urgent prayer request

please pray for my fren, tian lin as he's struggling now. his dad is suffering from failure of both kidneys and needs a transplant asap. the problem his family is facing now, is not just looking for suitable kidneys, but financial difficulties too...the fact tt his family is living in myanmar isn't helping becos they don't even have a dialysis machine. tian lin's dad is getting weaker so let's uphold him in prayers yah? tian lin's uncle is willing to give him one kidney if his dad is able to come over to chiangmai as his uncle doesn't have a passport to go over. tian lin's unable to donate his kidney as they aren't suitable...let's pray for:
  1. God to be merciful to tian lin's father and comfort him & that he'll continue to trust our Heavenly Father as he is gng thru pain and suffering;
  2. tian lin, who's studying in chiangmai and probably upset tt he is unable to be with his father at this moment;
  3. God to provide them with the financial help tt they need;
  4. God to comfort the hearts of his family who's in myanmar now & tt they'll continue to trust our Almighty God;
  5. each of them to be willing to accept God's will and remember tt His will is best, no matter what happens.

indeed, our God is able. He's the Great Physician and it is Him and only Him who can heal tian lin's father. let us just continue to uphold our brother-in-Christ & his family in prayer...

  • A time to catch up with Gwyneth
    Yup, and talk about things that have been happeneing recently with fresh new insights about the whole matter. I pray that they will understaand aand things woud turn out for the better.
  • Talking to Theresa
    It made me realise that how similar out situations are alike. Looking at another person making similar mistakes made me realise that I have to walk out of this cave because I would be facing the dead-end soon.
  • Movie with Richard
    Made me realise that I am not the same girl anymore who will indulge in sin anymore. It just dosen't feel right to go clubbing with him like i used to.

Prayer Request
  • Mum
    That I will not be a stmbling block for her to go to church and finally see the simple truth that there IS a God who cares for her. And Oh yes, and an open mind to let go of my Grand mother's faith.
  • My brother
    His case is unique, ok, he's kinda an athist. So, I pray that he will understand what is true and what are just plain lies/hoax (eg. the 4th Gospel by Mary Magdalene..)
  • My cousin
    Managed to speak to him yesterday, I pray that his business would be successful, which will provide for his family and my nephew's studies overseas.
  • For Direction
    I need to know where God wants me in life. Please point me to where I should go, which electives to take and whether to study or to work when I graduate in about 6 months time.

His grace...

just so grateful to God for allowing me to pass my supp paper...i've been so worried abt having to stay back for anor sem...but thank God for His mercies and grace : )

indeed, He keeps His promise and He answers prayers...

Jehovah Jireh, my Provider, His grace is sufficient for me...

Things that I'm thankful for
- Travel Agent's meeting went on without a glitch
The lady was very nice. She gave a lot of travel tips that helps a muddle headed person like me. Nothing nastry about her as well
- Payment to the travel agent has been settled
I'm not worried anymore, because the trip is confirmed confirmedm, any glitches can be solved internally so long as it does not concern the travel agent. 'Cept that everyone going for the trip has to form out $80 to the school (Thank God it can be done after the trip). Therefore nobody is backing out at the las minute.
- Pauline
a girl in Heatwave who would always remind me that God comes first before work.

Prayer Requests
- There would be a way where everyone who went to the trip would not have to pay the additional $80 dollars because Daryl and a few of the people who are going cannot afford. God... please provide
- Journey mercies for all who are going on the educational trip
- Let me have a chance to witness to others and learn more about trusting, relying and depending on God for everything.
- My long time friend Eric would be safe. and saved. God will also provide for him and his family.
