Updates

I must apologise to all, but all visitations will be limited for now.

At this stage, Jo
- can hardly walk or stand
- is very weak
- is extremely tired all day
- she sleeps some 22 hours a day and wakes occasionally
- is on liquid diet as she's been on the last 2 weeks

The water is still draining quite well @ 2 litres per day.
We've also got a nurse and doctor (from the Assissi Home) that makes visitations at least once a week to oversee Jo's condition.

Jessica and MIL are here the next 2 days to help me with my busy schedule for this short time being. I just want to get through this week...

Please pray for His Will to be done in her life. Please pray for Jessica, FIL and MIL cos' I know it's extremely tough with them as it is for me.

"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

A Hymn

Lead gently, Lord, and slow,
For oh, my steps are weak,
And ever as I go,
Some soothing sentence speak;

That I may turn my face
Through doubt’s obscurity
Toward thine abiding place,
E’en tho’ I cannot see.

For lo, the way is dark;
Through mist and cloud I grope,
Save for that fitful spark,
The little flame of hope.

Lead gently, Lord, and slow,
For fear that I may fall;
I know not where to go
Unless I hear thy call.

My fainting soul doth yearn
For thy green hills afar;
So let thy mercy burn—
My greater, guiding star!

Hey, I visit you guys in my prayers often and will continue to pray to our Lord for his comfort, peace and most importantly his tangible presence in your midsts.

Romans 8:26 (NASB): In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

Hi, I just chanced upon your blog from a link in SGforums. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Hope you find strength in this very tough time. It's wonderful that you both are surrounded by loved ones and have had quite a journey together. Bless you all!

Say the Word…. And I will sing for You…. Over Oceans deep…. I will follow
If each star was a song… And every breath of wind praise…It would still fail by far to say… All my heart contains… I simply live…. I simply live for You.

Chorus :
As the glory of Your presence …now fills this place
In worship we will meet You… Face to face

There is nothing in this world to which you can be compared
Glory on glory… Praise upon praise

You bind the broken-hearted… And Save all my tears
By Your Word…. You set the Captive Free

There is nothing in this world that You cannot do.
I Simply live… I simply live for You.
-G.Ng (praying for u both)

It's so inspiring that many have broken into song to sing in unison with you during this next step...

Alex and Jo, whatever God has planned and Will, let it be done.

By inspiring so many through your unyielding faith, you have already done His bidding in more ways than one.

May His light shine on you both now, and always. Amen.

We met briefly through a mutual friend, DD, in CEFC. My wife and I have been regularly praying for both of you.

Standing on God's Word, we proclaim His sovereignty over this difficult time. In Jesus name, Amen

Dearest Jo & Alex,

You walk in His light,
With strength and faith,
You touch many hearts,
With love each day.

God keeps you both,
Enclosed in his fold,
Your journey of faith,
Has moved my soul.

A friend

Blessed are they who put their trust in God... Psalm 2:12.

I'm 19 this year, and have been following your blog ever since before I lost my mother to ovarian cancer last year... when I was searching for information on pien tze huang (TCM). I commented twice before I believe, but somehow they never showed up.

Your determination and trust in God moves me. I will keep praying for you. Please do not give up. Our God is our salvation and hope, we shall fear nothing.
