The Path / Die Pad

I received this scripture for today, yesterday (or was it the day before?) from someone I know. Before the person knew what decision we will have to take. Today this is so profound to me. You see, God is already in tomorrow. This is something we intend to forget frequently. But this verse gives me such a promise and hope – He is already there, making the path that I must walk on as level as it can be, so that I do not feel like I am climbing a mountain so to speak.

Nou wanneer mens so daaraan begin dink en besef dat die Here reeds in môre is, kan mens nie anders help as om Sy hand in alles te sien nie. Die woorde wat nou deur my kop maal soos ek die skryf, is The path of least resistance. Dis iets wat in die Lego movie gesê was, as ek dit nie mis het nie. Maar dis ook waar van weerlig en water is dit nie? Dit volg die pad van die minste weerstand.

So now I wonder why God placed those words in my mind? Perhaps because we as humans want to choose the path of least resistance? We are inclined to jump ship when the storm gets tough around us, but sometimes we have to stay inside the boat, because that is the safest place for us to be in. If we jump into a rubber lifeboat with paddles, that we have to paddle ourselves, in the midst of a storm, then will we not struggle to stay afloat?

Dis moeilik vir enige mens wanneer hulle voor enige keuse te staan kom. Hierdie hele reis waarop ek is, hoe lank of kort hy ookal gaan wees, voel vir my soos ‘n decision tree met elke tree wat ek gee. Nou die wat al geoudit het en belasting goedjies doen, behoort ‘n decision tree te ken. Dis letterlik wanneer ‘n vraag oor iets gevra word en jy een van twee antwoorde moet kies. Die een antwoord se uitkoms is anders as die ander een sin.

This is how it felt to me thus far. We get to a point and then we have to decide, this way or that way. The only thing with this is, I cannot see the next step, option or choice to be made. Only God can see it. So it is slightly different than my day job, where I can see what each decision leads to, ensuring that the original answer made, is in fact the right one with the right outcome.

Vreemd hoe die lewe werk en draaie maak met ‘n mens? Presies een maand gelede, het ek niksvermoedend na Prof. Benn se spreekkamer gegaan omdat ek ‘n knop in my bors het. Nie ek of my man Heinrich het in ons wildste drome gedink dat die aaklike woord van Borskanker, sou ‘n diagnose wees wat uitgespreek word oor die ding in my lyf nie. Ek het regtig gedink dis net iets wat uitgesny gaan moet word. Wel, toe nou nie!! Maar as ek nie daardie keuse daardie dag gemaak het nie, het ek nie nou hier gesit waar ek sit vandag nie.

God is busy making the way for me. He is letting everything fall into place. I have done very little thus far in this process, except arrive, show whomever what they need to see (i.e. the boobies – yes so many people outside of my marriage have now seen the jewels and gems), listen, process and decide. The doctors’ offices all deal with the medical aid authorisations. They deal with the accounts that are to be paid. We do not have to argue with anyone about anything. They do all of that for us. This is a side of the medical industry that I have not seen or experienced before. We are usually the people having to get authorisations, submit payments, follow up and who knows what with the doctors and the medical aid.

Laaste ding – die Here maak nie net die pad oor die berg nie. Nee, hy breek die brons deure en Hy slaan die ystergrendels stukkend. Hy breek die tronke oop. Dit voel so vir my of dit aansluit by die skrif wat ek gekry het oor Petrus en Silas in die tronk. Dink jy nie hulle wou nie daar wees nie? Dink jy dit was hul droom om in die tronk te wees? Ek dink nie so nie – dis vir seker niemand se droom of bucket list item om in die tronk te wees nie! Net so is dit nie my droom om hierdie pad van Chemo te stap nie, maar ek weet ek moet doen wat ek moet doen, sodat Triple Negative uit my lyf kan kom. Vir seker kan die Here dit net laat verdwyn. Maar, Hy het ‘n ander plan. Dit voel amper te maklik as die ding nou net na ‘n maand verdwyn. Die wonderwerk wat ek reeds sien is dit – die grootte van alles het presies dieselfde gebly sedert my eerste MRI in September tot die CT scan nou in Oktober. As iets aggressief is, dan is die verwagting mos dat dit vinnig groei en versprei, nie waar nie? Wel, die Here het dit gestop! Die sensasie wat ek in die kerk gevoel het toe daar vir my gebid was, was dit! Hy het dit aangeraak en die groei en verspreiding gestop!

