“You are diagnosed with stage 3, breast cancer (Triple Negative)”. Almost immediately, nothing else registered except that I felt my feet firmly on the ground. “I felt engulfed in a sense of calm- am I in denial??” 10 months later and still receiving on-going treatments, I claim and testify that it was the spirit of God who lifted me up and wrapped me in immediate comfort and that is why I was engulfed. Formed by listening and all the faith formations that made me feel my feet firmly on the ground of the word of God. It was love in the room that very day through my Surgeon, nurse and family who cared deeply for me. The Holy Spirit moved powerfully amongst all of us, , and without doubt, filled us with his comforting love that everything is going to be okay. YES, there is LOVE through my doctor’s kind words, there is Jesus HOPE in being highlighted of the urgency in the matter, there is PEACE there are next steps required. Jesus is the LIGHT and he shows us how. “Deal with what you have, NOT what you PERCEIEVE it to be”. My parish priest's profound words of holy wisdom has pivoted me to focus on speaking life to myself”. “How do I give life to myself?” the wise man says ,"tell the what-ifs” to STOP. STOP. Just STOP.” And since that day, I have been doing so every day and many times through the day, to STOP. Just STOP. Crawling up at 5am is because LIGHT breaks the darkness every single day. Without fail. The wondrous day made by our Lord; is a brand new day to rejoice, to be glad. I am grateful for all the healing he has done for me, now in me, and how he WILL continue to heal me. His spirit enfolds and His love fills my heart. All I need to do on my part is to TRUST and #GetOutThereToFeelGood. Today, I celebrate this Easter Sunday 2021- I participate in His resurrection and renew my baptismal vows. My heart is completely transformed by him, my mind renewed in all these adventures with him since the diagnosis and I cling on to God our father and proclaim he truly exists in my life. Jesus has truly resurrected me out from my rotting tomb and He has RAISED ME TO LIFE with JESUS’ HOPE! #BCFSG #thewickedlightsg #vivreactivewear #hpbsg #sgcancersociety https://www.instagram.com/p/CNPcwlkHztR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
