Well, after the series of Faith articles, on April 2 - my dad was suddenly diagnosed with a cancerous tumour growth in his liver and bile.
When the news was announced, it was as if the whole world has stopped. And then everything fall into with a series and waves of panic, appointments, consoling my dad at the unexpected news. Phones calls, encouraging my mom and arranging my dad for admission to the hospital for treatment - frenzy of activities ensue with finances, paperwork, decisions and appointments to sort out.
The rest of the days - he went through two minor operations and 1 major operation to remove the tumour and part of his liver.
Throughout this time, I juggled work, hospital visits, appointments, anxious long wait outside the operations theatre where the operations extended longer than usual. After which the relief came when he was transferred the high dependency ward. Prayed that he has a speedy recovery.
On saturday after the operations, I must have been too tired after intense of three weeks. That I broke down in tears when I reached home. Thankfully Sister Siow Ing, was around to call and we chatted. Throughout the ordeal, churches and friends lend encouragement and prayer support.
And through this time and now - I am learning to lean on God. I reminded myself to stay focus, to breathe, to let go. I was reminded to patiently wait and trust His healing for my dad. I was reminded again to trust in the Lord. I wanted to share that my dad has received His salvation too.
I am now trusting in His timing.
Relying on His promises
Waiting for His answers
Believing in His miracles
Still praising His goodness
Thank you for a prayer offered for me and my dad. God loves you.