I feel like God wants to purify me even more for His greater purpose. I need not fear, because He is on my right hand, holding onto me, supporting me. This now leads me to the next thought – what is part of the purification process? Fire!! I cannot help but think of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who were thrown into the fire. Did you know that the guards that threw them in, died from the heat of the flames? Did you also know that they did not smell of smoke when they got out?

Dis my gebed, dat ek nie eens soos rook sal ruik wanneer die proses klaar is nie. Mag daar min tot geen newe effekte wees. Mag ek elke dag net die Here loof en prys vir Sy goedheid en wonders. Mag ek nog nader aan Hom beweeg in hierdie tyd wat voorlê. Mag Hy die pad gelyk maak en die deure en tralies van die tronk oopbreek. Ek voel amper ook of ek moet afsluit met iets wat in die Fast & Furios flieks gesê word – See you on the other side. Dis wat ek ervaar die Here in my gees laat val. See you on the other side. Hoe die pad na the other side lyk, kan ek nie vir jou sê nie, maar die Here weet.

Life / Lewe

Today’s entry is late. We had to be at the Oncologist at 10, only to see him around 12. It is a waiting game this, and we have learnt to keep ourselves busy and take stuff with to remain occupied. The wonderful news is, the CT scan showed that the Triple Negative has not grown in size, nor has it spread! We are so grateful to God for this!

Ons het vandag ‘n ander deel van die praktyk gesien. ‘n Rustige deel, waar dit nie voel of chaos heers nie. Ek weet nie of dit was omdat ons in die oggend daar was, en almal redelik vars nog was en gevoel het nie (al die ander kere was laat die middag, en ons almal weet mens voel ‘n slump van so 3 uur of 4 uur die middag af). Maar die lang en die kort is, ons het kalmte en vrede ervaar. Iets waarvoor ons gebid het.

We prayed to God that His will be done, not ours. Of course our will is that the CT scan shows nothing and leaving the professors dumb struck. Although, I think they are a little dumb struck by the fact that the tumour has not grown, but it was not said in that many words. If only they knew how hard and long we prayed for a miracle to happen! And this news is the first of many to come I would dare say at this stage.

Ons antwoord waarvoor ons gevra het, het ons vandag gekry. Ons gaan voortgaan met die behandeling. Ons ervaar dat die Here ons daar wil gebruik vir Sy groter wil en koninkryk. Deur Sy genade, kon ons vandag vir ‘n tannie daar bid, dis wat die Here op my man Heinrich se hart gelê het om te doen. Nou wonder jy seker wat het al hierdie goed uit te waai met vandag se bybelversie?

It is simple – if you read carefully you will note that we are laying off our life that we know and have come accustomed to, so that God can be glorified every single step of the day. This is what we feel He wants to do. His healing has and is still taking place every second in every cell in my body. The size of the tumour and the fact that it has not spread (even though it is an aggressive thing this, making it in my mind a fast moving thing) is miracle and healing enough for us. God has got this! And because He has got this, I have got this!

Discussion time again…

So here we are again at Prof Rapoport’s offices. Going to discuss last week’s CT scan and then the way forward.

Not my will but God’s will, ALWAYS!

Believing / Om te glo

Yesterday I did not write or post anything, as I left early in the morning to visit my new breast friend who was admitted to hospital to undergo surgery to remove a lump in her breast. We met the day that we received the diagnosis. So grateful with her, that her lump seems to be something benign. We are praising Jesus all the way for this for her and that He let our paths cross. She lives far, in Nelspruit, so the moment that she was at Millpark, I ceased the moment to visit her! We have only spoken on Whatsapp and briefly saw each other again the other day, probably two weeks ago. Of course, we forgot to take a pic together. But anyway!! We will get there!

