After a little more than half a year I was surprised to see
the result of my CD4 count. From beyond
normal of 631 CD4 per ml. of blood, it
has plummeted to 331. It is a bit less than 50%! This has never happened to me
before and I have not seen my physician yet as of this writing. When I shared
this to some of my friends, they too were surprised and asked what could
possibly be the reason(s) of its drop. Well honestly, I can't think of any except of less hours of
sleep than the expected 7-8 hours and probably stress but still that was a lot I guess if these two are the only
causes. I have never been sick for a long time already. At first I was a bit
scared and confused but I hope, and some of my fellow HIV+ friends affirmed,
that this is still normal and eventually it will go up again next time. So dear
friends, please kindly pray for me. Although I am really fine as of the moment
and the next scheduled visit to my doctor is in October.
As for my studies, my second to the last semester (hoping
and praying) has started and I have just begun writing my thesis proposal. I
need prayers on this too as well as financial provisions for I am not sure if I
can work and do all my studies at the same time. I am working on finding out
the barriers in churches and Christians on addressing the issue of
homosexuality or same-sex attraction because I want to know the reasons why we
are not able to minister to brothers or sisters and people with SSA effectively
or not able to minister at all despite the command of loving one another as
Jesus loved and accepted us in order to help the readers and other Christians
to understand better the depth of this issue and eventually respond in a
Christ-like way. Please kindly pray that this will be approved and become
successful and eventually will be very useful for the Christians and churches.
Thank you for visiting my blog and God is good all the time.
Praises and honor be to Lord Jesus!
