What an Awesome God We Serve
I. AM. EXHAUSTED.
It’s been a long and exciting week, but through it all, I’m elated to know that God is my Healer; my Friend; my Saviour.
Last Wednesday, I took another trip to NYC to visit my doctors there. During this visit, I would get an update on how I was doing and also find out if any surgery was necessary. I spent my morning undergoing CT scans, ultrasounds and bloodwork and eventually met with the doctor. Thankfully, the doctor said the preliminary results of my scans and bloodwork are clear and normal. My body has responded well to the treatments and at this time, there is no need for more chemo and there is no need for surgery. Praise God! Of course, I’ll have to continue to have scans and bloodwork done as the doctors will continue to monitor my progress. What an awesome God we serve!
During this chapter in my life, one of my biggest goals was to be healthy enough to attend my younger brother’s engagement ceremony. (By the way, Congratulations to my brother and future sister-n-law!!)
All the arrangements for the engagement had been made prior to me becoming sick, so I knew I wanted to be 100% by October 30th. I knew how long the treatments would take and I knew how long recovery would be, so I prayed and asked God to speed up my recovery time so that I could attend his engagement. Can you guess where I was this weekend? What an awesome God we serve!
God listens and He answers prayers. I was able to go to the engagement, spend time with my brother and his fiancee and also get to see all of my family and friends. Time and time again, people would come up to me to tell me how they were always keeping me in their prayers. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude to all of you for your endless prayers for me. Thank you.
I thought I would be so tired throughout the day, but God gave me the strength to last from morning till evening and I am thankful that He heard and answered my prayer.
The day after the engagement would have been the perfect day to sleep in and relax, but my other big goal was to be able to go back to church by at least October. And after four and a half long months, I was finally able to go back to church on the last Sunday of the month, October 31st. Even though I wasn’t able to stay for very long, I was able to go and testify as to how amazing my God is. Not only is He someone who takes the time to hear my prayers and heal me, but He’s the one who sent His only Son to die on the cross for my sins. What an awesome God we serve!
It’s great to be back!