Na die hospitaal besoek, was ons stout en het ons gesin gaan fliek. 2 uur op ‘n Maandag middag. Iets wat ons nooit gedoen het nie, maar wat tog nodig was met alles wat aan die gebeur is by ons, die chaos waarin ons gevoel het ons gedompel was. Nie te min, hier is ek nou, besig om ‘n inskrywing te tik oor wat die Here op my hart lê vir vandag. Vandag se vers gaan oor Petrus en waar hy op die water geloop het. Maar toe verloor hy fokus, en kyk na wat die wind aanvang rondom hom, hy begin twyfel, en toe sink hy onder die water in.

I feel I want to mention why I am writing about this and how this was confirmed to me. Just yesterday, I was chatting with a total stranger again on Whatsapp (YES THIS IS WHAT I DO, but not a weird total stranger). I have never in my life met this lady, but we have something in common – the Emotional Intelligence Activator course or programme that we are on. She sent me a message yesterday, saying that she thought of me when she heard a podcast. I replied to it saying that I know I must now stay focussed on Jesus in this whole process. I am not sure if I have already set my foot on the water or whether I am already walking on the water.

Maar een ding weet ek vir seker – ek moet gefokus bly op Jesus. Net Saterdagoggend het ek emosioneel geraak oor die moontlikheid van chemoterapie. Ek het vir my man gesê ek voel of ek nou twyfel oor wat ek gevoel het die Here vir my aanbied. Dis asof ek nie dit wat ek in my hart en gees gevoel het duidelik kan onthou nie. En nou twyfel ek of ek reg gehoor het. Ek voel of ek die Here se naam met ‘n plank gaan slaan, hoe almal vir Hom gaan lag as wat ookal nie gebeur nie en ek wel vir die chemoterapie moet gaan. Hoe mense hul oë gaan rol en sê, ai foeitog, die arme vrou wat so geglo het die Here gaan haar dit spaar en hier is sy nou, besig met dit wat teenstrydig is wat sy vir ons vertel het haar God kan doen, ons glo nie regtig in sulke wonderwerke nie, jy weet….? Ons weet die Here kan wonderwerke doen, maar Hy het nou maar nie hierdie een gedoen nie.

I am not worried about what people will say about me, more that they will believe even less in God. Does this make sense the type of doubt that I have? Anyway, so, back to how I got confirmation of the scripture for today. A friend of ours, sends us daily scriptures of Oom Angus Buchan. Today’s scripture is from this verse. I listened and immediately I thought of this newly found friend, sister in Christ, with whom I had a conversation yesterday about Peter and walking on water. I was busy packing school lunch tins and could not send it to her immediately. I thought I would forward it later when everyone has left.

Wel, toe spring sy my voor. Sy stuur vir my presies dieselfde video aan. Sy vertel my dat haar man daagliks dit vir haar stuur en toe sy dit hoor, toe dink sy aan my. Weereens ken sy nie die persoon wat eerste die boodskap vir my gestuur het nie. Weereens weet nie een van hulle watter boodskappe ek ontvang nie. Toevallig? Ek dink nie so nie! Hoe wonderlik is die Here nie net nie? Ek kan nie help om te dink dat Hy net vir my wil sê dat dit ok is nie. Hy het alles onder beheer! Ek weet Hy het alles onder beheer, maar Hy weet mos hoe is ons as mense, so Hy kom bevestig net oor en oor en oor vir my dat Hy reeds in die situasie is.

With all of this being said, I know that He has this. Something that I have been saying from the start. I have got this because He has got this. At this stage, the medical aid has not approved any treatments. We absolutely see God’s hand in all of this. He has gone before us. In the meantime, while we wait, God has confirmed to me to start putting Castor Oil on the lump. Something that I have been praying to Him, asking Him if it is ok to do so. Here I am, doing it, just being obedient. To the outside world, it does not make sense, but right now I am focussing on Him and what He wants me to do.

