Waiting


Hi my friends! I have much to share...I think I'll try to post some pictures today and hope to write more soon.

Puji Tuhan (Bahasa-Indonesian for "Praise the Lord!")! I have been discharged from the hospital and am trying to heal quickly. Many of you don't know that I was hospitalized last Saturday, about 24 hours after I returned to Singapore from Indonesia. We decided to go to the hospital after I collapsed and then blacked out. It was such a weird feeling...I thought I had been sleep-walking or something, then I heard people trying to help me but I couldn't really even move. Thankfully the illness didn't take effect until I got back "home", since the medical facilities in S'pore are exceptional; after running several tests the doctor determined my condition to be the result of a bacteria infection - I figure those little guys were looking for a free ride to Singapore! But they sure put me out-of-commission for awhile - dehydration and the works! I still feel very weak and am suffering from severe headaches. Thank you for your prayers. I had to postpone my trip to Cambodia, and I'm still hoping to go. But the Lord has us wait sometimes.




Here are some more photos from Banda Aceh:

The white-tiled floor building is the Kindergarten we have just completed...I'll be painting the outside with colorful pictures during my next trip to Aceh.

Asha,
Puji Tuhan! You have been in our prayers for complete recovery. Everyone is asking how you are doing. We know this is a time for you to slow down...the Lord will move you forward when the time is right. Please rest and meditate on God's word and the work he has for you to do. The time to be the doer will come soon. We love you.

This is Ben in new castle. I am very happy that you have recovered and I so enjoyed the photos and I am jealous of your being in Asia. I have spoken to your Dad and he wants me to come to your church and share abosut Islam. I am only unhappy about one think onn your site that the red and other color scripts I was not able to read due to some type of distortion.

"Father I pray that Ash will find that intimacy in You and that ehr body will heal.Amen.

Ben
