02/04/2020 - Lost Something?

-
Have you ever lost something? I recently tore down my bed and moved it. I went to put it back together and I was missing the connector that goes between the two frames that holds it up. My whole process of setting up my bed was stopped because I needed this one part to make the bed frame strong and I couldn't continue without it. I searched everywhere, the old house, the new house and unpacked everything I had just packed up the last few days. After everything I found it, it had gotten packed with the other bed frame parts, they looked simliar but it was somewhere it "fit in" but was NOT designed to be.
Can anyone related to losing something? Can you even relate to losing your way in life? Do you know you have a Father who loves you? Who is your shepherd. What does a shepherd do? Shepherd protect, care and lead their sheep. Stop allowing false counterfeits to lead you to the wrong places, you don't fit there stop trying to justify it and MOVE towards GOD. God has a specific place for you and a plan. Do you know that each member has a specific place in the body of Christ? Without each person in their place the body isn't complete. Incomplete armies don't win much wars do they? It is time for the people of God to stop sitting in the wrong places, get up and move where God intended them to be, so we can be complete and UNITED to stand against the devil.
During service last Sunday while at the altar,God spoke to me - Stace, this is what breakthrough looks like. Breakthrough occurs when the body of Christ unites, prays and knows who the real enemy is in their battles. Breakthroughs occurs when united we stand and together we fall. Stop leaving others behind to further your agenda. We are all in this together, help your fellow Christians. Christians its time for unity, a church alone isn't very effective but ALL the churches united and standing for God, that is when breakthroughs occurs. That is when we will see change and differences in our society.
I challenge you today, get with another Christians and pray . Pray for America, Pray for our Pastors, Pray for their families, pray for the body of Christ and Pray for unity!
God Bless,
SJ
2 Corinthians 13:11 English Standard Version (ESV)
Finally, brothers,[a] rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another,[b] agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

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
