The Countdown Begins...

Believing in His promises daily


Five days till surgery… Life has been so full, and it is a little difficult for us to switch gears right now. Most things seem to be set in place, and we are thankful for our network of friends who have helped us prepare the practical side of things which include: a place to stay while in Kuala Lumpur where Daryl will have his surgery, a car for us to use for the time we are back in Malaysia, and a place to stay in Ipoh where we will spend most of our time during Daryl’s recovery period.  In the meantime, Daryl is sitting for his semester finals this week (8-12 Dec), preparing for his class fundraising meal that is scheduled for this Friday (12 Dec), and will be attending the high school Christmas banquet this Saturday (13 Dec). We get on the plane to return to Malaysia on Sunday (14 Dec), and he checks into the University Malaya Specialist Centre for his surgery on Monday (15 Dec).

As the time draws nearer, we are thankful for:
       -  A loving heavenly Father who is leading us, providing for us, and assuring us of His divine     
         sovereignty
       -  A loving community of family and friends who are sharing their time and resources with us,
   giving to us, and praying for us

Updates throughout the surgery on Monday will be posted on this blog for those who have committed to pray for Daryl. We ask for your continued prayers that he will be in the best possible shape physically when he goes into the OT. As it is, he has weathered a mild case of dengue 4 weeks ago and a minor motorbike accident 1 week ago…. Thankfully, he’s bounced back very quickly from these two incidences but there are 5 more days to go – lots can happen between now and then! Indeed, we are keenly aware that we walk each and every day in the sheer grace of our Lord and Saviour…
