It's been along time

Hello everyone. Now do not fall off of your chairs, I know it has been a long time since I have been here. I'm still plugging away. It will be almost 6 months since my beloved Le went home to the Lord. To say I'm handling it very well, I would be telling a very big lie. It has been very hard without Le around me, to hear her talk, just to touch her is now just a beautiful memory. I'm not crying as much as I have been but then the special moments still come to me and I cry a lot at times. I just miss her so much. I'm not going back to Vietnam until late April of next year to carry Le's ashes with me and place her in our burial site on date she went home to the Lord, May 3rd. I was planning on retiring in 2010 but the Lord has changed my mind and now I'm going to retire one month after I'm 62 next September 2009 and return to Vietnam January 2010, to continue on with the Lords mission work. I do want to say thanks to all of you for your prayers the past several months, prayer is very special for me and having you pray for me has allowed me to stand on solid ground and to continue to run my race. I do know that I do not belong here but I need to be in Vietnam. That is where my heart is; serving the Lord as much as I can. I'm looking forward in helping the poor, the lost souls, and preaching the  Good News of Jesus Christ. I'm preaching more in my home church and that builds me up more every time. My Pastor and trade off every few weeks so that keeps me in good preaching form. I could not ever imagine life without my little Le but with Gods grace He and He alone has keep me going through the good days and the bad days. I  just cannot imagine going through life without HIM. I will try to keep more in touch with you all as much as I can. Thank you one again for you love and prayers. You are all very special to me. May God bless each one of you. Have a blessed day indeed. Peace and love.

Still praising the Lord

Hello everyone. Well, it has been two months today that my wife Le passed away. Everyday, I praise the Lord for holding me together because the journey has been very hard. I miss Le very much and some days I have a very hard time dealing with her passing away. But it is the Word that has keep me focused on the light of Jesus. It was the words of Isaiah 30:15 that really helped me out.God knows the pain I have been in and he knows what is ahead of me, so with that I must wait for Him to guide me in the way He wants me to go. Prayer, has been so powerful. Not just my prayers but the prayers of so many that I have never met. God fearing people like you.I will never see most of you in my life time but we will meet someday at Gods choosing. When he calls us all home. I must say to any of you that may be going through a hard time not to fret about it. Turn to the One that He and only He can left you up and carry you through the storm you are going through. I find it most hard when I go shopping and I'm all alone or go to a restaurant and I'm all alone or just out walking around, I'm so alone. But I have realized that the entire time the Lord has been carrying me. Will I ever get over this? I do not know if I ever will but I do know that the Lord is always going to be there for me and with that I will just continue to praise Him and give Him all the glory and honor. For He is worthy of all glory and honor.  Dianne this is for you and Robert. " Father God, it seems things are going a little rough for Robert concerning Jane. Lord I just ask of you to please give Robert peace and show to him why this is happening at this point of time. Lord, you have a reason for everything that happens, even when we do not understand why; You always know why this is the way it is. So, Lord touch Dianne and Robert both and watch over them and help Jane out as well for she to needs help.In Jesus name I pray. Amen and Amen." Thanks to all of you for your love and prayers, I love you all. By the way, I will return back to Vietnam in April of 2009 and carry Le's ashes with me. The mission work will still go on and I will still move there in 2010 to serve the Lord for the rest of my life. May Gods face shine upon you all. Peace and love.

Praising the Lord

Hello my dear friends in Christ. Peace and grace to you all. Well, it has just been three weeks since my wife Le went home to the Lord. I would be lying to you if I told you I'm doing very well; I'm not. This is a big weekend for me and all I can do is lean more and more on to the love of the Lord. For he is my pillar of strength. Like I said it has been 3 weeks since Le's passing, this Sunday the 25th is her birthday and memorial Monday has always been very hard on me.Plus today I picked up Le's ashes and received all of the pictures of Le's funeral so I can take them back to Vietnam for our family there to see her.Oh, did she ever look so good. I really do find a lot of comfort from your posts and your e-mails. A few of you I will be seeing in the future but many I will never see until we all meet together. All of your prayers and kind words really help me. Some of them I cry over because they really touch my heart.My heart is very heavy yet and I do not know how many more tears I have left but I do know the Lord is preparing me for the next several years and with that I just cannot wait to get back to Vietnam. I will take Le back with me and there will great mourning from several Vietnamese that know Le so well. Le was very well liked in her home land and I will be there to comfort them as you gave comfort to me.  I have to go; just wanted to vent a little and with that may the Lord bless you all today. Peace and love.

Thank you all

Peace and grace to you all in Jesus name. Two weeks ago, my wife Le went home to the Lord. It has been very hard not having her around me since May the 3rd. It was May the 2nd I told Le that if anything should happen to her I do not know if I can live without her. Now, I look ahead and see it will be very hard on me but as Le did I must also continue on with my race and walk with God everyday. God decide that Le had toiled in the vine yard long enough and her body could not take it anymore. Weep not,Weep not, for Sister Le is not dead, she is just resting in the loving arms of Jesus. For that I praise Him and say thank you Lord for loaning Le to me for almost 38 years. Le is gone but I see her everyday in my heart and with that there is nothing to stop me from seeing the glory of God when He calls me home. In her memory, I will stand on solid ground, anything that Satan can throw at me will be cast away from me for it is Jesus that I strive for and it is Jesus that I stand and say; "Satan stand behind me because I'm marching on to glory, I'm marching to the beat of the drums and marching onto victory." Your prayers and love for myself and my family have a place in my heart forever. Your prayers for Le is what made her fight right up to the last 15 seconds of her life when God said," Come home my child,come home." The last 15 seconds of her life was in my arms; when I placed her body on the floor and as soon as I started CPR on her, I knew she had went home. God placed a gentle peace on me as I worked to save her life but my heart knew she was home. "Father God, I thank you for your love, I thank you for letting me have Le for all these years. I know that she has no pain and no more tears for that I say to you Lord, Thank you. Now Lord make me a stronger man that as I walk this world I will show everyone that you are in me. Thank you for the friends that prayed for Le all the past years; "For that Lord I ask that you blessed them with all the blessings they ask for.Touch them all Lord. In Jesus name I pray. Amen and Amen." Thank you all, I love you and may you have peace today. Have a blessed day inded. Peace and Love.

Family Tree Has Gotten Bigger

Well, our family tree has grown a tad more. Our Daughter Tina in Las Vegas had a baby girl. She came early but both are doing very well. So that makes it number 19 grand kids. Buy the way my friend Larry is still in a lot dis-comfort. He had a MRI done this past Saturday and is waiting the results. He does say thank you for your prayers. Le is doing better some what. Her blood work came out not to great. She needs to get her protein up a lot more and her blood count is way off base; she lost some blood someplace. So it is back to the shots to get her blood count back to where it is suppose to be. She cannot have a blood transfusion because she on the donor list for a transplant.But she said she ate tonight and for the first time in a long time she felt full and tasted the food. Have to go. God bless you all. Peace and love.
