Repentance

After the word was released, I really wanted to pray. However, due to the medication, I was weak and had great difficulty doing so. But God was gracious. He allowed me to dream of a youth group worship setting. And in this setting, I fell on my knees weeping. At that moment, I knew God had allowed me the opportunity to truly come before Him to ask for His grace and forgiveness.

The day after, again I could not remember if this had been a dream or a vision. I saw myself standing before the throne of God. And God sat on it, while I stood below him after a flight of steps. When i looked up, I saw Hiim stretch out His right hand towards me and say, "By My grace, You are healed."

I knew at that point that I was going to be alright.

 

His Grace

Friends who came by prayed with me on the prognosis that we has been waiting from the tests. Basically, we waited for the doctors to tell us which type of leukemia I had - M3 or M1. An M3 prognosis was a better one since it meant that more than half of the treatment would only be oral medication.

When my doctor came back with a confirmed M1 prognosis, we accepted it. Treatment for M1 also started but some friends refused to stop praying.

Strange enough, the doctors came back and said further tests have shown that it was an M3 prognosis instead.

I have to admit that I did not recognise the full implications of the new prognosis. Not till a year later when I went back for regular checkups and seeing other patients with M1 leukemia treatments did I realise the full extent of His grace.

 

His Provision

Many came forward to donate cash, blood, platelets, etc.

And I want to just say that it was given in such abundance to me. Donations covered 80% of my hospital bills (I had no insurance...zero), So many people came to donate blood that nurses at the haemetology department knew my name even before they met me.

People from so many places lifted prayers for me. And God provided a Christian nurse who was such a great intercessor and encouragement.

And in that time, I had 23 job offers. Beat that! And these are people who knew that I had just been diagnosed with leukemia. And they basically wanted to wait for me to regain my strength before I start work with them. I don't know half of them, I can only say that it was just God's way of restoring my confidence.
