God gave our family a
wonderful evening to celebrate last week – Dad and Mom’s 50th
wedding anniversary!! We five siblings,
including Paul and our sister-in-law Rhesa, were all together at one place for
the very first time ever! Many of our
beloved family on Dad’s side and Dad and Mom’s life-long friends around
the Brisbane area were there to help us surprise Dad and Mom with this special
celebration and to bring together a wonderful meal to share. Our hearts are
overflowing with joy at God’s grace to us. Please pray for Dad as his cancer
has spread to his lungs and to the area around his liver and intestine. He
started back on his chemo last week and straight away started experiencing
severe cramping in his feet and his calf muscles at night time and fluctuations
in his blood pressure. Please pray for Dad and for all of us as a family as we
take things one day at a time in this journey with Dad’s cancer and as we keep
trusting our Lord for whatever plans He has.
Jubab is getting into a good routine and
balance with his Gr 11 studies and other activities. He is also having a bible
study at school every Monday and he is growing heaps in our Lord Jesus and the
thing that is characterizing Jubab since he returned from his Teen Missions
trip to Hungary is his joy in the Lord and the freedom he is experiencing in
his walk. This is an extract from an
update Jubab wrote when he came home last month: “Pray for me in these areas: Learning to be within
God’s will, not turning to the right or the left, but even in the smallest
thing walking with Him. I’m giving my all for Jesus, I’m going in with arms
high and heart abandoned.”
This is our prayer too! Praise God!!
