God's grace is sufficient to meet ALL my needs :)

-
The past week has been AWESOME. God has blessed me so much. I have been having a deeper more intense Bible study and have felt his presence so much more the past week. His power is AWESOME! I have been reading Song of Solomon and John. Two totally different books of the Bible but so much of the same meaning. I have tried to read Song of Solomon before but it didn't make sense. This week God has opened my eyes. The way Song of Solomon is written is exactly how my relationship with God has grown and developed. Oh Jesus is my beloved and is whom my soul loves! How precious is it that we have grace, salvation, redemption and love? AMAZING LOVE! I have also checked out a devotional from school called The Utmost for His Highest and my friend sent me a devotional called Streams in the Desert. Sunday I read both of these devotionals like normal but to my surprise they both said the same thing but in different ways. Both of them talked about "Waiting and Watching" but not for the Lord but WITH the Lord.Oh what a different experience and meaning that has brought to me. That night I also was reading in John and started underlining every time the Jews took up stones or attempted to lay hands on Jesus but he was able to walk away unharmed because it wasn't God's time....do you see where I am going? God's timing is everything but while waiting for what God has for me to do I can watch and wait with my beloved, my Savior, JESUS. AWESOME! It is so awesome to have church with just myself. That night as I was on my knees praying the Spirit of God just flooded my room and I have felt Jesus all around me, and have had such a tremendous peace since Sunday night and contentment! It is awesome! PRAISE THE LORD :) Please continue to pray for me and pray that my walk with Jesus Christ will grow and grow! God Bless :)

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
