Letting Go of Expectations

Dear Friends,

Hello, gd day to you. It has been time well spent rested at home while I await my bone marrow test results. Thank you for all your prayers for me during this time.

The appointment with my principal doc has been postponed to Mon, 26 Oct 09. However, I have received the test results from Dr Grace, whom I met for my regular blood test, 3 days ago. Of all the tests, no cancer cells were detected in the bone marrow, except one test showing 3% of either cancer cells or stem cells. Docs are unable to tell which. They were considering that my bone marrow is recovering from treatment and the stem cells are growing into mature, normal cells. As such, they are planning the same chemotherapy for my next treatment to clear out any remaining cancer cells. Details will be known once I meet my principal doc on Mon.

There is disappointment with the 3% unknown cells in the test results. But my dad has been gd comfort when he encourages me to continue to trust in God. My expectation has been 0% in all. But I need to surrender all my expectations to the LORD, trusting that He will work out good in all circumstances. He will provide only the best. Everything in the future is unknown to me, but the good Shepherd who guides me in life knows all things, past present and future. I know what is good for me, but God knows what is best. And His perspective is always broader and wider than what I can fully understand, for His Kingdom purpose. It is not easy lesson to surrender all and follow Jesus Christ, but with His empowerment, I am able. I am sure you can too.

Pls pray for my next treatment which will start some time next week after doc's appointment. Pls pray also for strengthened faith and absolute trust in our LORD Jesus Christ, now and in the future, in all circumstances. To Him be the glory forever and ever more. Amen.

Take care.

From,
