Everyone is Sick!
Well, maybe not everyone, but many people are. Sabet, Stephanie, Dennis, Mercy, George and I have been sick as well as many of our Sudanese staff. After getting better from my stomach illness, I got hit with a headache and fever yesterday. Fortunately, I tested negative for malaria. Stephanie is positive though as are many of our employees. There are so many people coming to the clinic with malaria, but even more who never make it here from their houses. It's an illness that can be cured if caught early enough. Please pray for the healing of everyone on the compound so we can do our work and also pray that parents won't delay in seeking treatment for themselves or their children.

Praying!
ReplyDeleteLove you,
TB
Praying for you Stacie.
ReplyDeleteMost gracious and loving Father, please send your healing mercies to those in Tonj. Give the staff relief from their sypmtoms so they can continue to work for you. Bless them. Comfort them. Encourage them. Strengthen them. May the locals be drawn to you through the clinic and those who work there. May your love be so evident that they come even when they're not ill to witness your love in and through others. Perform miracles for your glory in the compound Father. Lord for Stacie. Be real to her. Love her. Surround her with your presence. I ask this all in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Will continue to pray Stacie--always and always. Love you, Karen @ aloha
Hi Stacie,
ReplyDeleteAt work this morning Traci told us about your Aug. 23 blog post. I sent an e-mail to our life group this evening asking them to pray.
I hope and pray you are feeling better but since you didn't post an update today, you may not be.
As I've mentioned before, you are an inspiration to so many of us back here. Our Life Group had a potluck yesterday evening and people asked about you. Karen Webber shared a little update.
One more thing that I admire about you: your taste in color. The beautiful rose color border of your blog is my absolute favorite color in the world. Did you choose the color? (I don't mean to be superficial; just thought it might give you a laugh.)
God bless you abundantly and hope you can feel our prayers and God's nearness to you!

Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers. Yes, I did chose this color. After periwinkle, it's my favorite.