Die storm woed om ons. Met allerhande dinge wat gebeur, maar ons kies om te fokus op Jesus. Hy is in beheer. Hy weet hoe die ding gaan eindig. Ons gaan saam met die proses, as die dokters sê ons moet iewers wees, dan is ons daar. Tot die Here die proses stop, is ons in dit. Nie uit ongeloof uit nie, maar uit gehoorsaamheid uit. God has got this. I have got this because He has got this! Don’t think, just do.

I just want to close off with this – I spilt water on my desk pad AND diary on Friday. I never spill fluids around my laptop. But this happened, very early in the month of October, forcing me to look past the water marks on this month’s page until 31 October 2023. Last month it was coffee (luckily only a few drops, but still, enough to make the desk pad look ugly), and that was worse than the water. Immediately after I spilled it, I felt God talking to me, showing me that in September something that stains the paper was spilled, but in October, water was spilled, something that cleanses…. every time I look at this desk pad now, I am reminded of God’s water cleaning everything around me.

God’s fight / God se geveg

As my days on this journey (whether it be a long or short one – a journey is a journey, as you travel from one place to another), as I call it, progress, I cannot help but be reminded of what mere mortals, from the Old Testament, had to do to win significant wars against their fleshly enemies. Moses and all his wonders that he did, with a stutter.

Dawid wat klippe na ‘n swaard geveg neem. Gideon wat klei potte breek. Joshua wat om Jerigo stap en lofprysing doen wat maak dat die mure kraak. Hierdie is maar net ‘n paar waaraan ek nou kan dink en onthou terwyl ek hierdie inskrywing maak. Nou wonder jy seker hoekom ek nou hieraan dink wanneer ek in ‘n ander vleeslike geveg betrokke is? Jy sien, dit maak eintlik glad nie saak watter geveg dit is nie. Of dit teen die Filistyne, Amalakiete of Triple Negative borskanker is nie.

A fleshly fight it will remain. The world’s systems say one thing, but God’s upside-down kingdom says another. As you may (or may not) know, I felt that God pressed on my heart to do random things that don’t make sense at all and to the world, has no significant meaning to the giant that is standing in front of me. Or so it seems. One of them was the Jericho walk we did around the Oncology centre on 28 September 2023.

Ek wonder gereeld by myself, of ek regtig reg gehoor het van God. Dan kom die fluistering van die Heilige Gees in my gedagtes en hart en herinner my aan die skrif verse wat Hy gestuur het. Groot skrifverse. Die tronk se fondamente wat geskud word. Tronk deure wat oopgaan, boeie wat afval. Bevestigings dat Hy in beheer is. Bevestigings dat ek stil moet wees en wag. Wag op God. Ek deel nou glad nie hierdie paragraaf uit ongeloof uit nie, ek deel dit omdat ek heeltyd bevestiging van God kry dat ek nie moet twyfel nie.

You see, this battle is bigger in my mind than anything else. I have to endure symptoms in my body, wondering WHAT is going on inside of me? Wondering why the lymph node feels more and more uncomfortable as the days progress. What do the reports say of the scans and stuff that I did? How is God going to do this thing for us? How is He going to stop Chemo and cure this thing? I do know that it is not going to be the way I have played it out in my mind. It is going to be in a way that only God knows. Something awesome. Something majestic and wonderful. Something we have not even thought of.

Net soos wat ek al hierdie honderde vrae in my kop onder beheer probeer kry, kom daar weer bevestiging. Die keer een week uit mekaar uit. Laas week Vrydag het ‘n baie goeie vriendin van my, Anika, (wie ek gans en al te min sien net so tussen ons), die skrif uit Eksodus gestuur. Vanoggend vroeg, kry ek by ‘n ander tannie, vir wie ek so ‘n spesiale plekkie koester in my hart, dieselfde skrif wat sy voel die Here op haar hart lê om vir my te gee. Tannie Corrie het die skrif, saam met die een uit Lukas uit gegee wat sê – vir God is niks onmoontlik nie.

Again, these two people do not know each other. Again, they are not aware what who has sent to me. Yet, I cannot help but see God’s hand in all of this. I need only be still. He is fighting for me. He has got this. Something I have been saying over and over. When I look at it like this, then I just confirm that there is no room for doubt at all!! Doubt is not from God. That I know. And that is what I must keep out of my mind. God has got this!

