NEARLY THERE

By -
Dear Prayer Warriors,

Apologies for the lack of a proper update this month. Thankfully, I was reminded while praying for a sister this morning that I haven't given you guys a heads up for the month of March. So here it goes -

Since its the last lap of Term Two Semester One for both Jonathan and I, we are pretty busy with our essays. Busy is an understatement. Jonathan spends most nights working till the wee hours of the morning, on days he's too tired, he instead sets his alarm for 3am and works till we get up. I am amazed at his resilience. I just find pockets of time during the day to catch up on various parts of multiple essays I am writing all at the same time. Thankfully, this has worked well for me since I have a very short attention span anyway. I find myself ahead of most of the deadlines and its certainly by the grace of God and your prayers.

This month was special because we went to Kuching for a family trip to meet my brother's fiancee's family. It was a really good time of greeting them and getting to know yet another wonderful Christian family. I'm guessing this is merely the start of many more Kuching trips.

So I'll keep prayer requests shorter this month and get back to my essay, see you in April!

Prayer Requests for March -

Thanksgiving
- Restful mid-term break in March with a fruitful time catching up with work
- Rewarding time with family and new family in Kuching

Intercession Points
- Strength for the final lap of school (last three weeks!)
- Mya has been sick on and off since Jan, pray for complete healing
- God to protect nuclear family time despite the busyness of ministry

Feel free to follow our (slightly) more regular updates via @jieames on Instagram.
Blessed Holy Week!



Blessings!
Jonathan, Amy and Mya

UNEXPECTED MOLD-TIVATION

Image Source April has been an interesting month thus far. On one hand we are running to the finish of our first year in Seminary, whilst the little baby is going on to the last and final trimester. I (Amy) am now finding it hard to climb flights of stairs without panting and my hips are starting to ache from being too narrow for littlest Ji. Nonetheless, this is a month of God’s unfailing providence and never-ending surprises. Here are the top stories, including a mold spores horror story if you’d like to read on –

A NATE UPDATE

By -

Nathan will be going for open-heart surgery on the 14 th  of August to close the hole in his heart. The hole (VSD) has begun to show signs of leakage and the valve above the hole is starting to deform as a result of the pressure caused by the leak. Should the leak worsen, he will have to undergo two surgeries rather than one. As such, J and I have decided to go ahead with their current suggestion to patch the hole. -- What are your thoughts? Certainly, it is a major surgery and we will take care to prepare Nate (and ourselves) for it. But other than that, we are not too anxious. In contrast, we are grateful for the clarity and confidence the surgeon gave us yesterday. More importantly, we know full well that He is sovereign and in control. This entire heart journey is out of our hands and Nate, like every one of us, is at the mercy of our Creator. We do not think Nate’s condition is worse than any other child or better for that matter. Instead, we treasure him

GOD CHANGES OUR PLANS

     First up, a very blessed Lunar New Year to all readers of Our Animated Journey. And thank you for your patience. We have good reason for this delayed update which you will read about very quickly. But I just wanted to say before that, thank you so much for all your love and prayers! We have been receiving your gifts, emails and texts of encouragement, and it fuels us on in this journey. Thank you!                  As the title post reveals, God has decided to change our plans quite significantly this year. Initially, I (Amy) was meant to finish my Theological studies in 2019 and begin part-time work (secular) whilst volunteering in the church Missions department thereafter. However, our gracious Father has decided to give Jonathan and I another child!      We are very grateful that Mya will finally have a sibling. One that she has longed for since she started talking really. We are also grateful that the first trimester is now behind us. I was plagued with my
