAST TRACK, intent on breaking through the impermeable glass ceiling. There was nothing and no one who could stop me. That was until I heard the words, “you have cancer.” Through this trial, I have learned that when things seem uncertain in life, to lean on God’s strength, and move forward. When the enemy shoots flaming arrows of doubt at me, despite my fear, I will recall God’s promises and trust him anyway. When the storms of life are raging and I am too tired to fight, I will fight anyway. – An excerpt from Not My Secret
