trusting in Him...

Holy cow! It has been too long since I have written! This has been a busy month with lots of visitors followed by a trip to the US. Rachel and I went "home" for two weeks to be with Ryan and Katie for the birth of their daughter, Audrey Nadine. Her name means "noble strength and hope"...and we trust that it is a prophetic statement for her life.

Rachel and I also spent several days looking at universities as she is ready for this next step in her education. Rachel was 4 years old when we came to Guatemala. It is the only life she has ever known. Living in the culture of the US will be a huge change for her and we covet your prayers for her in this time. Letting go of our children and trusting that He will guard and keep them is one of the hardest things that we are asked to do, isn't it?!

Saturday morning clinic started with a very sick baby girl whose oxygen levels were in the 60's (they should be over 90). She needed to be hospitalized - in an ICU. But her mama had left 5 other children at home and could not stay. So we loaded her up with antibiotics and much prayer and off she went. It will be a true miracle of God if she survives. And we may never know what her outcome is as she lives in a very remote village. We truly put her into the "hands of God" and I know that He will heal her - either here or there - for we trust in the Lord with all of our hearts and do not lean on our own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5 - my paraphrase)
