Sickness Update 2
In our last blog I mentioned that we had taken Alina to the doctor for a malaria test which came back negative. The doctor also checked her lungs for pneumonia and wasn’t able to find anything wrong but over the weekend she continued to have a fever. On Tuesday I took her to the clinic and she was seen by a US doctor that just arrived in Mzuzu last week. She checked her lungs and immediately diagnosed pneumonia. We were shocked but thankful that we found the solution to her lingering illness. She is doing much better now and we all got a good night’s rest last night
BTW, we never got to go away for the weekend but instead went to the lake for the day on Monday. We had a wonderful time as the weather was beautiful, the kids got to swim in the pool at the hotel, and we had a very good lunch at the hotel. The beach and pool were deserted so we were able to relax without the local children staring at us. We came home refreshed and a little sunburned.
We don’t understand why we have been going through these trials but we know that we serve a loving God who ONLY wants what is best for us. The following verses were some of a collection of verses sent to us by a friend and they were a blessing and an encouragement to us (thanks Josh). I hope they will be to you too.
“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” Romans 5:3-11
"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Psalms 84:11
"The LORD is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works." Psalm 145:17
