Headshave for Cancer 2013

Headshave for Cancer 2013 came and gone. It has been a pretty amazing year, how with each passing day comes new and memorable experiences. Some might be bitter, some might be better, all in all, it has its ups and downs so to speak, which is good for my well being.

I know it does not mean much, but this is what I decided on. Early 2000 I was back in Malaysia still, and a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. I must say he fought the good fight, and it is a relief that he came to know the Lord, and believed. He left his wife and 4 daughters behind, unfortunately. But for now they will live on to tell the story of how this experience changed him, and more so they will meet him again, but not yet.

Earlier today I received an email from a church member...

"I am passing on two prayer requests that Rebecca J brought to our attention:

Rebecca met Anna M and Jack N while on a walk earlier this week and Anna Mae said she wouldn't object to the wider church praying for her. She has recently been diagnosed with a rare cancer of the salivary gland. She is waiting to hear when she will have the expected surgery, followed by radiation treatments.

About 2 weeks ago Anna M’s uncle, Bernie R, younger brother of Peter of our congregation, passed away of cancer in Saskatoon so we could also remember Peter and his family as they mourn this loss.

Thank you for your prayers."

So for the lot out there, prayers go out to those who went through such a calamity in their lives, those who are experiencing such times, and hope the Lord will guide those who are in pain in moments like these.

 

Thanks to Kane and Brandon for joining me in this little cause. Though, I was a little sad when Kane told me that his classmates were saying negative things about his hair today in school. Maybe some day they will know how it feels like to experience such a thing in their lives... Maybe then, they will appreciate an act like this... To remember those we have lost...

My sister says: "think of it as a fresh start..."

And for me it is indeed.

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."
