Twinkle Star...

I earnestly seek prayers for my little bro, Jeremy...

He's in sec one now and he has just shifted back to stay with my parents all the way in Pasir Ris. Recently in school, he has got issues with the teacher and have attempted to jump off from outside his classroom situated on the 4th floor. Apparently, he refused to go for detention (becos he missed remedial class) and began showing signs of anger. He turned over the tables and chairs in class... banged his head against the wall... ran out of the classroom and tried to jump. Thank God the teacher managed to stop him in time and sent him to the school counsellor.

This is not the first time my bro tried to take his life... He tried to cut his wrist when he was in primary school. We kinda concluded that he was emotionally unstable when my mom contracted cancer a couple of years ago but we did not take any serious actions. This time around, after a long talk with the school counsellor and the vice-principal, they suggested bringing him in to a psychiatrist at IMH to receive proper treatment. There were talks about asking him to shift back to Bukit Panjang or even transferring school.. but i think my parents are quite persistent in having him stay there. However, i think it's good that he stays in his school because of all the friends that he has already made and that he has a counsellor in his school who understands his problems.

1. He has been attending church with my parents since young. Pray that he'll come to know God in a personal and intimate way.. not just knowledge of HIM but knowing HIM as our Father.
2. He has been staying in Bukit panjang with my grandparents, now that he has shifted back to Pasir Ris with my parents. Pray that he'll be able to cope living in a new environment.
3. Pray that he will be able to adjust into the secondary school setting with much ease.
4. Pray that he'll be more open to share his problems and his burdens with the people around him... hopefully ultimately he'll turn to God for his problems he face in his life.
5. Pray that my family will be understanding and to be able support him emotionally.
6. As he'll be receiving treatment at IMH soon, pray that he will be able to learn to handle his problems in a proper manner. Also pray that i'll be able to be responsible in bringing his for his appointments.

I trust that the Lord has not forsaken us nor forgotten us. "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand." (John 13:7) Indeed, there may be many unfortunate events in our lives but i've learnt not to question the Lord in times as such. But to trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding... (Prov 3:5) HE is our sovereign Lord and HE has the best plans for us... I'm fully convinced that HE is in charge now and forever more.

We might face rejection from men, even from our closest friends, but we'll never be rejected by GOD.

Thanks for all who have been praying... do continue to pray for us.
