Life goes on.
[ 1:22 am ] My mom has cancer. It took a while for the reality to sink in. Any normal person would start asking a million and one question asking why this is happening, life is not fair, God is not fair, etc. I don’t think I’ve even at one point blamed God or was angry at Him. I still find no reason to be angry at Him … I find it silly actually. We repeat this in church almost every week, “God is good all the time and all the time God is good”. This is a truth. Despite whatever overwhelming circumstances we face in life, we still have a God that’s good. And because He is good, I know He’s there to make things right when everything seems wrong. Some simple logic la … you don’t need feelings to tell you that. Bad things do happen to good people and even as believers we do go through rough patches, these are parts and parcel of life. The wonderful thing about this is, it’s not from God. I don’t believe cancer is from God, it never was, it’s caused by sin (based on the creation science book I’ve been reading) when man first disobeyed God. Sickness was never part of creation. Anyways, bad things only happen because God permitted it. Why? I don’t know, maybe to refine us? Sometimes we might not see His hand in the situations we are in, but we know His heart. That’s where we place our trust in, because we ‘know’ God, His character. Thinking about it, God was in this all along if we open our eyes wider. She has been carrying that ‘thing’ for 2 years now. If not for that doctor to urge her to do an ultrasound, things could have been worse. I don’t think my mom wants that many people to know about the things she’s going through; I don’t see the problem in it. The more people know, then the more people should keep her in prayers. She’s been in the hospital since Monday now, and she’s doing quite fine. Doesn’t look like any cancer patient I know. She’s probably the only cheerful person in the ward … that’s my mom for you. A change from the person I knew before she accepted Jesus. Ok, I did tell God, He took my dad, so let’s make a deal, keep my mom around longer. She needs to be there to see her son get married, be a grandma and babysit the kids, ok? Hahahaha HUKM is one big hospital … Yee See and I was lost finding our way out last Monday. We ended up walking through the back of the hospital, pass the hostel, power generator, morgue, garbage bins, laundry area … we walked for 15 minutes till we got back to the front of the hospital. Well, that’s a little update from me. Life still goes on. I’m down to RM79, that’s all I have. Client promised us the money will be banked in next week. I certainly hope so. 2 comments Archives nothing |

heard about it bro. As you said rightly, God knows what He is doing and it's good to see that you all are holding on to Him... no matter what the circumstance.
if there's anything ling and i can do just let us know. If you need more information/explanation (cos' in big hospitals the doctors are sometimes rather busy) or just have somebody 'translate' whatever the doctors have already told you guys into something more 'digestible'... please feel free. Anything =)
