In every crisis, people are looking for hope. Show them Jesus, not just in our words but in our actions. Fear causes bondage to yourself and others. Be free of fear, have faith and trust in the God.
Sunday, we had church service as scheduled. 7pm, a man came by our site, He needed bread for him and his kids because the grocery stores were out. So we gave him bread and some paper towels. Another man needed eggs so I gave him 6 of mine.
A few minutes later, a man came with a bag and said the lady from church today wanted you to have these. Cookies 
Yesterday am, I went around asking all the workers if they needed anything. The guy that had a stroke about 2 months ago asked for Lysol spray. I couldn't find any at the store so I gave him one of my two cans when I got back.
Last night, a lady said I'm leaving early and have tons of groceries can you please take them. Yes maam I will and if anyone needs anything I will share it. My fridge is full now.
God has already replaced what I gave away. You see we cant hoard stuff, we need to show love to our fellow people. Be the different, show Jesus, people need to find Jesus and if you are too busy rushing around with everybody else then who will share Him? Be different, dont blend in to the chaos, shine Jesus' light into the chaos.

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
