Hello - 30 August

Hi everyone. Jo and I had a busy weekend. We attended the 4th Saturday Healing mass at CSC last saturday. It was also a celebration of Fr. Gino's 50th year of his priestly Golden Jubilee. It was a grace fill celebration. The Archbishop, Fr Simon, Fr Bill Heng and Fr William celebrated the Eucharist. It was a lovely celebration. Room was packed about 120% of the usual crowd! 'Father, Glorify they son that the son may glorify thee' John 17:1 was on the souvenior card. It was really a beautiful celebration. After communion, Fr Gino prayed for those present and his final words was for all to pray; "Lord Jesus grant me full healing" He was such a humble person and so full of holiness and peace.

I mentioned that there was this nagging ache, caused by the muscle tightness at the back of the neck. It caused the left shoulder blade to ache, the neck to ache and the back of the head to ach too. took Celebrex between Thursday and Sunday, helped some but the ache came back every morning. Decided to see Dr Kong today, he was concern and wanted a brain MRI and spine scan done. Scheduled it for Tuesday 4.15pm and will see him on 1 Sept at 11am. schedule is tight as Dr Kong will be leaving on 1 Sept afternoon for a 3 days conference. I will hold on to Fr Gino's message" Lord Jesus grant me full healing". The MRI will see if there is a need for radiology to be done on the 'growth' in the brain, the last time (2 month ago) there were some small cell, the original 2 from last year had shrunk. The Spine scan is to determine the cause of these aches on the neck and shoulder. I pray for full healing and hold on to God's promise (John 11:4) I hope that some of these sharing and reflection over the past months give glory to God and Jesus.

I am staying positive as that's what God expects of me. I am going for the MRI tomorrow to determine the source of the aches and/or confirm that nothing is wrong. Jo thinks that I am getting too much radiation with these frequent test, I agree but I want to take a proactive step, with a careful doctor that God has given me to do all that's needed to be healed! I cannot sit around and wait,hoping... I believe that I need to take an active step to seek treatment if necessary early to work with God in His plan. I ask that you (and I am grateful to each of you) pray for me and my family that we remain grounded and hold-on to this wonderful faith that the Father has granted and keep us a close loving family. Thank You and God Blessing be upon you.

In closing tonight I wish you Peace and Love of the Father. AMEN
