AGAINST ALL ODDS

AGAINST ALL ODDS.

This is dedicated to those, who fought cancer,who are fighting cancer and who will fight cancer. It's a way to make them understand God never sleeps, He knew us from the beginning, He knows our end.

My refuge.

  we were battling with sarcoma an aggressive form of cancer at that,the type that grows so rapid.The location of this malignancy was intrabdominal,the pains,the distension I wept in my heart (if she saw my tear she will loose the will to live)any time I said sorry.she wanted surgery done,the doctors wanted to be sure what they were dealing with so as not to go in blindly(that's ethical and the right thing for doctors to do).Loraine insisted 'remove this mass, please take it out so I can have some peace then use what you have taken for your test".she insisted so much that the doctors did as she wanted,lo and behold even with the huge specimen the pathologist had a problem in figuring out the actual malignancy it took about a month before the result could be issued out
 Surgery was done a huge mass was excised, here comes the tricky part. Loraine needed to be fit,she needed to recuperate well and fast before chemotherapy can be considered.The masses have started regrowing faster than before, abdominal distension is back,the pains of cancer have returned barely 3 weeks after surgery.she's not yet fit for chemotherapy and the cancer is already overwhelming.
   In my heart I screamed God!!!! Help her, show your self put the devil to shame.I went to God in prayers I came across psalm 91:2 'i will say of the Lord,He is my refuge and my fortress :my God;in Him will I trust.'My faith was wavering I almost asked God why.science really makes one question God and want to play God,the doctors were not helping they knew the course of the disease to them, she should be on palliative care,the malignancy wasn't even responsive to chemotherapy but in some cases chemotherapy may reduce the growth.Loraine already knew this so did I but we couldn't just give up on life.when there is life there is hope, miracles still do happen.
 I looked at her wincing in pain,she couldn't cry out she had realized that the most she would get is sorry.I wished I could aid her in bearing some of the pain.she was cachexic now,so dried up a shadow of her old self,she couldn't lift her limbs she had oedema extending to her waist,she couldn't eat she had lost appetite everything seemed to be going wrong.I took a glance at her just as I was about to leave her bedside I smiled and said by his stripes we are made whole.on my way out all I could think of were the times when she was seemingly hale and hearty
.......to be continued 

God is aware of anything we go through, any situation we find ourselves in.He words doesn't go back to Him empty.I just want to minister to someone today that he is our refuge where we can find rest in times of trouble and He is our fortress from where we can fight and be winners.
There is someone today who has a lot on their plate I just want you to know God never sleeps,delay is not denial,He will definitely see you through and you would come out with a testimony of God's greatness.in Jesus Christ name,Amen.

Sequels to against all Odds would be out every Saturday.
