The last 2 weeks have been tough.. mums situation has gone from bad to worse.. she's got pneumonia.. cant breathe well.. has a saturation level of about 80%.. her blood pressure is 60/90 (thats low for those of u playing at home) and is in constant pain.. now its been a tough 2 weeks.. seeing mum suffer.. seein her scream in agony.. lose her breath and worst of all not be her usual chirpy self would normally have me defeated and depressed.. BUT ( and thats a huge but) God has carried me when i am weak.. His word has strengthened me beyond my understanding.. here are a few verses that have sustained my weary soul..
Psalm 23.. love that God tells me that even though i walk thru the valley of death i should not be afraid.. He gives me rest in green pastures! He renews my STRENGTH
God tells me that i will find rest for my soul.. His yoke is light and fits perfectly.. that what i am goin thru is Hard.. but He will give me rest!
He tells me NOT to hold on to life (mine or mums) that if i do i will lse it.. if i let it go i will find it.. HOW freakin mind blowing is that thought?
i have victory in Him.. he is the greatest..
but all this comes at a price.. i need to be set apart.. be holy ( thats tough)
but the reward is HUGE.. i will get my 'promised land' for me its mum suffering to end.. i know she is going thru pain and sufferign now.. but i also know my God is BIG.. i know His plans are for our good and not to harm us.. i dont understand the WHY but i do know that He is in control.. i know that in the light of eternity what were going thru is but a puff of smoke. and our reward is HEAVEN.. and mum has seen paradise and longs to be there.. the way she talked obout it made me wanna be there.. sounded beautiful.. heaps of flowers. and ya all know how i like flowers

Bro..you are an inspiration. I can never fully understand your situation, but it looks like you've come to terms with a lot. Always praying for you...Love ya heaps! J
Yup totally praying for you and Mumma Jo. I love that you're confident that you're being held up by our Father... "THAT'S RIGHT!" He is mighty to save!
hey
frenchy is thinking of you too. you will get stronger through this situation. And even if it's not easy to understand everything, God wants the Best for you and want to lift you up. So keep believe in his plan for your life.
Hey Sergio,
Sorry to hear about your Mum. I have often wondered what it would be like to lose a beloved parent. I cannot come close.
I pray that God will give you the strength to endure, and that your Mum won't suffer much more. I pray that good will come of this hard time, and that you will know God better and more intimately.
The verse about the yoke has given me much comfort, and I am glad it does that for you too.
BTW, you inspire me in the way you turn to God and his word in your time of need. Don't lose sight of Him or yourself in the grief. I hope this encourages you a little bit.
Dan.
Hey Serg, just want to let you know that you and your mum are in my thoughts and prayers. Losing a parent is very hard, I lost my dad and so I just want to encourage you to keep going and put all your trust in God because he will get you through this just as he got me through, and know that he does have an awesome plan for your life:)Love Jodie
powerful.
I'm definitely with you Serg, even though I'm not there in person- I'm there with you spiritually & mentally. Stay strong mate- your Mum & the rest of your family are depending on you. So glad while chatting to you that you have turned to & leaning on God for your internal strength.
thanks peeps.. i forgot to mention how grateful i am to have not only a great biological family but also an equally awesome spiritual family in Perth and around the world.. i feel the love.. i am grateful for that love.. even if the b00f™ loves me like a man loves his beer... was gonna put woman instead of beer but that would be GAY
the b00f™ will drink to that tOny. u r an inspiration bloke & the b00f™ is sure your mum is proud to have a son like u - u haven't missed anything by not being here (apart from uni, but who misses study? Andrea doesn't) but have gained so much more. Mexico will miss u man when u leave.
Looking forward to ur return but there aint no rush...
b00f out!™
