This morning a ratted, torn shirt hung loosely over Milan’s shoulders. Some thin holes along the back emerged from thousands of spin cycles in the washing machine. Other larger tears were battle scars from his Kung Fu mass attack. With five guys attacking you at once, this shirt survived the incessant ambush of kicks, elbows, and for the moment, harmful hands. Through defense and retaliation, Milan proved he deserved a black belt hanging from his waist. He lived the bold message on the back of this shirt: Absolutely, Positively, without a Doubt, NO FEAR! (Not even a little bit).
Today a different kind of mass attack is at hand--one that requires more precision and repair than blocks and throws. Both can be nerve racking, but both strengthen the heart. It’s funny how pain seems to be a prerequisite for growth and repair. Muscle fibers tear to build strength, fires replenish soil, trimming a garden bare solicits new blossoms; all marks of the curse.
Today, Milan faces a surgery that will bring revitalization and efficiency to his heart. Please pray for the procedure to go well, the doctors’ discernment, and peace for Kay. Milan will be in intensive care for 1 to 2 days after his surgery. He will need to relax with breathing tubes in his throat until doctors feel he is ready to breath on his own. Pray for peace in his heart and mind during this uncomfortable time.
Thank you so much for your support and prayers. We can feel them. I’ll update you soon.
