The Laura (Kidd) Payne Story

The symptoms were not pleasant, and with no health insurance, she had tried to deal with them on her own. But, it finally reached a point where she believed she needed to see a doctor.

In August of 2015, she received the diagnosis. My phone rang and when I answered, she said, with her voice breaking, “Dad, it’s cancer. I have cancer.” I felt like the bottom dropped out, and I was falling. But, doing what we always did in our home, we rallied the troops, assessed the situation, and began to research and learn what we could do to fight this wicked invader. Mayo Clinic confirmed the diagnosis, and she was at Stage Four already, and the prognosis was months. And, so began Laura’s healing journey.

Meeting the love of her life and getting married, while on hospice, the path forward took her to CHIPSA Hospital in Tijuana, and a miraculous healing began. But, the battle wasn’t over. The enemy looked and found the chink in the armor and began to gain ground. Through it all, she and her new husband, Cody, believed in Yahweh, the God of the Bible, and his son, Jesus, or Yeshua, in Hebrew. Her journey became their journey, and on the way, they impacted many lives with their testimony of faith. This is a story of faith in the face of the flawed human condition, under the curse from the garden. Well-meaning people who want to help but can’t. An arrogant Western approach to healing that is cold and cruel. And, then a politicized pandemic. COVID came and shut down every avenue of treatment as the world seemed to collectively lose its mind.

Painful story but not without hope

This is a well written story of one families fight against a rare cancer. Not willing to accept the one year or less prognosis of the medical field they looked for other ways to fight this disease. They were having much success using an alternative means and hopes were high of beating this but one setback caused much of the progress to be lost. However, not all hope was lost. Lauras hope was in something else. The God of the Bible. I heard a quote the other day that really stuck with me. It goes something like this, “ Can we believe in heaven and then be sad when someone goes there??”
Yes its very difficult to let someone go. It leaves a huge void when someone leaves us before their time. But, we who believe are not without hope. Even beyond hope into something called “surety” we who believe have surety! This is a book of surety!
