Do you take care of your health?

Jesse (my son), Kathleen (my wife) and I spent almost a whole day in UMMC yesterday. Jesse has been experiencing coughs, flu and fever for more than a month. At the last visit to the family doctor, he noticed some growth in his throat. He suspected an enlarged adenoid.

That was before the week-long Deepavali and Hari Raya holiday. The ENT specialist in UMMC took a look and decided the growth is to big to be there. He immediately schedule Jesse for a surgery on 23 Nov 2005. He also made an appointment for Jesse to get a CT Scan on 10 Nov 2005. It could be adenoiditis or nasal polyps. The pathology will determine the cause. Please pray for him. He's only 11. He's sicked of taking medicine and is afraid of the surgery.

The daughter of my faithful prayer parther, Grace is cleared of dengue. Onn, a fulltime church worker is not. Onn is in the Selayang Hospital (website is under construction.) His father-in-law passed away on the previous Saturday (05 Nov 2005). Onn has arranged for the full moon celebration for his son on 12 Nov 2005. We pray that God will heal him and restore him in time.

I am one who doesn't really pay attention to my health. I eat all I want, work all I want and sleep as little as I want. It's not very healthy.

This month, the theme of the sermons in the church (CBCPJ) is based on the book of Job. It's about the sufferings we face and how to look for wisdom amidst all the sufferings.

Let's remember France in our prayers too.

We believe God heard Jesse's cry and knew exactly the fear in him, of the surgery informed by the doctor.However,thro' this situation,Jesse's faith has encouraged many.

In the meanwhile,we trust God is a merciful God,and He is in control of the whole situation.Surely an all able God like Him can heal....

We'll continue to plead His Great Mercy and Sovereignty upon Jesse boy
and believe God allows the best...
