Day of Encouragement and Showers of Blessing

There's always showers of blessing before even greater news is received. The last results was like that too - with songs of praise and good time with friends. Last night, I had a whole day full of encouragement. I felt such showers of blessings. I got to chat with my old friend, Sharon Tan from Melbourne and my dear cousin Stephen from Perth. I was so delighted to receive sms that he read the prayer I blogged yesterday to receive Jesus and to be saved. Praise the Lord! Hey, Stephen, I am marking this special day, 30.9.2009, down for you. Your prayer is just between you and God and I will continue to pray for you. :) Then, Pesala called. This special lady whom I only got to know better from this journey, has been such an encouragement to me. To see her life change after she committed her household problems to Jesus really encourages me beyond words. She has managed to restore her relationship with her husband and now he goes to church! Her husband has even allowed pastor and Hamir to pray with him. That is a new man with a new life! Praise the Lord! Then, my old friends, Yew Leong, Freddy, Clarence, GC together with Aunt Rita and Uncle Richard visited me out of the blue! What a day of blessing! In addition to that, because Henry attended a prayer meeting amongst friends for this Sunday's Church Business Meeting, I was baby sitting Nicholas and Ethan last night. What a joy it was to have my family reunited with me over the week day!

This morning, I went for a chest X Ray. Alright, no drama today! I am so glad there was no needles involved. Praise God once more for his confirmation. My X ray report says marked improvement from the previous X ray and my main tumor keeps shrinking! It's now only 1.4cm only which is smaller than the previous ct scan of 2 cm. Doc is so pleased with progress that she was all smiles today saying "It is VERY good loh" as she compared 2 X rays. I love my doctor because she doesn't give me too many details but with such few words, it almost makes me laugh! She did comment I have very dry skin and could do with moisturiser and even a facial. Actually, I do have moisturiser but she told me to get a really good one and to visit the counters to get my face analysed first. Which I did! The lady H2O shop at Sunway Pyramid gives really detailed advise and even dissuades me from certain of their products eg I need a product that balances the moisture and hydration and not just hydration. While at Sunway Pyramid today, Henry and I managed to catch a chick flick "The Ugly Truth" which I enjoyed tremendously! Sooooooooooooo romantic!

I was reading the SUN newspaper today at the hospital and because of yesterday's tsunami at Padang, the Kugan case and another tragedy of a girl killed by a dropped emergency supply, the words "dead", "death", "kills", "killed" kept flashing at me each time while I was turning the pages, waiting for my turn for X Ray. Then, at the sports section, words like "as good as can be", "up and running" flashed at me. Then, I hear God speaking "No remnant, dead cancer cells. Your lungs are good, up and running". Isn't it amazing how God speaks?

After all in John 10:27, Jesus said "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them and they follow me". We can hear God, the bible says so. That's one thing that I learn from this journey is that God speaks to us through so many ways and means, through His word, through visions, strong impressions, sermons, people, signboards and today, newspapers! Let no child of God say we cannot hear God because to say otherwise would be in disagreement with what He says.

I wait upon the Lord and His finished work because He said He has borne my disease 2000 years ago and by His stripes, I am healed. And I choose to believe, I claim it and hold on to His promise. Thank you Lord, for you are my Healer. All Glory to God!

Thank you for all your support and prayers and that alone is such encouragement to me.
