My Thoughts on Choosing to Live
However, since those entries will disappear as soon as I replace them with new entries, here's the short version of my week.
Mama and my brother Roy Lee arrived this past Tuesday for a 2-week visit. This week we visited rain forests, mountains, downtown Brisbane, the Gold Coast beach and enjoyed a proper "Devonshire Tea". We laughed together, cried together, prayed together and generally had a good time.
A potential major breakthrough or two at work give us optimism about the future of the company. Physically I had more trouble than usual with nausea this week than normal. The doctor has slightly adjusted my medications for that so we'll see if it gets back under control in the next few days. I've also had a problem this week with hiccups, which make me more likely to throw up if they coincide with nausea. That makes it harder to gain the weight the doctor wants me to gain, so it's a problem.
The coolest thing for me this week was the regular monthly district prayer time here on the Australia Northern Pacific District of the Church of the Nazarene. Mama requested prayer for my healing at the meeting, and prayed with her usual fervor and emotion, which kind of drew everyone else into her pain and desire and faith. The group that gathered around me ranged from strangers to new friends to deep old friends, but they all poured out their hearts and love on me a foreigner who had not yet given much to them. As they prayed for my hiccups, the hiccups vanished and haven't come back.
I felt their faith and their love and the healing presence of God for the hiccups and was encouraged to believe it might not be the only miracle he has in store for me.
Roy Lee's largest expression of love for me was the astonishing gift of his own very nice laptop computer. I'm amazed at the openness and generosity of his precious heart.
All in all, a lot of small things pointing to the possibility of big things ahead. It was a week of increased joy, hope and faith.
