"In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation." -- Psalm 5:4
Hello friends:
Reiterating our thanks and our gratitude for your many prayers and words of encouragement in our time of need. The support we have received from brothers and sisters around the world has been nothing less than mind-blowing. I know all of you are praying for a miracle on my behalf and I know that our God is able and that's why I am waiting in expectation.
This past Friday has been my fourth chemo treatment and this week my week off which is always welcomed. My body gets to rest and I get to have a little bit more energy for a few days. But the week after is evaluation week. So, we're asking all our prayer warrior friends out there to petition the Provider, our great and awesome God, to do something that will blow the mind of the medical staff at Sloan Kettering because I can't wait to let them know how it happens when they can't believe it: That we have a God for whom nothing is too difficult, too hard or impossible.
So, let's keep on praying and wait in expectation!
Last week was rough emotionally. I broke down more than a couple of times feeling a little useless, a bit of self pity, and just being a taker and having not much to offer in return. My wife had to remind me that I am listening to the wrong individual. A message that I preached to others many a time, she was preaching to me and she was right. So I had to clear my mind and reset it on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Thank God, I was able to recalibrate and take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ. This is another battle that is being waged, the most important one indeed, and it must be won but not without the help of God. So I'm still learning to trust, I'm still learning to surrender, I'm still learning to depend on God. So please, pray for me about that too.
