Bailey Walker

To briefly introduce myself, I am a 21 year old nursing student who is a childhood cancer survivor and loves the Lord. As you can tell from that first sentence alone, I have lived an interesting and jam-packed past, filled with years of love/loss/hardship/grief.

As I look toward a new phase of life, I have found myself wrestling with the big and small questions of life and meaning throughout my day to day rhythms. Why does the Lord allow bad things to happen to good people? Why do some people live through cancer treatment while others do not? Am I forever tarnished by my diagnosis, or is there hope in that I may be something greater than my past?

I am by no means well versed enough academically regarding theological teaching or doctrines within Christianity, and I am not saying that I am able to answer all these questions. However, I hope that my life experiences can help someone else not to feel alone in theirs. We live in a society where a lot of these topics are deemed taboo to converse in with others, and that is a habit I wish to break.

Welcome aboard!
