About Me

While this section seems a bit robotic, I appreciate you stopping by. Born in Charlotte, North Carolina but raised in Beirut, Lebanon and Kuwait during my early years, my family and I moved back to the US in 2001. We lived a few years in Raleigh, NC and then moved to Houston, TX in 2004. Aside from my birthplace, I would consider North Carolina my state as a big chunk of my family lives in Charlotte. On the other hand, my Lebanese side is more prevalent in my personality.

I love travelling and snowboarding — by far, my 2 most favorite things out there…Sports, Driving and any challenges (games or any other sort) are also things I am passionate about.
I still have a To-Do list of places I want to visit and Extreme Sports I want to do, God willing. I’m spontaneous, very adventurous and don’t mind taking risks…Some of the dumbest things I have done during my youthful years include riding atop a car on the highway, pushing a huge rock down a mountain (please don’t ask me what was at the bottom of the mountain) and throwing water balloons, cherries and tomatoes on people I don’t know — these activities were fortunately all done outside of the Continental US.

I worked a few years in the Investments field upon graduation, and then joined the Oil and Gas Industry in 2009. I really enjoy the Stock Market, Business and Entrepreneurship.

In April 2010, I was diagnosed with an Unclassified High-Grade Aggressive Bone Sarcoma Cancer…Ever since, my life has changed on all the fronts — mainly on the spiritual one. While browsing through this site, you’ll see why and how my cancer has been the biggest blessing in my life. Doctors and medicine gave me months to live, but this disease inspired me to start this website to spread my joy, comfort and peace in the Lord to family, friends and other visitors. I therefore do not consider this merely a Cancer Journey, but a Spiritual Journey. I am still fighting, physically, emotionally, but mostly spiritually.

I feel this disease is for His glory, and not to death as hospitals and doctors might suggest. I take my worldly prognosis and scratch it out when I read John 11:4 – “Jesus said, ”This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s son may be glorified through it.’” I pray and trust this, and I also take joy through Isaiah 45:5-6 “I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, so that from the rising of the sun to the setting people may know there is none besides me.” May You be glorified through my miraculous healing, Oh Lord. May people acknowledge that you are the ONLY HEALER, that you are as alive as you were 2000 years ago and that your promises are true. I therefore feel honored to carry this cross (hardship) while praising Him and thanking Him all the way through.

My only desire is to stand firm in the faith, at all costs. Nothing else matters in this world — as we are here for only a flash of a second, considering eternity’s everlasting time frame. If we are to follow Jesus, it will require great sacrifice and commitment — The Journey isn’t an easy one, but the reward is indescribable.

Very often, I imagine the moment I will meet the Lord face to face, hoping that He will tap me on the back and tell me: “Son, good job, you fought the good fight, and you ran the race marked out for you.”
I hope that this is your desire, too.

God bless you all richly.

In Him,

Daniel Haddad
