Last
Tuesday, 16 July was my 46th Birthday. It was the 2nd
birthday since the discovery of my cancer. What a way to be celebrating my
birthday! I had received a lot of messages from friends wishing me well with added
notes of encouragement and support.
I
had wanted to write something on that day or at least the next day but my
constitution basically prevented me from having the desire to want to write.
What you may not know is that whenever I sit down to work on my computer,
especially in the last month or so when I had this problem with my stomach and
the pain, sitting at the desk compresses and thus put additional pressure on
the stomach and this increases the pain. I have to either lean back or sit
ram-rod straight so that there is no additional pressure on the stomach but
those positions are not really very comfortable over a long period of time.
As
I had mentioned in my earlier post, the pain is easing with medication and
knowing when to administer both the pain killer, the drug that decreases
stomach acid production, antacid and food intake to reduce refluxes. During one
of the prayer, I had received a prompter from God that I need to talk to Josie,
to confess to her about a hidden sin of mine that I had kept from her.
Strangely or should I say miraculously enough, when the prompter came and I who
is no longer in a position to bargain with God in any case agreed to tell
Josie, the pain started to ease off. It did not disappear but it eases quite a
bit. Spoke to her yesterday and by God’s grace and mercy, things turned out
better than I had expected and I thank God for his hands at work in this
matter. No… It is not something that I will be writing about as it is a matter
for me, Josie and God. If I can at least boast, I can boast that I have nothing
else to hide from God and Josie. Kind of oxymoronic as we cannot really hide
anything from God but my earlier statement is metaphorical anyway as far as God
is concerned. I did not get to go scot-free though as according to Josie, I
have to live longer than her in order to pay her back…
God
is kind, God is gracious and God is full of whatever we would termed as “good”
and He had given me Josie and whatever that may had transpired, Josie said that
we are still in this journey together and God will carry us through.
In
God We Trust and in Christ alone my hope is found.
Hebrews
11:1
