Thank God for His grace! It has been 7 years since I was diagnosed with having left ovarian cancer, and God has given me a clean bill of health every year.
Recently I went back for a routine check up. My doctor was shocked because he found a 5cm cyst on my right ovary. To be safe, my doctor advised me to have a key hole operation to remove the cyst due to my medical history. I was very reluctant at that time, because I do not wish to go through another operation. Furthermore, as I am a dance instructor, I did not wish to stop teaching dance classes for at least 2 to 3 weeks. After much negotiation with my doctor, he agreed to let me have 2 weeks grace period before going back for a review. If the cyst is still there, I will have to agree to go for the operation.
During these 2 weeks the only hope to let me avoid the operation is to pray and really learn to have faith and to trust in God. Daily I told God my real feelings. I was unwilling to go for the operation. It was interesting that before my check up, the Lord had been showing me Mark 6 “Jesus walks on water”. In addition, verse 50 in Mark 6 spoke to me so loudly, “Take courage! It is I, Don’t be afraid”. During the two weeks of waiting, I had to learn to lean on this promise of Jesus.
Two weeks later, I went back to the clinic for another round of ultra sound scan and to my surprise, my cyst had reduced to 2cm. Praise the Lord! God heard my prayers. I was elated, because it meant no operation for me. However, my doctor still wanted me to go back for monthly check ups. This time round, I learn to pray by faith. When I left the clinic, I told God the next in the next appointment, the cyst will be gone in the name of Jesus.
Just a few days ago, I went back for a scan. The doctor found no cyst in my right ovary. God has removed the cyst completely. Indescribable joy exploded within me on hearing the news.
In the last few weeks I have learned that God will answer prayers and He is always there for me. I seriously thought that the cyst would not be gone, and at most maintain its size, but God surprised me by removing it completely!
I now have a stronger faith within me when I pray for impossible things. God reminded me once again that He is a faithful God who will answer prayers and always wants the best for His children.
I worship a faithful God and He will always be my best friend. (by Gracee)
Yeah I remembered how you discovered this illness and were admitted to Mt Avenia. The Cell group prayed for you and 7 years has passed so swiftly. God is faithful, He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Joining a cell group has all the advantages and if you are reading this and still cell-less, join one near your place.
