"Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much."


Thank you, originally uploaded by Boyznberry.

Juli, Allison and I went to see Hannah again today.

I asked if I can take photos. She was happy to let me photograph her as she visited with Juli, Allison and her other daughters. "Other" daughters, because she calls us her daughters, too. Even though she has 7 of her own.

Hannah's health has deteriorated since I had last seen her 5 days ago. Her speech is getting more slurred. The tumor seems to be showing up below her left eye, too. She is obviously having a lot of pain.

Yet she continues to rejoice in Jesus. She broke out in worship songs a few times again during our visit. When I gave her a box of soy milk to try, hoping that it would be easier for her body to digest, she held it with both hands, lifted it up, and said a prayer of thanksgiving to God for his provision.

We left when it was clear that Hannah needed to rest. But as we paused outside in the garden and visited with the family, we heard her voice from her room, "Thank you. Thank you very much..." and saw her skinny hand waiving at us. Nancy explained how they appreciate the visits. We do, too. It's a joy to go and spend some time with her and her family, pray together, worship God together...

I'll be going back early next week to take photos of their entire family. I look forward to doing that.

In the meantime, please join me in praying for a miracle for Hannah!

  2. That is an awesome photograph. It seems to say so much. I'm enjoying reading your posts. I think I got here originally from Amanda's blog. I am in southern Taiwan. Keep up the great work there loving God's people.
