Promises & Prayers for Potholes and Bumps on the Road of Life
Sandi Herron did not wake up one day and decide, “today I will have breast cancer”—it came out of nowhere and stormed into her life unannounced, uninvited.
In PROMISES & PRAYERS, Sandi shares portions of her daily journal written during her journey from diagnosis to surgery, chemo and radiation treatments, and healing. It was not an easy road to travel, but faith and trust in God made it possible to face each day with hope for better tomorrows.
PROMISES & PRAYERS will encourage you when faced with “potholes and bumps” on your road of life. Whatever challenge you encounter, YOU CAN DO IT with courage found in the promises of God’s Word

Excerpts from Promises & Prayers
“I know my hair will grow back, and this is not the worst thing that could happen. And even with a bald head, I am still me. Hair does not define who I am.”
“What remains of those times are sweet memories. Like the day my hair came out and my husband wrapped his arms around me and let me cry. He didn’t say, “It’s only hair.” He knew it was much more, and the hurt was deep. When he held me tight, it was as if God was wrapping me in a warm blanket and telling me there was a purpose in all this.”
“When we face struggles in life that we did not choose, how we respond impacts others. Your journey is an opportunity to show how to travel a road full of potholes and bumps with faith and trust in God.”
Endorsements
Renewing, inspiring, and encouraging are three words that come to mind after walking through Sandi Herron’s devotional book, Promises & Prayers: For Potholes And Bumps On The Road of Life. Each chapter begins with an encouraging passage of Scripture that introduces God’s truth in the midst of real life. Sandi highlights Biblical promises and voices a prayer of faith in the midst of her journey with breast cancer. Each passage of Scripture renewed my thoughts on the promises of God and brought daily refreshing. Sandi also pulled back the curtain of her personal journey through cancer as she recorded excerpts from her journal that revealed real emotions, struggles, and faith. The “From Then To Now” section was so inspiring to track how God worked and proved faithful through every season. Every chapter left my heart encouraged through God’s Word and Sandi’s journey. I eagerly looked forward to the next chapter each day. I learned that the truths God was teaching Sandi during her journey with cancer are truths that can apply to the potholes and bumps in my life journey. Yes, renewed, inspired, and encouraged describe how God spoke to me.
