Cancer: Journey to Victory - Second Biopsy

16th January was my first day back at work after a short break. It was good to be back and to be busy again but I had to go in for another appointment. I wish my first day back was like another normal day but the appointment was a reminder that my journey is different now.

I arrived at the Breast clinic at 10:45AM for my 11:00AM appointment with Aunty Remi. The appointment was for ultrasound and biopsy on both breast as they are still trying to find primary source. This is the second time I will undergo this painful procedure but I was very glad someone was with me this time because I was on my own at the first biopsy and felt alone.

I felt like a paint canvas because during the ultrasound because the radiologist marked areas of my breast with a marker. It was very funny and hilarious. The biopsy was longer than the first time and very painful. Samples were taken from both breast and a marker, a small metal clip was placed in the left breast where the biopsy samples were taken. This was required in case I need to do an MRI guided biopsy so the area can be found again.

Lord I don’t won’t to go through any biopsy again. My prayer is that the results this time will show the primary source. Wherever it is hiding you will reveal. I am not concerned about this because I know you are in control but Lord I cannot go through this again. You said you will not give me more than I can bear,

I cannot bear to go through another biopsy Lord so please take control.

What’s in Your Cup? Learning to Overflow With Thankfulness

Image
Life has a funny way of revealing what’s really inside us. Imagine this: you’re walking back from the office kitchen with a cup of coffee. Someone bumps into you and—splat!—coffee everywhere. You spilled coffee because coffee was in your cup. If it had been tea, tea would have spilled instead. That moment teaches us something powerful: when life bumps us—through challenges, stress, or unexpected situations—whatever is in our hearts tends to spill out. That’s why Paul encourages us in Colossians 2:6-7 to live rooted in Christ: “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Being “rooted and built up in Him” means our hearts are filled with Christ’s love and strength. When life bumps us, what spills out isn’t frustration or fear—it’s thankfulness. How do we stay full of thankfulness? So the question becomes: how do we stay full of tha...

When God Feels Silent: Trusting Him When We Feel Forgotten

Image
Have You Ever Felt God Is Far Away? Have you ever prayed and felt like God didn’t answer—or even like He wasn’t there at all? We all go through seasons where God feels silent. His voice seems quiet, our prayers seem unanswered, and it’s easy to feel forgotten. Recognise your feelings Sometimes life feels overwhelming, and we wonder if God has left us to face it alone. David knew this feeling well. In Psalm 13:1–2, he cries: “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?” David doesn’t hide his frustration or doubt. He brings his raw, honest emotions to God. And here’s the beautiful truth: God welcomes our honesty. He’s not offended by our questions or doubts—He desires a real, genuine relationship with us. Shift from Despair to Trust David doesn’t stay in despair. Later in Psalm 13:5–6, he chooses trust over doubt: “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing th...

Finding God’s Purpose in Life’s Waiting Seasons

Image
Waiting isn’t wasted—it’s a sacred space where God is quietly at work. In life’s waiting seasons, whether for answers, breakthroughs, or clarity, God is shaping us, strengthening us, and preparing us for what lies ahead. God is at work while we wait As Isaiah 64:4 reminds us: "Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him." Waiting is rarely easy. It can feel frustrating, heavy, or even discouraging. But the truth is this: waiting is not a punishment, nor is it pointless. Instead, it is a purposeful season where God draws us closer, moulds our character, and deepens our trust in Him. Learning patience in a fast-paced world In a world that demands instant results, God’s timing teaches us patience. He invites us to see the waiting room not as a place of delay, but as a classroom for the soul. Here, He does some of His most transformative work—quietly, steadily, and with perfect l...
