Good Evening,
Another week went by, wanted to say "flew by" but then thought about it because there were times this week when time stood still. Especially the moments we worry, worry about visas, our Gideon's future, Noah's wound having a bad spot, expenses, car, and motorbikes breaking. And then other times when a word of encouragement, a timely gift, a reminder out of God's Word lifted us up, above time, and filled us with peace, His peace.
Thank you for all your prayer for Jean. He is doing much better, out of ICU, and now just on free-flow oxygen. Our hearts are so humbled because at the same time we rejoice over our brother doing better we hear of friends passing away from Covid back home. This reminds me(Twans) of one night in the birth room back in Mercy Maternity Clinic, Davao. It was a busy night with many women in labor, all the beds were full. The deliveries were safe and without complications and then one couple came in with an ultrasound stating that the baby is already dead. The delivery was difficult and it was heartbreaking to see their sorrow. Then just after the stillbirth, another couple came in, also first-time parents. I was still a midwife student then and I remember it was so hard for me to "change gears", to be excited and joyful together with them throughout the safe labor and delivery. It seemed impossible but God's presence and peace-filled both the room full of sorrow and the room full of joy.
School started, so Anton is back in front of the computer, and I and Gideon are back at the school desk. I thought it good to just include a photo of the desk and that will give you kind of an idea of how it is going. So it is a roller coaster of huge meltdowns, but also moments of laughter and actual learning taking place.
Love
