A Jon Post
Another inter-continental voyage, many hours in airplanes, airports, and airtrains later… and we’re home. I apologize for three weeks of blog silence. While we were in the USA it was, honestly, a little tough to know what to share with you and how to use this blog to help people know and feel involved in what is going on in our ministry.
We did our best to sit down with as many of you as possible while we were in town. To those of you who took time out to see us we are so grateful and we are so blessed by your friendship and partnership. To those of you who we missed, we’re sorry and we don’t take for granted that you are there.
Since leaving back in November much has changed at the hospital. Though we expected it and tried to prepare our hearts for it, many dear friends died while we were gone. It’s hard to be able to tell someone “goodbye, I’ll see you soon”.
But, it is good to visit again and hug necks, kiss cheeks and shake hands of friends still there. I sat with three old friends and laughed, hugged, and talked together on Wednesday. It was so familiar and so missed to sit in that hospital room and smile with each other. Praying over a sick boy with his father was moving and honoring. When a young body is stricken with cancer and malaria at the same time there is much pain.
Our hearts are full and our lips smile often.
We are home.
My Favorite Girls
My heart is tweaked as I visualize you with your dear friends there in the hospital … you praying for the little boy … the mingled angst and hope written on his father’s face … you and your favorite girls doing life once again in the home that God has made for you in Mozambique. I’m so glad to be reading this blog and knowing you are doing the works that God prepared beforehand for you to do. Yes, I am glad :-)
Oh! I so agree with Vicki it is good to hear you guys “all” doing what God called you to and ya’ll love to do :) Bittersweet for us here in Texas missing having ya’ll with us yet VERY grateful for the time we had and thoughts of “next” time! Oh! I thank God for using you four in such a beautiful way….
