親愛的代禱者：
Dear Intercessors:
得知自己有癌症一個星期，前面兩、三天，有時晚上會有恐懼和緊張臨到我，特別擔心年幼的孩子，但是之後幾天的心情幾乎都是平靜的、甚至是喜樂的，我想這是各位禱告的功效，所以請大家繼續為我和我的家人禱告。
It has been a week since I have found out that
I got cancer. In the he first 2, 3 days,
I experienced fear and panic attacks at night, especially overwhelmed worries
for my little children.
However, this week, I feel very much at peace and even joyful. I believe that this is the fruit of your
prayers, so please continue to pray for me and my family.
這個星期我徹底改變飲食的習慣，大量的蔬菜，因為改變太快，身體有些不適應，但是發現消化變得很好，食物的原味也越來越好，所以就算有一天我癌症好了，我還是想繼續這樣的飲食習慣。我也開始多運動，帶孩子去公園的時候專心很多（不會一直用手機），和 神更加親近，還對雅歌有更多的開啓。這樣專注、有啓示的生活一直是我追求的，而我現在因為癌症得著了這樣的生活，所以假如我若勝過癌症，卻得著過這樣生活的動力，這件事實在是我生命中一件非常美好的轉捩點。
I have changed my eating habits drastically
this week, eating primarily vegetables.
My body is still adjusting to the changes. The reward is a much better digestion and I
can taste and enjoy the food’s original flavors. Even if I am cancer free one day, I still
want to continue this healthy eating lifestyle and no turning back. I start to exercise more, focus more on the
kids when I take them to the park (instead of using my cell phone all the
time), draw closer to God and even receive more revelation on Song of
Songs. This focused, revelatory
lifestyle is what I always wanted, and now I am living it because of
cancer. If I overcome cancer but gain
the motivation to live such lifestyle, then this event is actually wonderful, a
great turning point of my life.
三年多前決定走信心道路的時候，我心裏最擔心的，就是若是放棄掉保險，得了重病怎麼辦，所以和
神商量不要讓我們在沒有保險的時候，家中的任何人有重病，結果走信心的道路不到兩個月，我們的小女兒就燒到104度，我現在又得了癌症，但是卻發現，一路上 神都有供應， 神沒有給我們容易的路走，但是一路上都提供極大的恩典，祂實在是最好的老闆（請不要拿我們的情形和別人的情形比較，每一個人的功課都不一樣），讓我對
神的恩典和憐憫有新一層的認識和體驗，我們實在是一個很蒙福的家庭。可看附件「不可思議的恩寵」。
Three years ago when we decided to walk the
road of living by faith, my biggest concern was what if we got seriously ill
while we are all without insurance. I
had a little discussion with God that I will walk this road if He protected us
from all illness. Two months right after
we are living by faith, my daughter got sick and had a fever to 104 and now I
got cancer. But I also discover that God
has provided for us on this journey. He
did not give us an easy route but granted us grace everywhere we go. He is indeed the best boss EVER! (Please don’t compare our circumstances with
others. Everyone’s spiritual lesson is
different.) It made me understand God’s
grace and mercy in a whole new level. We
are a very blessed family. If you are
interested on how He provided for us, please read attachment “Ridiculous
Favor.”
我們決定回台灣治療，星期日
(5/27) 飛往洛杉磯，星期一 (5/28) 淩晨飛往台灣，我們目前希望能三個月之後，全家就可以都健健康康的回來（只有我有台灣身份，所以若過了三個月，秀君和小孩需要出境一下），若是我治療的時間需要超過三個月的話，我們到時候再作下一步的決定。關於為什麼決定要回台灣，可以看附件「葉子和乃縵」。
We have decided to go to Taiwan for my
treatment, leaving for Los Angeles on Sunday (5/27) and flying to Taiwan on
Monday (5/28). Our hope is that our
entire family can all be healthy and return to the U.S. in three months (only I
am Taiwan’s citizen so Siew and the kids have to temporarily leave Taiwan if
they want to stay). If the time of my
treatment is more than three months, we will then decide what our next step is. Regarding how we decide to go back to Taiwan
for treatment, please see attachment “Leaves and Naaman”.
代禱事項：Prayer Requests:
1. 癌症的細胞不會擴散，而且要完完全全地縮回去，死去，不留任何的痕跡。
Cancer cells will not
spread (metastasis) but shrink back, die and completely gone without trace.
2. 求 神賜給台灣長庚醫院直腸結腸癌的醫生（他們是 神的助手）智慧和啓示，做出完全合 神的診斷和治療。也讓我在他們面前蒙極大的恩典。
Ask for wisdom and revelation for the doctors of Chang Gung hospital
in Taiwan. They are the ones who will treat my
colorectal cancer (they are God’s helpers).
Pray for them to make godly judgments and treatments. I will find great favor before them.
3. 賜給我飲食的智慧（改變飲食習慣一開始其實很易，要面臨很多的挑戰），知道如何吃，卻可以適當的維持體重，並且有體力。
I need wisdom on how to
eat (changing eating habits is very challenging in the beginning). I would know what to eat and properly
maintain my weigh and my energy level.
4. 禱告秀君和孩子能夠及早適應台灣和我母親家的生活方式，而且台灣現在流行的腸病毒不會侵害他們，特別是小女兒 Cheryl。
Pray Siew and the kids will quickly adjust to the lifestyle of Taiwan and
my mom’s home. The widely spread enterovirus will not touch them, especially Cheryl.
5. 除去我們心中的任何懼怕，保持積極喜樂的心情，常常感恩、不抱怨、不懷疑。禱告我們的眼睛不是專注在醫學的診斷上面，也不是專注在自己的身體狀況的上上下下，雖然這些都要去正視和面對（不逃避），但是我們的眼目是專注在耶穌和祂醫治的大能上。
Rid of all fear, but keep a positive, joyful spirit; always give
thanks without complaining and doubts.
Pray our eyes are not fixed on the medical report, or on my physical condition
(yes, we will face them, not run away from them), but our focus will be on
Jesus and His healing power.
