Battleship Possible - God is able!

For a bit of fun, I dredged AI to give me a design for ”battleship possible”. Among the various choices, I was particularly drawn to this one (see below). I rather like the clean lines, which has a bit of art deco flair to it. 🤔 Hmmm, come to think of it, I could also get this made into a wearable. Especially to be worn as a prophetic proclamation during treatment and consult days.

Mid August 2023, I had returned to see Dr Chuwa (breast surgeon) , for the PET CT scan report. She looked at me to break the news that it was stage 4, spread to both lungs, and therefore she won’t be operating on me. She had also taken the liberty to call Dr Dent, my oncologist, to formally hand me over to her. She informed that she asked Dr Dent to get me on a clinical trial asap for new drugs, and make me one of the few ”longer term survivors”. Then she exhorted me to have a fighting spirit and not to give up. Everything was just too surreal for me, and I was probably too numb to react in any polarized manner of emotion. The rest of the day was a blur of activities as I rushed back to the East, to CGH, to get my records cut into a CD.

As the news began to sink in, I took stock of the entire context, including how I was prodded to go for a mammogram, to discovering the 2 specialists. I knew that I knew in my heart, that my time is not up. I resolved to face my greatest existential crisis head-on. To hell with the statistics! I decided I would be the outlier, and I will be healed.

Picking up my Bible , I sought the Lord and was reminded that “all things are possible with God”. The primary Bible verse stating "all things are possible" is Matthew 19:26, where Jesus says, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (ESV). This verse emphasizes that what is humanly impossible—specifically salvation and overcoming trials—becomes possible through God's power.

Another key verse is Luke 1:37, which states, "For nothing will be impossible with God".

Mark 9:23: "And Jesus said to him, 'If you can! All things are possible for one who believes'".

Jeremiah 32:17: "Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you".

So I told my Heavenly Father, ”Nothing is too hard for you. You are more than able. You’re God and the doctors are men. They say there are limitations, but nothing is impossible for you“. And I simply believed.
