Egypt/Promise Land

-

 God has been pressing on me to study Egypt & the promised land. So I started at the beginning and I didn't get very far.


Exodus 1:12 KJV

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.


When bad things happen do you grow in your afflictions? Do you stay the same? Do you wither away? Are you on the devils radar because you just won't quit or give up already?  Is he trying to break you but because you know who you are in God, you just won't quit? Do you keep growing and your fruits multiple? He may have plowed you over yesterday, but today is a fresh field!!!! Grow don't you lay there and die!!!! God breathed life into you, it wasn't the devil. Don't allow the devils lies to take root in your field!!! Cast him out!!! The devil didn't sacrifice, bleed or die for you so why are you allowing him to plant in your mind (your body is the temple of God)? Why are you allowing fields of doubt, anxiety, bitterness, anger,unforgiveness, and insecurity to grow? You may think you see fruit, but your fruit looks good on the outside but the inside is filled with holes and worms. Christians it is time to take our minds back! It's time to level the fields, to pull up the bad roots the devil has sowed. Trust me, it is hard and scary to look deep within and start over and to pull down walls, roofs and windows that use to look ok until you realized your foundation was cracked and sinking!!! Level the field,  pull up the junk, plow and plant with God and watch the harvest is coming and this time, the fruit will be good!!!!!!


Psalm 139:23-24 KJV

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: [24] And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

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
