A Testimony of Coping with the Confluence of Cancer, Chemo, and COVID-19

A Testimony of Coping with the Confluence of Cancer, Chemo, and COVID-19

I am a stage 3 cancer survivor.

I’ve always had a prayer, study, and corporate worship life; but as a busy, busy, busy transactional, my “be still and know that I am God” life was lacking.

I immerse myself in the lyrics and tunes of “Breathe on me Breath of God,” “Be Still My Soul,” and “Am I a Soldier of the Cross.”

The Rev. Dr. Letitia Williams Watford is the Presiding Elder of the Tuskegee District, Ninth Episcopal District, where Bishop Harry L. Seawright is the presiding prelate.

She is the first vice president of the Ninth District AME WIM.
