心臟開刀三周年

三年前的今天，8月13日，我接受了心臟手術。今天剛剛是三周年。四個禮拜前的今天，我也接受了右乳和腋下淋巴摘除手術。所以今天是一個特別的日子。

一路走來，雖然有驚險，但有神跡，有沮喪自憐，也有信靠的學習，偶爾又會泛起一些疑問，總的來說，心情是平安和覺得蒙愛和受保護的。所經歷過的，常常會催促我到神面前醒查自己內裡的情況，有些東西會被潔淨，有些會沉澱下來；故此，一切都值得感恩。

這次手術的康復來得比預期的慢， 我在學習忍耐的功課；今早收到王其昌牧師師母的來言鼓勵， 他說: 忍耐是 "waiting in faith for a better outcome from God than what we wish for". Hang in there. 
 是的，不但Hang in， 更要趁此機會與主共盪鞦韆：)

To day is a special day, Aug 13 2012, 3 years ago, I went thru an intensive heart surgery;  4 weeks ago, I had the modified radical mastectomy.

In all these days, there were miracles for risky moments; feeling down, self pity, depressed and faith learning moments.  Overall, I have great peace, felt protected and beloved by God and by friends.  What I experienced drove me to examine the inner situation, then there are moments of being cleansed, and some treasure will be sinking; in one word, all happened to me worthy to be thankful.

The recovery process of the mastectomy is slower than expected, so being patient is something I am learning, this morning, received an encouraging email from Rev. and Mrs. Johnny Wang, he wrote:

Dear Esther,

My understanding of "Patience" is "waiting in faith for a better outcome from God than what we wish for". Hang in there.

Yes, I will take this opportunity not only hanging there, but try to swing with my Lord.
