Prayer requests

my mom had a great weekend!  so many people came to visit: her oldest sister from taiwan, her older brother from cali, my cousin from NYC...along with bryan, his mom, and miho.  we'll have to give a more detailed post later (along with pics!), but i just wanted to ask y'all for special prayer tomorrow (11/4), as our mom will receive her second dose of chemo.

praise God that she was able to tolerate the first chemo fairly well!  she had some nausea, but by God's grace it didn't keep her down.  please pray for the following

• pray that God would protect her from the side effects of the chemo.  the side effects are usually cumulative, and could get worse with each treatment.  pray that God would allow her to not feel the side effects

• pray for continued strength and encouragement for our mother 

• pray that God would continue to heal her completely from the cancer!  we understand that there is no medical cure, but we do not want to let up in asking God for a miracle that only He can give.

thanks again so much for all of you who have been praying for our mother, and for those who have been fasting alongside us.  it means so much, and we truly believe that God is hearing your prayers and sustaining our mother.  may God continue to get all the glory!  God is good!
