Mrs. Coretta Lawyer

Coretta Lawyer is a lifelong entrepreneur, compassionate caregiver, and devoted woman of faith from Ridgeland, South Carolina. She is married to her husband, Bruce Lawyer, and is the proud mother of two children, Lashay and Brandon. Coretta also treasures her role as a “proud grandmommy” to her beautiful granddaughter Zhuri, with hopes and prayers for more blessings to come. With a heart for service and connection, Coretta is the owner of Hands of Care, a home healthcare business located in Ridgeland, South Carolina, which has been serving the community for over five years. Prior to entering the healthcare field, she successfully operated B & C Tours, a transportation and charter service, for 25 years. When the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the transportation industry, Coretta trusted God’s redirection and stepped boldly into healthcare – what she considers not just a business, but a ministry.

Known for her warm spirit, talkative nature, and willingness to help anyone in need, Coretta has always been drawn to people. Whether through business, ministry, or everyday conversations, she believes God has divinely positioned her to encourage, uplift, and connect with others. A cancer survivor and powerful testimony bearer, Coretta’s life reflects unwavering faith, perseverance, and obedience to God’s calling. Through her story, she hopes to inspire others to trust God beyond fear, beyond reports, and beyond diagnoses.

Believing Beyond The Diagnosis – Pearls of Wisdom

This chapter invites the reader to look past labels, medical reports, and fear-filled forecasts to rediscover the power of hope. A diagnosis may describe a condition, but it does not define identity or destiny. Through personal reflection and faith-filled insight, these pearls of wisdom remind us that God’s plan is bigger than any chart, test, or prognosis. Here the reader is encouraged to speak life, honor their emotions without surrendering to them, and anchor their belief in what God is able to do. This chapter is a gentle but powerful reminder: you are more than what you’ve been told, and your story is still being written.

Key Takeaways:

  • A diagnosis is information, not identity: It may explain what you’re experiencing, but it does not limit who you are or what God can do in your life.

  • Faith and wisdom can coexist: You can acknowledge the reality of the diagnosis while still choosing hope, prayer, and positive confession over fear.

  • Your story is not over: Each day offers new opportunities for healing, strength, and purpose beyond what doctors or reports may predict.
