Life is so full of mystery. There are many events in life I can’t fully comprehend. So tonight I was not prepared. And as things come one after the other, I simply prayed and asking God for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After helping my wife to take the best course of action that I think what God wants us as a family (It takes a lot to listen and obey God). Then came the unexpected news, that a dear friend’s wife was called home to be with the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I was shocked and at lost. I know she was not well. She had brain cancer and yet she survived. When COVID19 came and all travels were stopped, I wondered how she could continue to travel for her treatments. And her husband was the one that encouraged me on God’s faithfulness, how God provided and his wife could alive & okay despite not able to travel for treatment. It was like a miracle and God’s providence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, when I went back to Surabaya, somehow I contacted him for a meet up, if we could visit him. Instead he invited us for lunch, and treated our family with a great lunch. What generosity. And there I saw his wife, talked with her, and she seemed in good health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late last year, he was established as an Emeritus, and his wife was there, supporting him, even testifying how they journeyed asnwering God’s calling. What a submissive and supportive wife she is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So she didn’t talk a lot. She was very quiet and unassuming. But she’s very calm and confident. And I felt the loss for him and the family. She might be small & thin in stature. But she’s definitely a strong woman and pillar for the family. May the Lord be with you dear friend in the lost of your precious wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
