Saying good-bye to my mom\u2026 I count it as one of the Lord\u2019s greatest blessings in my life that I can call this courageous woman my mother! She does not only confess with her mouth that He is Lord, but she lives out Christ\u2019s love in a most practical and tangible way. May we all learn to BE Christ to the people around us more and more as we grow in dependence on Him.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nadia\u2019s mom left on Sunday and we already miss her greatly! I don\u2019t think that I would have been able to stay on the field, if it was not for my mom\u2019s sacrifice in coming to help us out for these last 4 weeks.<\/p>\n

I am doing much better (after the malaria), but still need to take it pretty easy and rest as much as I can. I have one week complete rest left and after that I can start to get back into the work little by little. Pray for patience, as I find it harder these days to keep still and rest enough!<\/p>\n

Pray for Francois and the kids that have to learn to do many things on their own since I am not able to pull my full weight. In this too we see the Lord\u2019s grace: the more responsibility the kids are taking in the house and with their home schooling, the more motivated they are. It is also heart warming to see them pulling together, supporting and encouraging each other in their different tasks.<\/p>\n

We again see the difference in the Lord\u2019s economics: what we think is a disaster, the Lord uses for our best! We are also learning that difficulty is not bad for ourselves and our kids. In fact, it often is the means by which the Lord shows us His love and power the most!<\/p>\n

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures\u2026 Often these \u201cgreen pastures\u201d look totally different from what we could imagine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
