Caught In An Unexpected Storm

I got admitted to the hospital at about noon on the 1st March, 2023. A CT Scan was done on me in the afternoon. In the evening while waiting for the doctor to relay the result of the CT Scan to me, I was given a form to sign for my insurance claim. I saw the words "metastatic liver". I googled and it mentioned something about malignant liver cancer that originated usually from the colon. The thing was I was not taken by shock probably because I expected something bad after seeing the ultrasound image shown to me that morning itself.

The doctor visited me later in the evening and delivered the result to me. The cancer tumour started from my right colon, spread to the liver and have traces in my lungs too. I was diagnosed with 4th stage cancer. The doctor then requested to see my hubby the next morning to give him the bad news.

Different people received these type of news differently. As a Christian, who puts my trust and faith in my God, I didn't go into denial. All I said to my God was, "If it is time for you to take me home, I am willing. But if this is not from you, God, I know you are able to do a miracle and heal me for your own glory. I know my God can do all things and He is The God of impossibilities. I will only have to trust and have faith in Him no matter what happens."

That night I was at peace and was able to sleep well. I appreciate your prayer for me and my family as we go through this great storm. 

The next morning, a brother in Christ send me a word after he received the news. "Remember Jesus is IN THE BOAT with you while you are in the storm."

From a young Christian, Isaiah 41:10 has always brought comfort to me.

Don't be afraid, for I am with you.

Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.

I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

My story will continue.........

I can't remember where I saw this mural.

Linking to Monday Mural.

One day about that time, as he and his disciples were out in a boat,

he suggested that they cross to the other side of the lake.

On the way across he lay down for a nap,

and while he was sleeping the wind began to rise.

A fierce storm develop that threatened to swamp them,

and they were in real danger.

They rushed over and woke him up.

"Master, Master, we are sinking!" they screamed.

So he spoke to the storm: "Quite down," he said,

and the wind and waves subsided and all was calm!

Then he asked them, "Where is your faith?"
