Big hearts

Big hearts

June 9, 2018

Sometimes the medical clinic seems to have a theme for a time with several of our patients coming in with similar things. Here recently one of the themes seems to be cardiac. (See blog Stomach, Lungs, or Heart for another one of these patients.) Last week, we had a visit from a patient that we […]

Stomach, Lungs, or Heart?

Stomach, Lungs, or Heart?

June 9, 2018

About 1-2 months ago now, we saw a new patient. She came to us with complaints of feeling short of breath after getting food poisoning. She also had a non-productive moist cough with wheezes. Her vital signs were normal with a moderately elevated blood pressure (159/87) and good oxygen saturations. Being that it all initially […]

The “one another”s of the Bible and hiking

The “one another”s of the Bible and hiking

June 9, 2018

The Bible has a lot to say about the “one another”s throughout its pages. I was reminded of these last fall and have continued to notice them off-and-on without thinking much of it until recently. Then I realized how impactful these “one another”s are. I had the opportunity to join friends on a hike to […]

Hungry Baby

June 9, 2018

We often take calls and emails from our remote church planters with medical questions and patients that have been brought to them for help. This past week, we received a call from one such missionary women who is frequently asked to treat the people of their language group. They are very remote. There is no […]

“Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” (read singing)

March 4, 2018

“Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes” There are some weeks that the patients coming into the clinic develop a theme. “Oh, this week is head week” or “this week is foot week”. These past two weeks have reminded me more of the children’s song, “Head, shoulders, knees, and toes…knees and toes”. (WARNING: Some of these stories, […]

The Usual

The Usual

February 18, 2018

There has not been much to write about in relation to the clinic and my medical work. Just the usual colds, well-child checks, back pain, sprained joints, cuts to treat, meds refilled, and other “usual” stuff. But after months of frequent emergencies we are grateful for “the usual” and this is actually a huge answer […]

Refreshing

Refreshing

February 18, 2018

Off-and-on over the past 2-3 years a friend and I have been mulling over the difference between Relaxing and Refreshing. There are things I do with my down time to relax but not all that is relaxing refreshes my soul. Relaxing is good and necessary. But in a stressful job, a stressful day, a stressful […]

Ministry is about Relationships

Ministry is about Relationships

February 6, 2018

All ministry is about relationships. Any ministry is about relationships. Without relationships there is no ministry–we would simply be a stuffed shirt touting our own stuffing. Therefore, ministry is very difficult to quantify, measure, and qualify. I am the recipient of others’ ministries and strive to serve others myself. This being said, the ministries I […]

“Cutting a tree with a turtle” and “eating children”

“Cutting a tree with a turtle” and “eating children”

December 22, 2017

So language learning is not without its moments. Moments of pleasure when you’re able to communicate your heart. Moments of frustration when you just don’t have the words. Moments of confusion when you really can’t hear the difference between what you’re saying and what your language helper is saying. And moments of laughter when you […]

Mourning a Friend, Celebrating Jesus!

Mourning a Friend, Celebrating Jesus!

December 22, 2017

I have not had the words or known how to say what has been going on here. Time. We all needed some time. On December 7th, I was called to the clinic for an emergency cardiac arrest with a code in progress. A national friend had suffered an apparent sudden cardiac arrest after kicking the […]
