"It's a bad one.....very aggressive and incurable. At best the doctors will try and apply palliative care and make her as comfortable as they can." I wailed as the words hit home and the realisation hit me. This is my mother that the doctor is talking about.
As the realisation sank in, I felt an overwhelming sadness and such incredible tiredness. The truth was brutal when told like that, but I wouldn't have wanted to know anything but the truth.
Walking away from the surgery two nights ago, I felt a remarkable peace in the midst of the storm. And then I knew that this peace could only come from One... no-one other than my Father God could leave anyone with such peace in the face of such devastating news.
But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
As I have spent many hours yesterday and today reflecting, I know with absolute certainty that my God is in control, that medicine is not an exact science and that He is our healer. I also know that He will use even these circumstances and this situation for good and so I have hope to carry on and face tomorrow.
May God's peace touch you today.
Selah
