The Balm of Gilead

In mid March 2013, I discovered a lump at the base of my neck near the collar bone. It was hard and it did not look too good. I went to the doctor and the ultrasound showed a nodule measuring about 2 cm in diameter. In the meantime, blood tests were done and I was scheduled to see the specialist in the Singapore General Hospital at a later date. 

It was tough for me because of the heavy use of my voice in vocal and enrichment training. At times, I had difficulty projecting my voice. When I yawn, it was hurting too. 

Monte and I continued to pray for the Lord's healing and grace.

One day about two weeks later, I discovered to my amazement that the lump was gone. Monte and I were elated. We cannot understand why and where it had gone. 

All we know was that God had come through for us. The Lord healed me. Jesus is the balm of Gilead. 
 
God performs mighty miracles.  His healing power flows through our broken bodies.

Lord, have mercy on us! Empower and strengthen us to believe You for You are the miracle working God Awesome, great and glorious!

Stranger's Kindness

On 21 April, Monte and I were traveling on a travelator on our way into Sentosa.  Monte fell and had a hairline fracture of his right knee.  The doctor at Singapore General Hospital said that it might take 10-12 weeks to heal.  He had to wear a cast from his upper thigh to his ankle.

Today, he is still wearing a cast.  It will be removed on 10 June 2013.  During this time, we are thankful to experience the kindness of people.  Total strangers help in different ways.  People extend their helping hands.  Their warmth, kindness and generosity touched us deeply.
