I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you very much to all of our friends and family who have given, sacrificed, gone the extra mile, babysat, gave us financial gifts, ran errands, cooked us meals, and more. You are all so awesome. It is a humbling and touching thing for us to be recipients of your grace and love.
I’d like to take this moment to share some thanksgivings and prayer requests:
- I’m thankful that I seem to be getting stronger everyday. My articulation is good, with just a tiny bit of slurring when I’m tired. Of course, I don’t speak as fast as I used to. They say that the big muscles come back first. The fingers, however, will come back last. I am concerned about my left hand if I’m to play piano again. Please pray for my recovery.
- I thank God for my wonderful wife who stood beside me night and day. Please pray for her to have supernatural strength and wisdom.
- I’m grateful to God for my kids. They are surprisingly resilient and don’t seem to be bothered that Daddy is weak. They are confident that Jesus will make me strong again.
- Please pray for my upcoming doctor’s appointment. I need an Ear Nose Throat doctor to take a look at my vocal cords and the ringing in my ears.
- Pray also for my speech therapy since God was so gracious to preserve most of my speech. I’ve already surpassed the level of most speech therapists; however, I have unique concerns since I speak and sing for a living. We are not sure if the insurance will cover the therapy with the voice specialist. They are hard to find and we may have to go to San Francisco or UC Davis.
- Since our God is the God of the impossible and can perform miracles far beyond our wildest imaginations, please pray that I will be an even better husband, father, and minister than I was before.
- Lastly, please pray that God will heal me so completely that someday I can even go without the heavy duty medications.
Thank you again! God bless you.
