I want to make a quick video for my friends and my family. You guys saw my post yesterday, and yes, in the future, in the coming weeks, I will have some treatment, either treatment or localized, you know, treatment. So localized, whatever they're going to open. But I wanted to let you all know that I'm okay. That I'm okay. I appreciate all of your praying and your love and support.

I also have to say something very important about my story. If you hear me say I am a stage four breast cancer champion, that doesn't mean that I am accepting that I'm terminal. I am not going to be passing away anytime soon at all. I believe that Jesus has me here for a very long time.

I want you to understand that there are a lot of breast cancer treatments. There is a lot of things, and I believe in the healing power of Jesus. He's just — He is the boss. He is in control. And that is why I have so much joy. If you're wondering, you've been watching me and you're like, why does she have so much joy? I don't understand. You know, it says "stage 4 champion." I don't understand. Because I do believe that I'm going to be here for a long time. I do not accept a sentence, a terminal diagnosis of death. Because I trust in Jesus. I do accept that maybe I will have to have some treatments. Maybe I will have to have, you know, maybe, maybe. But my future belongs to Jesus. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords of my life.

And I'm thankful to be here even though it's been a six-year journey. I'm thankful, and God is doing so much amazing things with this, a lot of things with the Missus, even in my family, with my husband, with the things He's leading us into, that is just — I can't even tell you. I mean, because you'll see. You'll see, right? But it's just beautiful. I am so thankful to Him.

So that's why I made this video. I wanted to tell my friends and family, because I know — and for the followers who aren't really close to me, but you guys see my videos — that's why I say that. That's why I'm so happy. That's why I have joy. That's why I move on with my life, and I have some pageant news very soon, very soon, for you. And lots of really beautiful things. I'm thankful, I'm grateful, and I just move forward in Jesus' mighty name.

Watch the video

With love, Ruth Marie
