9 February 2011 - Praise & Prayer from Robert & Dara Peh

“My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips: When I remember Thee upon my bed, and meditate on Thee in the night watches. Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice” (Psalm 63:5-7, KJV).

OUR GOD IS ALWAYS SO GOOD AND SO FAITHFUL! He has so graciously provided all our needs. He has once again shown Himself to be a loving and caring Father to His children. GLORY TO HIS NAME!

Thank you for your prayer for Dara’s treatment last week (31 Jan – 2 Feb 2011) and for her recovery. After the treatment, Dara was given Levothyroxine, Calcium and vitamin D tablets for daily intake. For a better understand of Levothyroxine medication, click this link: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682461.html.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a682461.html

At the moment, she is experiencing some side effects caused by the medication, such as headache, nausea, lack of energy, slow of speech, feeling cold. Besides, she is having pain around the area that was operated in December 2010. Pray that the pain will be gone soon. On Tuesday (8 Feb) she was extremely weak physically and emotionally down. THANK GOD! She was slightly better the next day (9 Feb). We will be returning to Thailand on Thursday (10 Feb). The aeroplane will be taking off at 3 pm and arrive at Bangkok at 6 pm. We will be transiting at Bangkok airport at 9 pm, and arriving at Chiang Mai at 10 pm (Thailand time). Pray that God will grant her the additional strength to cope with the long journey and remove the headache and nausea from her. The journey from Chiang Mai to the Christian Home of Love (CHOL) will take another 3 hour drive (150 km). We will stay a night in Chiang Mai and return to CHOL on Friday (11 February).

THANK GOD! This coming weekend (12 & 13 Feb), Dara doesn’t have to go to study at Chiang Rai. This is indeed a blessing to her. According to her university original time-table, there should be no break for this month. Definitely, our GOD KNOWS that she is weak at this time and needs more rest. It’s surely our God’s doing to let the university changed its plan this week and proclaimed a holiday. PRAISE THE LORD! OUR GOD IS TRULY OMNISCIENT! “I will praise Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify Thy name for evermore” (Psalm 86:12, KJV).

THANK GOD for the sweet fellowship we could have with fellow Christians during our short stay in Singapore. THANK GOD also for the blessed time we could spent with our loved ones. God willing, we will be back to Singapore for hospital appointment in August 2011. Dara will be having another total body scan at that time. Pray that she will be completely healed by then. “For great is Thy mercy toward me: and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell” (Psalm 86:13, KJV).

Peace be with you all!
