We are back home again, they say your home is where
your heart is, but sometimes we are wondering about that, especially coming
from Namibia and it’s beauty!! Our furlough was a whirlwind of emotions but we
know that everything works out for good if we have faith in God. The day we
landed in Namibia, Quintin, Toinette’s little brother went in for a Prostrate
removal and we could not be there for him and had to wait for him to come back
from SA to see him. In the meantime, Mordegai’s mum was in the hospital as
well. We were divided into 2 as we wanted to be with both at this difficult
time. A small visit with my mum put us at ease. We could move on to visit ouma
Paula at the coast and really started our holiday. A visit to the big Etosha
game park was just the thing for us to relax in the beauty that Namibia has to
offer.
Just to come back and rush to see my mum back into
the hospital again. This time she was not doing well. We watched her as she
became better again and could go back home to my brother. We had to make big decisions
to accommodate ouma and when my big brother visits, plans were made. Ouma did
not got better and when we had to leave she end up in hospital again. This time
she made a miraculous turn around. We praise God for His goodness and hearing
our prayers. Continue to pray for her as she need to get to terms that she
cannot go back to her small house in the province as they do not have doctors
there. She will stay in a Retirement Home, close to my brother and sister.
Quintin is doing much better and still at home
recovering, daily. Spending time with him makes me proud to be family, seeing
him so strong in his faith. Pray with us as he still need to do blood tests to
see if all the cancer is away.
My friend Deon is finish with his chemo and started
work today. Pray for him as he is going his normal business and need to wait
for a month to do more tests and possible operation. Pray for them as a family
as they await the test results.
Our friend Mientjie Ellis had her second cataract
operation and now she has inflammation in her eyes and it’s extremely painful.
As I know her, she is not good when sitting down, so pray for patience as she needs
to wait for healing.
I will rather stop here now. We have so many friends
that need the hand of the Lord on them in this time. Pray together with us for
a whole list of people. God surely know who they are.
I will be on the road again next week as Toinette is
in Phnom Pehn with our NGO on a team building time together. Just talk to her
and they are relaxing in style while we slaving it away, cleaning our
home,hahaha.
Listening to the sermon yesterday and this verse
stood out for me. Friends let us go out this week and just do this, and then we
are winning.
For this very reason, make every effort
to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge,
self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance,
godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For
if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from
being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But
whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have
been cleansed from their past sins. 2 Peter 1:5-9
Thank you once again for praying for us.
Love
