I am back in Ngee Ann City Coffee Bean. One of the supervisors just voted me as the most frequent customer to the joint. Candidly, that is. Actually, I did not plan to visit the joint. I only made the decision when my parents decided to spend some time on their own after mum's last radiotherapy session.
By the way, mum has been certified well - the tumour on the cervix is gone. Completely healed! Praise the Lord! She need not undergo radiotherapy treatment anymore. All she need to do now is to visit the specialist once a month for the next half a year. I was so relieved when I got the report and I just could not contain my joy. I basically messaged a couple of people to share with them the goodness of the Lord.
This is now a load off my shoulders. It has been a burden for the past few months but now that I have received this result, it was worth the struggle. I also want to thank all my loved ones, siblings-in-Christ and friends who have prayed for mum and my family and also offered words of encouragement - you have been a great blessing to us!
God, along the way, gave me affirmations through a few people that mum would be healed. Each time I received these words, I always claimed them in my heart and believed that God would see mum and my family through. A sister once urged me to pray that mum would be healed completely so that the family can proclaim with confidence to others that the God whom we worship is real and powerful. Now that it has happened, I want to proclaim that it is indeed true. We also want to give all thanks and praise and glory to Him!
I guess mum and dad can now enjoy their Vietnam trip this Friday. I pray the five days they will be spending together will be a refreshing one.
I have another 'good' news to share - my application for a PHD scholarship was unsuccessful. :) Thanks be to God for the experience anyway. The panel encouraged me to apply again next year - they told me basically that I am not ready this year due to the request I made for a year's deferment should I get it - this was due to mum's ill-health. The other reason was that I am not experienced enough as compared to the rest of the candidates. I accepted their decision and will see where God wants me to go when the door is opened again.
Now that I have written the above-mentioned, I can see God's timely plan in revealing both good and not-so-good news on the same day. They basically balanced out. :) I am grateful to Him for all the blessings bestowed upon me.
Well, another thing I want to thank God for - I managed to choose all the songs for this Sunday's service. I was quite anxious yesterday but after talking to the preacher last night and praying about it, I was able to decide on the songs without much of a problem. I basically went to Botanic Garden for a time of quiet and praise this morning and that was when I confirmed the list! Hallelujah!
Okie, time for me to key off.
"Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:13-16
