12-18-2014 Psalm 143



Below is today's Bible verse I read today that touched my heart. I have "personalized" a bit accordingly, so for those don't know how to pray for me, they could just recite these verses: 

Psalm 143:7-12: 


Lord, answer us quickly, because Jamie is getting weak. 

Don't turn away from Jamie or Jamie will be like those who are dead.

Tell Jamie in the morning about your love, because we trust you.

Show Jamie what she should do. Because my prayers go up to you.

Lord, save Jamie from her enemies, she hides in You. 

 Teach Jamie to do what you want, because you are her God.

Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Lord, let Jamie live, so people will praise you. 

In your goodness save Jamie from her troubles.  In your love defeat my enemies. 

Destroy all those who trouble Jamie, because she is your servant.

12-16-2014 Fight On



I am feeling a sense of sadness and sorrow this morning. It was mainly the report about not so promising result from last week's MRI and CTScan.  I am so thankful that the tumor didn't spread to my brain area as in many of lung cancer cases, but the existing tumors in my lung area have grown rapidly, this has caused concern with my oncologist at Kaiser. I am still on waiting list for UCLA's clinical trials, however, I do have an appt. this Fri. to sign more consent forms.

Because I have been doing so well lately, I feel strong and active just like my old self.  So, I thought I am healed or on the path for recovery.  With the test results, it has made me realize that this is a tough FIGHT both physically and emotionally, a long term BATTLE even!  


As I was getting depressed and feeling hopeless, I received a "thinking about you" text message from Mary Ann....how Mary Ann and I became good friends was another interesting twist to my journey.  It's the timely greeting from my friends that God is sending angels to whisper in my ears that I am LOVED!


This journey maybe tough, but knowing I have all my families and friends' support, it is not lonely anymore!  


Prayer Requests:
1) Expediting process to get into UCLA's clinical trials.
2) Remain healthy and strong during this waiting period.
3) Wisdom and direction in best way to get our foster daughter from China over to visit us.
