One More "THANK YOU"

We heard from our friends in Malawi . . . their 13 year old son is seriously ill . . . needs a medivac to South Africa . . . now he's in a coma. Oh God, hear our prayer!

Now he's in South Africa (a miracle in itself with all the possible delays) but still in a drug-induced coma . . . "Hold him close in your arms, Jesus. . . and his family too!"

God loves our children . . . and He heard our prayers . . . Timo Simoneaux is improving . . . awake . . . alert . . . able to move although weak . . . "Thank You, Jesus!"

All this trauma taking place so close to home (he's an MK) . . . and yet so far. . .

And as we prepare . . . packing lockers, luggage, and document folders . . . sorting through stuff to keep ("Please, bring it later, Mom"); stuff to give away ("I won't use that in US"); and stuff to take with us ("I need that at IBC") . . . we can shout "HALLELUJAH" because . . .

So many reasons to give God glory . . . I just want to add one more. . .

Living in Africa all their lives (from seven weeks old) until this weekend when we will begin our "empty nest" experience . . . our girls have never suffered severe physical trauma of any type . . . TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

He heard our prayers (and yours too), He has been faithful . . . and I know He will continue to do, "exceeding, abundantly, above all that we ask or think . . ."

He has blessed and kept us from all harm and danger, and seen us through every sickness or distress. What a MIGHTY GOD we serve! We give Him ALL the glory . . . and add just ONE MORE THANK YOU!!!
