Be Still
It has been just over a week now that Luan has been home. The medical team from Hospice visits every day to administer palliative care and monitor the situation. More fistulas have appeared. Due to her excruciating pain, a high dosage of morphine has to be given. Her stomach has not been able to absorb the nutrients the last two days.We thank the Lord for a good night nurse and nurse friend who have helped relieve the family. Many relatives and friends from far and near have visited and prayed. Chris is thankful for all your support.
Yet at this time Chris reminded the church that whatever the outcome, to remember that “God is sovereign. He is still good and He knows what is best and nothing can separate us from His love. Let us continue to be faithful to the Lord Who will work all things together for good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Should the Lord choose to take Luan home, it is not death but will be that the Lord has taken her. I want the church to celebrate His goodness. For me to live is Christ.”
When Chris asked her what she wanted to tell Jesus, she replied, (that I will) stay faithful. Indeed the last few days she expressed that her desire was to be a woman of faith. We indeed praise the Lord for this dear faithful sister in the Lord. What a testimony to Him!
In the words of brother Chris, “It has been a journey of growth for each of us as much as for Luan. You have walked with me but it’s also a journey I have to walk with Luan and then for her to walk by herself. The Lord has prepared me. Thank you for your concern.”
Ps 46:10 Be still and know that I am God.

Dear Chris & Luan,
The Saviour Is By Your Side
"From the moment we're born until our final breath, pain is our companion, albeit one we'd choose to abandon.
But may I remind you that you cannot have a heartache Jesus doesn't understand and with which He doesn't identify. You cannot have a physical pain that somehow escapes His awareness. You cannot have a crippling disease, a disability.....not even a debilitating fear or panic attack that He cannot understand or feel. He's felt it all. Therefore He's there to walk with you through your most profound depths of pain, if you'll only let Him." Chuck Swindoll
We can pray for healing for you but right now I will pray that the presence of Jesus will be very real to you and your family. He will be your comfort and strength.
You all are very much in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Swee Mei
