If you had the chance to say something that could save someone's life, wouldn't you do it? 

Guess what you do, 11-12hrs a day you can share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Why don't we do it? Lack of time, lack of compassion, lack of a spiritual view that isn't distorted by what worldly things we puts in our minds, insecurity, fear of rejection, fear of being embarrassed. These things have already been spoken about in the Bible. Now rise up man and woman of God, and go share Jesus. They aren't rejecting you, they are rejecting God, which should break your heart more!

If you see someone drowning, would not you help? Throw them a life vest or something to help? Call for help?

Spiritually, there is a world full of drowning in their sins people, share them Jesus. He saves, He delivers and He heals. He doesn't need us but He chose us to help further His kingdom.

Today may be the last day for someone, share Jesus.

 In the morning when I rise / In the morning when I rise
In the morning when I rise / Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus / Give me Jesus
You can have all this world / But give me Jesus
And when I am alone / Oh, when I am alone
And when I am alone / Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus / Give me Jesus
You can have all this world / But give me Jesus
And when I come to die / Oh, when I come to die
And when I come to die / Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus / Give me Jesus
You can have all this world / But give me Jesus

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
