@genzbusinessanalyst: What should have been a season filled with excitement changed dramatically when Kiersten Rapplean received devastating news while pregnant: She had cancer. Instead of experiencing an ordinary pregnancy, Kiersten found herself preparing to become a mother while also undergoing cancer treatment. There was fear. There was uncertainty. There were questions about what the future would hold. But through one of the most difficult seasons of her life, Kiersten continued moving forward and holding onto her faith. Today, there is encouraging news: Kiersten is cancer free. ( She recently returned to SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital in Lake Saint Louis for the opening of its transformed cancer center, representing the kind of medical care that helped carry her through her battle. But Kiersten's testimony is about more than a hospital building. She carried her child while fighting cancer. She walked through uncertainty while holding onto hope. And today she can look back on a chapter that, at one point, she could not see beyond. I "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." — Psalm 56:3 Faith does not always mean knowing how the story will end.
