1/23/2020 - Marriage Fight

-
Ok real transparency here.
My husband and I were fighting. He was being his stubborn pitbull on a bone routine and me? I was the bull from Ferdinand, that tough one that fought with all his might. Yeah two stubborn things, neither budging. Lots of who gets the last word. Stubborn man.......very stubborn woman.....so He walked off and in my anger I said God help this situation. And do you know what He said? No Mike didnt come riding back on a horse with sunlight streaming and sappy music. Thats not reality ever.
God said: You aren't fighting him.
All my anger faded, the fight didnt matter anymore. 4 words opened my eyes to the truth. So when Mike came back, I humbly walked up to him and apologized for my Irish/Swedish conquering temper and he did too. Point of this message?
Are you fighting for what matters in the spiritual realm or are you allowing the devil to sneak in behind enemy lines and destroy from the inside out. So many people are giving up on their marriage because they dont want to keep putting effort into something that seems hopeless. Don't give up. Keep fighting. You fight for the ones you love. You always have their back. There are enough people against us in this world. Protect your spouses back. Stop fighting each other, pray and unite together to fight the real enemy. And guess what your spouse isnt it. You can run to the next relationship but that devil He will be there to sooner or later. Stop taking your marriage vows lightly, take them to heart, fight for your spouse in prayer and not with them. Fight for love.
And if any of you need help, I know an awesome marriage counselor. Message me, she is in AL. If you cant figure it out together, get help, dont give up. Unity.

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
