Zephaniah 3:17
"The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
Those are words from the lover of my soul that just bring joy to my heart and fill me with peace. It's over a month since the last post. How time has gone by is kind of hard to explain. After the drama with the government office in India, I finally got a go ahead to go on with treatment and got admitted on 13/12/2014 for a procedure called "Transarterial Radioembolization" ( in simple language it's just an internal form of radiotherapy), according to the doctors, the procedure went well; not that I expected them to say anything different since I know who is holding me by his hand. I was discharged after 3 days and the following 2 and a half weeks were really hard on the body , the dizziness and nausea were more than I had experienced during chemotherapy but the LORD kept my heart joyful and at peace.
I was given a six weeks break before the next major review and was allowed to go home for a few weeks. The days before I left India were draining, the process of getting travel clearance from the foreigners office was gruesome but by God's grace I was able to go home on 27th Dec, 2014. God answers prayer and is concerned about the tiniest details of our lives; I was not psychologically prepared to be in India for Christmas and New Year. I just wanted to be with my loved ones back home and He made it possible for me to do that.
I have been deeeply touched by the love of friends and family, many contributed towards my medical kitty for the sessions, the target is to raise $ 11,500 and $ 3,500 has been raised so far and that enabled me to do the procedure. To date I have spent about $ 25,000. I can never thank all those God has used to provide for me enough but I know that God has seen and I pray that you would all be blessed exceedingly. beyond the money, many have prayed, and this I can boldly say " I am here today because of the prayers many have prayed on my behalf and God has answered ".
2015 is here with us, I am grateful that I got the opportunity to be with my family in the beginning of a New Year. It's going to be a great year, I know who holds my days and He will do more than I have thought, asked or even imagined. I know that His promises are true and He will fulfill them. Did I make any resolutions? Nope, my desire for each day in the past 2 years has been that with each day I woud love Jesus and His people more. So that is what I am living for.As I think about life, the greatest miracle in my life would not be being declared cancer free by the doctors but the fact that I have experienced God in the journey and my faith in Him has been enriched. ( The being cancer free, science is limited but I know what the LORD says in His Word" by his strips I am healed", so regardless of the report I get, that is what I know and believe).
I will be in Kenya till Feb 8th God willing, then go for the review. In the mean time, I will gladly serve the community God has allowed me to serve at Karura Community Chapel ( an amazing congregation I must say, I am honoured to serve amongst them) and spend time with my loved ones.
For any of you reading this today and maybe you are at a point in life where you are uncertain how things will be because there seems to be odds against against you, I pray that the LORD will strengthen you as He has strengthened me, I pray that you will find rest in Him. Though He might seem to be far away, He is near and willing to carry you through.
I have been asked by many how they can support me, this is how
1. Pray with thanksgiving for me, the LORD has kept me by His grace and for His glory.
2. Pray for my support structure ( family and my best friend) that they would abound in peace and joy.
3. I would appreciate financial support, you can send your contribution via mpesa pay bill no 552800 Account no 0102016655002. Feel free to inbox me should you want to use my mobile no for mpesa.
