It is so easy to fall into the mundanities of everyday life-going through the motions of waking up, working, paying the bills, and then all of a sudden, a momentous event stops your life in its tracks. For Ejiro Theodora Ideme that day came in October 2012 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was in this instance she saw herself again for the first time and in the 14 months that followed she began the biggest fight of her life, Scars of Hope, tells the story of Ejiro's extraordinary experience, her resolute faith, and how she held onto the tiniest light in the dark. This battle taught her that every day is a blessing and must be lived with joy and purpose. Through her journey she desired to lift up and encourage not only the sick but also the challenged and crestfallen. "I'm glad to write even from my place of struggle and faith during treatment to encourage you that you can go through life strong if you put your mind to it. Dare to be optimistic even in your darkest moments. Make your challenges count by bringing hope to the hopeless." -From Scars of Hope EJIRO THEODORA IDEME is an ACCA qualified accountant and a praise and worship leader in her local church Jesus House London. Worship has been a fundamental part of her Christian walk, and for over a decade she has used this gift of music to minister to others. She has now stepped out to be a song writer and is currently working on her debut album titled Brand New.
