Long time no post. Haven't posted for around... half a year? Things haven't been going well for me lately, with grades all screwed up and myself not feeling motivated to study. Now that prelims (which always seem to be sooooo far away) are right around the corner, I wonder if everything is too late >_<
Got myself a few private tutors who are doing their best to help me, so hopefully, God willing, I will make it.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I want to share with you all something which happened to my cousin. He was diagnosed with liver cancer (which he kept hidden from us till like 1 week ago, telling us it was a case of kidney stone), and underwent treatment to remove tumour as well as chemotherapy. One week ago, during the blood test, the doctor told him that the cancer cells have spreaded all over his body, and he only have at most 2 weeks to live, giving him the option to try for even more frequent chemotherapy and hope for the best, or just giving up (since chances are slim). He chose the latter.
His girlfriend accepted his decision, and got her church to pray for my cousin(who wasn't a Christian). The next day, my cousin unexpectedly felt better. After going through another blood test, the doctor, who was really puzzled, announced there were no traces of cancer cells in his blood. My cousin, who was supposed to have 2 weeks to live, is on his way to full recovery (and is becoming a Christian of course)
Miracle, or luck? For those of you who still insist that there is no such thing as miracles, I will have nothing more to say. If this doesn't convince you, I don't believe anything else will. Personally, I see this as the former, and this has greatly strengthened my faith in Him. All I pray is that my cousin will completely recover from his ordeal, and more people will take up this faith and share His love. If any of you are interested in taking up this faith, feel free to approach me (or any Christians you know =P)
Matthew, signing off...
ABUNDANT PEACE :)
