Step by Step 2

Ok... so I did say " 'nuff said' in the last post. And it was... at that moment. But I'm a lawyer and lawyers take notes ( most of the time anyway)

And this will remind and strengthen me always that He leads ( present tense) me

7 June - the day I went to National Cancer Centre Singapore ( NCSS) for the follow-up mammogram after the breast screening. Had a biopsy on 2 suspicious lumps in right breast.

Ps 90:2,4
Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting You are God. For a thousand years in Your sight are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night.


16 June 2017 - I received a call asking me to go in early on the morning of Monday 19 June for a biopsy on the left breast (just to be sure )

At 10:22 pm I received this on one of the group chats

Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible

17/18 June woke at 01:50 bright - eyed and bushy tailed. While I fully accepted that God is sovereign  and that no evil will have effect on me unless He allows it, I wondered that night about the possibility of curses given the many unusual " mishaps" that happened since Oct 2 2016 ( that's another story altogether ) Sat up with the bible on my lap and it fell open at Jer 15:21
I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked
And I will redeem from the handgrip of the terrible

God answered my question immediately and I fell asleep very soon after that, no more questions😀


19 June
Went for the biopsy and was told that they hoped to get some result by 21 June which was the date of my appointment at NCSS

That night my eyes fell on
Jer 33:6
Behold, I will bring health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

20 June
As much as I thought that I was calm and trusting, I think God knew I needed a little reminder before seeing the doctors

Zech 4:6
Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts

21 June
Saw the Doctors. Lumps are malignant and mastectomy is needed. We planned to go to Penang 22-25 June and I didn't want to cancel it. Surgery fixed for 28 June. Preliminary results indicate lumps in left breast are benign though full results will be available 28 June. Then I would know if it will be a single or double mastectomy.

Even before the devil could begin trying to intimidate me the Holy Spirit reminded me of His promise of protection when we abide in His Presence.

Ps91:1
[Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God] He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall

abide under the shadow of the Almighty

Thank God for His reminder of what things in life are important - His Presence and our family. Penang is a go... Cancer is not going to change our lives!!! Glory to God alone!
22 June
Yaaaay Richard and Ian and I are off to Penang and David joins us tomorrow. And this was God's wonderful reassurance

Ps 121:7-8
The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore
