Memories and Packing

-
So I leave pretty soon...June 16th.....wow....God is awesome and I praise HIS name for all he has done and is doing and will do for me....I have moved about 8 times in my life so far...most after I reached the age of 17........so many memories and having to sort them out for the next move for 9 months. I see letters from the past and so many emotions rush through me it is crazy. I miss my brother and each day I get up it seems he is so far away and almost like he was just a imagined person until I look at his letters, pictures and things and that old empty spot in my heart explodes back open until the cold grief is the only feeling left....the devil loves when I feel this way and today I quickly began to sing praises to my Lord and Saviour....I sing for my pain, I sing for my sorrow, I sing for the empty feeling I have...why because I was so blessed beyond all words and any reason to have the privledge of knowing my brother...I am so blessed for God to give me a brother that it makes me praise the Lord for giving him to me for a short time...borrow really......I know someday soon I shall be with my Lord and Saviour in paradise and I pray each and every one of you while be there with us too......If you don't know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour tomorrow is not an option...today is here, tomorrow is not promised......Proverbs 27:1  - Boast not thyself of tomorrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth...If you died right now would you be in your Saviour's loving arms or would you be burning in the lake of fire with the demons and devils by your side... Scary? Yes......today make a choice do you serve the Lord Jesus Christ or do you serve the demons of hell and their vile leader?

Update on my Health

-
My life is at a crossroads. The past week I have had to shift through many different emotions. Last Monday after being sick for 4 days, I went to the lab and had two vials of blood drawn to check for malaria and a CBC performed. Everything came back normal but I have the same symptoms of Malaria that I had the first two times. After speaking with my supervisors, my doctor, and another doctor, we can to the conclusion that it was possible that I had the malaria that hides out in my liver. I also found out that I could take primiquine to treat this but that is was not available here in Niger. It was very frustrating to know that a $20.00 drug could be found in the US where no malaria is located rarely but not found in a place where malaria kills people every day. Crazy, yes? Anyways I spoke and prayed to my husband and he had churches in Andalusia pray that God would show me away to go. I went Friday and had three more vials of blood taken and test performed for liver enzymes and a G6-PD

Discouragement in a different world

-
I need prayer for discouragement. I feel like I'm either extremely happy or extremely sad the past week. I'm super happy to work with children and work for the kingdom of God but when I get back to the guesthouse I feel discouraged because I feel like there is something more to do. I know I am where God wants me but I question myself about what I am suppose to be doing while I'm here. I’ve questioned so much till I have turned into a hermit and not gone out to do things I know I should do to get out of this sadness. I'm thankful for Christian friends who encourage me and have made me get out and hang out with other Christians. I know it sounds so selfish to be discouraged after all that God has done for me but I just feel like I am failing him by not doing more for him while I'm in Niger. I'm blessed to have a room mate who loves God and offers her ears and encouragement for when I get discouraged. I'm blessed to have a husband who will get onto me and tell

Debridement of the Flesh

-
Lovely title don't you think? For those of you who don't know the meaning of debridement it means "Surgical excision of dead, devitalized, or contaminated tissue and removal of foreign matter from a wound." Wounds are sometimes debrided with a wet-to-dry dressing. This means “A sterile Normal Saline saturated gauze is packed deep inside a wound and left for about 8 hours. After 8 hours the gauze is dry and the gauze is slowly pulled from the wound and debrides the wound by pulling out all of the pus and infection on the dried piece of gauze. Disgusting sometimes but necessary to promote healing. For those of you who don't know on August 3rd I got a motorcycle muffler burn and have been treating it myself. Last night I had to perform non-surgical debridement on the wound. Why? Because due to the thick burnt skin the wound was not healing properly and was delayed in being able to heal from the inside out. While it hurt extremely bad to do this myself, it was n
