In need of mercy...

thank you for praying for my mom's paracentesis last tuesday.  my mom came back to us, even if it was only for several hours that day.  she was able to sit up and talk with her brother, who was visiting from taiwan.  we praise God for that intimate moment they were able to share.

our mom has become increasingly weak, and more in pain.  it has been so hard seeing her like this.  i don't even have the words to pray anymore...and find myself crying everytime i try.  we are desperate for His mercy.  as simon said earlier, we do not know how many days our mom has left, but her life is in God's hands.

please pray for this weekend.  matthew and sharon will be coming to houston.  please pray that my mom would be strengthened, and it would be an encouraging time for our family.

"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express."

-Romans 8:26