Today’s manna / Vandag se manna

Today I fully grasp what it is to live fully dependent on God. Not only physical provision, but also spiritual provision. A friend of ours said a few weeks ago, that God will give us our daily manna, like He did with the Israelites. Just enough to get through this day. How true those words spoken are! You see, yesterday, and even today, I feel a bit of exhaustion. Physical exhaustion. A type of tired that I have never felt before.

Nou die wat my ken, weet dat ek ongelooflik sleg slaap vir jare al. Ek het elke aand enige tyd van middernag af wakker geword. Dan staan ek maar op, loop my draaitjie en klim weer in die bed. Net om weer oor ‘n uur of twee wakker te word, weer ‘n draaitjie te loop, weer te probeer slaap. En so het die proses homself herhaal tot dit opstaan tyd is. Sommige nagte was ek gelukkig en het ek net 2 maal wakker geword, ander kere is dit 3 of 5 keer. Die afgelope paar aande, dalk al seker vir ‘n week, het dit skielik verander. Ek slaap dieper, meer deur, word minder wakker. Nou wonder ek of my lyf nie weet wat om te doen met al die slaap wat hom nou skielik toegeval word nie? Die dat ek so bietjie moeg voel…

Somehow, somewhere, I have this peace that words cannot describe. Even though the circumstances around me try to take my focus away. The worries that the devil try to implant in my thoughts. The wondering why you pay for insurance policies and medical aid, when it is just such a mission to get them to pay things? Why things take so long to progress. Of course the devil tries to plant the worst-case scenario with EVERYTHING in life in my mind. Not only the diagnosis, but also the physical around us. Then I just counter-act that thought saying, WHY on earth, would God give a worst-case scenario like that?

Gisteraand het ek ‘n oomblik met God gehad en al my bekommernisse voor Sy voete gelê. Ek het Hom vertel hoe moeg en uitgeput ek voel. Dis tien teen een ‘n kombinasie van alles – die skok, die adrenalien en wat ookal anders deur mens se liggaam gaan wanneer jy sulke nuus ontvang. Die oomblik wat dit begin insink en jy die realiteite van alles begin besef, dis dan wanneer die uitputting kom. Al die hormone en goed in jou liggaam wat jou dryf om deur situasies te kom, los jou uitgeput en uitgemergel.

This morning, I received this scripture from my dad. With a short message in English, a daily thought and devotional. Shortly after reading it, I prayed to God, asking Him to confirm this message to me. There was a thought from my side, of it being in Afrikaans when He confirms it, thinking that it would be special like that. Now, like I know God, He does not disappoint – He confirmed the EXACT same scripture in Afrikaans, from another person, whom I have never met in person (we met her husband at the Oncologist’s office last week). There was again, no way that she would have known that my dad would send me this scripture.

Ten spyte van alles wat om ons aangaan, die digte mis wat ons voel ons in beweeg, weet ons net dat ons na God se stem moet luister. Die plek waar ek geestelik is, is vir my so lekker om te wees, ongeag my omstandighede, ongeag die simptome wat ek voel in my liggaam, ongeag die fisiese moegheid na die adrenalien uitgewerk is. Die op en af ryery na Rosebank en Milpark toe elke ander dag, help ook glad nie vir die moegheid nie, maar nou ja. Dit is wat dit is. Ek is hier. In hierdie situasie. Ek het dit nie gekies nie, maar, toe ek Jesus gekies het, het ek enige omstandigheid wat oor my pad kom indirek gekies en gekies om Hom te vertrou binne in daardie omstandighede. So vir geen oomblik sê ek ja vir enige iets wat sleg is nie, ek weet net, dat die pad van die Here nie maklik is nie, dis nie ‘n rose tuin vol prag nie. Maar, wanneer jy in daardie omstandighede is, kry jy net krag om aan te gaan. Dis Goddelik en dis wat die Here wil hê. Volle vertroue in Hom, veral in hierdie daunting omstandighede.

