Yes, it's been a while since I updated this site. This has been a rather busy phase, which is no excuse for withholding God's praises.
Generally speaking, it's been kind of a bizarre time. Following my ultrasound, the doctor's office called me to book an appointment to discuss my test results. It turns out the ultrasound revealed some scarring on my prostate, for which there is no treatment (nor an ongoing concern). According to my sister, a medical doctor, some strange things can happen during birth or other parts of life that have no bearing on our health but are otherwise abnormal. The prime concern, however, is that my urine doesn't always stay in my bladder and was observed to retreat back through my ureter and into my kidneys, which explains some of the pain I've experienced lately. So tomorrow I have more tests, including bloodwork. I am convinced that this will not prevent me from pursuing my studies this fall, but it seems like an endless process at the moment. But God is faithful and has managed to book appointments at lightning speed, given the snail's pace of our medical system here in Canada. It would seem that all these issues will be put to rest by summer's end, and for that I look forward with thanksgiving.
But I do have a pretty cool praise note from earlier this week.

I visited a great aunt who had been in the hospital for five weeks with an irregular heartbeat. I prayed on her before leaving, and the very next morning tests revealed that her heart rate had finally slowed to a normal pace. Miracles still happen, people! This is not the first time that God has brought healing upon someone I prayed on, and it's not the kind of thing I could conceive to boast about--I'm just the vessel, after all--but it sure is surreal and never gets old.
Praise you, Lord!
