A Jon Post
I apologize for this post being a week late.
Earlier this week when I had intended to blog we had a minor medical emergency. Layne was putting Anaya down for a nap and in just reaching over to put her in her bed Layne’s back bent wrong and she immediately knew that it was trouble. Just walking into the kitchen to me she knew that this was a problem and when we realized how serious it was I packed the car and we drove to South Africa three hours away to the only chiropractor we know of who is experienced in helping pregnant women. Layne was in agony for much of that time and we spent two nights there in South Africa rather than put her back in the car for that time.
She has been recovering slowly since then and her back is on the mend though not completely pain-free. Please pray with us that she fully recovers quickly. It is extremely hard on both her and Anaya that Layne is unable to pick up and hold her daughter.
Tropical Storm Irina
This weekend and into the beginning of next week we are bracing for Tropical Storm Irina to dump a lot of wind and rain on us. It was a tropical cyclone but has been downgraded (praise God) as it’s approached Maputo. We may have little or no power for the next few days so we are “battening down the hatches” as it were and preparing for that as best we can.
God has blessed us so much to have such faithful prayer partners in those of you who read this. Thank you.
God is good and enough but never can we get too much prayer, so I will continue to pray for all of you. Much love to all 4 of you as well :)
Oh, Layne, so sorry about your back! I know EXACTLY how it hurts as I have done that same twice in my life and I remember the exact moment of both! I’m glad you could get to help. I will pray for your continued healing each day. It just takes time but it does get better. Enjoy your time with Anaya as you stay close to home and recover. These are precious moments to play, read and sing little songs to her—lots of wonderful one-on-one time that God has provided. Once this new little bundle of joy arrives, you will be so busy taking care of two children! God does work in mysterious and wonderful ways.
Always praying for you and your family. Love, Nancy and Norman

Layne,
I am so sorry. I am praying lots for you. Trusting that you will be pain free and back to normal VERY quickly.
Love and prayers to all of you.
Loving you and praying for you. May the Lord in His amazing mercy and His powerful grace bring you healing so that you KNOW it is His doing.
Also praying for your safety during the storm and that of the people you serve. Again, God’s mercy and grace!
God does show us the way
