It may not seem like the best idea to launch into a post about how I'm *not* up and contributing to the mission the Lord has called us on, but hey, the truth is I'm rocking a GI infection right now that has me laid out horizontal. I'm on Cipro and electrolytes and am eagerly looking forward to standing up and walking around...but not today. I'm beat down for now.
BUT I'm in Nessing with a great team (praise the Lord) of Americans, Nepalese (from all over Nepal), and even a Canadian. Because of my illness I've been gifted with an outpouring of love and care from everyone around me, which is deeply precious to me (praise the Lord!)--and wouldn't be available if I wasn't. Because of my illness the Lord has another opportunity to bring healing, personally, into *my* life (not just observing someone else's) through the prayers and skill of my friends here and brothers and sisters in Christ.
I'll get better. But how I get there is the delicious part.
I think sometimes bad things happen so that the Lord can have an opportunity to demonstrate His power through the faithfulness of the servants He calls. And if there's one thing I can vouch for about the team around us, it's that they are *definitely* faithful to the Lord's calling.
Don't get me wrong-I would love to be free of this thing-and it will happen-but until then I'm excited to see what the Lord does.
Aloha
Jack
