From 1/22/09

Here is the email I got today from Renee in Taichung. It looks as though the location need may have been filled! Also, see Renee’s prayer request at the end. Her cat is really important to her.

I had another place come to mind when all this came up but I hadn't been there in a long time. It's also an apartment complex, large room, several small rooms and a nice courtyard. Anyway, I met with my old teacher today (not Christian), she lives there. I told her what's been going on (I said nothing about their building) she brought up using their facilities. Her husband has been telling her for quite awhile how he would like to help me sometime and she just laughs at him because he's a guy and this is a women's ministry. Well he's one of the ones that makes the decision about who can rent. I'm going over there for Chinese New Year Eve "lunch" on Sunday. I'll look at what they have then and make sure it would work. Her husband told me he'd rent it to me cheap. Anyway, be praying about this and I'll let you know what happens. So, I was pretty excited about this, this afternoon and then...I took Brother, my cat, to the vet. He lost a lot of weight while I was gone (found out today about 4 lbs, he's big) and he's not eating. The vet said his liver & kidney functions are messed up, glucose is way up (might be diabetic), he's dehydrated, he's in bad shape. He's at the animal hospital right now on 24 hour IV for at least 2 days and then we'll see what will happen. Anyway, anyone who knows me, knows my cats are my babies. Please be praying for Brother. He's only about 5 1/2 years old and he's a sweet boy and I just want him to be ok. The vet said he didn't know. So, please be praying about this.more later...
