My mom
Yesterday, Jasmine and I were so excited to go and take a birthing center tour at St. Clair Hospital, right across our home. I didn’t know that we had to leave Jonathan in Anand’s home until that morning to abide by hospital policies. So, we were rushing to drop the kid and I tried to call and talk to Jasmine’s parents. We are having complains that we are not calling them often. We couldn’t reach. So, I called my mom instead.
After a minute that she said she found a lump on her left breast and that they are waiting for testing results. I didn’t get shock. I was sad to hear that but my heart does not shake by any situation. Period. It is because of my trust in Lord Jesus Christ and also his teaching that nobody could do anything by worrying. You can read more about his teaching here.
Today, I cried in prayer to Jesus as I don’t want to carry the stress or this burden on me but to give it to God. May be, this will make them more sensitive to eternity. Everybody has to face eternity or at least the question of what lies ahead after grave. We don’t have all the time in hand that we think we have. One thing that my father and I have to be reminded that we can’t take our spouse for granted.
Today, just before we got to church, I woke up and prayed and slept again. I was tired because of a tiring day before at ICF. As usual under stressful situation, I had a dream with some sense of oppression. I try to get up but couldn’t. Something is pressing me down. I always wondered whether it is dream or real but not sure. I got up and called her and came to know that she has 2nd stage breast cancer on left. Thankfully, It has not spread elsewhere. Currently, my Dad and others are working on different options now and most importantly looking for second opinion. They have been told that the chance of occurrence of coming back is 5%.
We will continue to pray and see where it goes. A day can change your life for ever and be sure you don’t have your life for ever. Give your life to Christ and be sure of eternity.
