I started with catching up on housework.
Isaiah had practice in the morning and the coach made the team stay at school to study in the afternoon.
Abby stayed home to study.
After getting some housework done, I went for a quick run. It wasn't raining but it was relatively cool.
In the afternoon, Alan and I went to visit a dear couple, Irwin and Stephanie. Irwin has a very rare form of cancer and it has now started to attack his vital organs. The western doctors gave him nine months to live. We are fervently praying for God to heal him. After reading this, I invite you to, please, pray for Irwin Jao!
It was difficult for both of us to see him. Alan was about to cry when we first walked into their dining room where Irwin was sitting. He has lost some weight. He has no energy. Irwin was part of Alan's first discipleship group here in Taiwan. I led Stephanie to Christ and she later joined my discipleship group. We were all a part of Evergreen International Fellowship.
On October 1st, they celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary. That was the same day when Irwin started to feel very bad -- swollen tongue, bloated abdomen, lack of appetite, vomiting. They have decided to seek holistic medicine as the western doctors have said that 'it's too late' because Irwin is so physically weak.
God gave Irwin his first breathe and He knows when Irwin will take his last. We trust in His mercy and love and grace and goodness.
Seek Him First!
