Getting out and yfc

I was out for the first time last night since coming home last week. I had the great opportunity of assisting Dan and Cecile James as they renewed their wedding vows during their 25th anniverary celebration. What a great time!
Cecile is one awesome volunteer at Youth For Christ! She has been such a great blessing! Speaking on Youth For Christ, I am so thankful to the Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers. Everyone has stepped up and committed to keeping the ministry rolling. That is such a big blessing to me at this time. All the kind words and cards, prayers etc from the YFC Chapters across Canada have been very special to me as well.
WoW! The strength that comes from knowing everyone is cheering, praying and in so many ways caring for you is so powerful! I am so thankful for how it all helps my family at the same time. My wife and family have been so good to me. What a challenge it must be for them? My prayer today is that God will bring my wife and children a great day of rest and a deepening peace to go through this time together. If someone out there has any thoughts to share on this blog, feel free to add them here. I am hoping to keep up with regularly journaling and of course, your input is welcomed. Bye for now!

Hi Tim

It's not easy to find the right words, specially in a "strange" language.
Esther sent the URL for the blog. I've never done it, have no expirence how it does (even if it does) work. I just try. What is my identity? I send it as anonym.

There are tons of question marks flying around "our chief" up there.

Tim, we wish you, Esther and your family alle the best, strength and hope.
We don't know what this should be good for (except you have to slow down, to rest). But people around have to accelerate. As I said, there are some question marks.

All the best and GOD bless you and the family

PS:
Do you remember the "sketch" on the Top of Europe (the Japaneses saved you)? I just remembered that. For a tiny millisecond I hoped, that this might be an other choke of you. But it is reality.

Tim,
...God has upheld you since you were conceived, and He has carried you since your birth setting you apart for ministry....you have made such a difference in the lives of so many people. You loved them to the cross with your tears...now it's time for us to minister to you with our tears. God has promised to sustain you my friend: he has promised to carry you through....HOLD ON!!!

Hi Tim and Esther,

I couldn't believe it when I read about you in The Tribune. At first, I too thought maybe it was a joke, because you are well known for your wacky (but good) sense of humour! But, this is serious stuff isn't it?

You have an amazing spirit (both of you) and you deserve a miracle.

Our thoughts are with you!

The Noel Family
