I just returned home from a quick trip to the States. Two weeks ago I got a phone call to come home quickly because my niece who has cancer was not doing well. When I got there I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. Her liver has stopped working and she was swelling from the poisons in her body. While I was there we got the report back from her liver biopsy that 1/3 of her liver was still alive. I am happy to say that the Lord still works miracles. Her liver started working again and before I returned home she was well enough to be out of the hospital. Please continue to pray for her as she still has a long road ahead of her as her liver continues to heal.
I had a wonderful time visiting my family as well as visiting my Grandpa who was just diagnosed with cancer and is also having heart problems. My family and I traveled down to Grandpa’s house which is located in the midst of the few mountain ranges we actually have in southeast Oklahoma. We made some wonderful memories with Grandpa those two days we were with him on his farm. When we got there he informed us if we wanted supper we had better start catching the fish. My four sisters, one brother, Mom, Dad, and I headed out to the pond and began to fish. Grandpa joined us and we brought in a total of seven huge catfish and one bass. We ate all the wonderful catfish you could possibly eat that night!
The next day all of us kids with my cousin got in the back of my aunt’s truck with my Aunt, Mom, Dad, and Grandpa in the front. We took off and drove all over the mountains that surround my Grandpa’s farm. My Grandpa and Aunt surprised us with a picnic at a beautiful spot by the creek where my Grandpa used to take my Grandma for picnics. =) God has truly blessed me with a wonderful family!
It was also a joy to see everyone at my home church. I thank the Lord that he gave me a wonderful two weeks back in the States and that I did not end the trip having to attend a funeral, but spent a wonderful day visiting with my niece before I headed home (Kenya). I miss my family and my church family back in the States, but there is nothing like being back home here in Kenya. The Lord has some great things in store for this year and I am looking forward to sharing them with you as they happen!