I am still not taking ownership of the diagnosis, because that implies that it is my thing to carry, worry about and care for. Which is not what I want to do. This is God’s battle. I have got this because He has got this. Words that I have been uttering since the first time this was diagnosed. This thing is for sure a battlefield of the mind. Mind over matter. This is where one has to mentally submit all to God, all our thoughts. You see, there is a song, sung by Josh Wilson – Things that I’m afraid of. This is my song for today. The things that I am afraid of, are afraid of You.

In die tussen tyd, kies ek steeds om die Here te loof en te prys. Ek doen wat ek moet om deur die dag te kom. So bietjie day job goed, bietjie Beroepsvrou goed, tyd saam met die kinders maar meerendeels, tyd saam met God. Ek drink elke woord in van elke liedjie wat oor die luidspreker in my kantoor speel. Ek hoor selfs hoe God daar met my praat. Skielik kan ek vereenselwig met die lirieke wat die kunstenaars sing – kan ek hoor hoe hul gevoel het in daardie oomblik.

The fight / Die geveg

Yesterday I did not get round to writing anything about scripture, because we left our house at 6h30 the morning, to arrive in Rosebank at 8h30 for blood tests. After that we hung around, had breakfast, did a little bit of work on our laptops, all the while waiting for the CT scan at 14h00. I read yesterday’s verse to my husband, and said that this tells me that God honours obedience.

Vandag se oordenking is dus oor gister se versie op die Bybel Toepassing, net met ‘n paar ekstra verse by, om die konteks beter te verstaan. Nou ek weet al vir jare dat ons geveg nie in die fisiese vlees is nie, maar eerder in die gees. Ek is baie lief daarvoor om die Amplified weergawe te lees, want die woorde wat daar gebruik word en die ekstra verduidelikings in hakkies, voel net so gepas. Wie sou ooit kon raai dat ek oor woorde liries sou raak? In die vers, praat dit van wat ons wapens is.

I love the words used – our weapons are divinely powerful. Emphasis on divinely. And then it goes on to say that it destructs fortresses, sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God. I cannot help but think, to draw this scripture to the treatments that are being discussed. Very sophisticated terminology is used during this process. The word fortress also stands out to me. A fortress is a place that no one can enter easily, is it not?

Nou ek kan nie help om te dink dat die diagnose wat gemaak is, soos ‘n fort is nie. Dis nie ‘n tipiese kanker gewas nie, dus is die behandelingsplan anders. Daar moet eers ‘n chemiese middel gegee word wat die ding swak maak, voor hy aangeval gaan word. Dis die fisiese wapens. Tog kan ek nie help om te hoor dat die Here vir my die klem lê op ons wapens en waar ons oorlog is nie. Dis nie in die vlees nie. Dis in die gees. Dis waar ons oorlog voer, deur gebed, lofprysing en aanbidding.

I want to close off – what war are you facing at this stage in your life? Are you trying to fight it with the natural, physical fleshly things? Or are you fighting this thing with prayer, praise and worship music? Singing songs for joy, irrespective of your circumstances. To me, this battle that I am in, is one in my mind. The devil keeps on wanting to create fears with What if questions. What if this, that and the next is actually happening in your body? What if God does not come through for you, after you posted things publicly? What if things don’t go the way you had hoped they would?

So kan ek aangaan met die Wat As vrae. Maar ek sal liefs nie. Ek weet die Here eer gehoorsaamheid. Al die goed wat ons gedoen het die afgelope ruk, wat nie sin gemaak het nie. Maar tog het ons dit deurgevoer. Want dis wat die Here wil hê en verwag – net gehoorsaamheid. Die versie bevestig ook dat elke gedagte gevange geneem sal word en sal buig voor Koning Jesus. Elke ongehoorsaamheid sal gestraf word. Gehoorsaamheid sal geëer (is die spelling reg?) word.

Wow, we cannot wait to see how God is going to turn this situation that we are in, around and what He will be doing! I still don’t think our brains can fathom the greatness of God! All I know is, every thought not from God, will be held captive and will bow before King Jesus!
