What is up?

So for some reason no computer will allow me to get into my blog to update. I went ahead and used face book for the first post so this post will be a little more direct and to the point. Lol!

So I arrived Friday at 12am and was greeted by the heat and aroma of Cebu. I for got just how humid it is. I was excited to hear that they are in their hot months and it doesn't get much hotter than this. Yippy!! Any hotter and I think I would melt away.

The clinic is so cute and cozy. They have done a great job on the decorating. From the sheets to the wall hangings, the it has an inviting feeling.

The staff have been a real encouragement. They have a real heart for Jesus and to know Him more. Hearing their stories has open my eyes to see that people deal with similar problems I do and that Jesus is present across the world. It is easy for me to be inner focused and forget this.

No deliveries yet, but I have been able to help with some postpartum and visit the local hospital. Wow! We have it good in America. I will complain. There are 2-3 people to a bed in a room filled with rows after row of beds. There is so many patients to one nurse that it is like impossible to give good care.

One thing that really stood out at the hospital is that they do not have ventilator machines so the family has to sit there and bag. No kidding!! Young and old. Just think of those preemie babies. There is no guarantee that you are giving enough air and at the right at the right speed.

I went to Hilary and David's church called City church. Wow!! Can they worship. I felt I was in youth camp. Jumping, shouting, raising hands, shouting amen, responding to the preacher's questions and loud. It was really cool to be able to worship like that. I guess that most Christian churches in the Philippines are like that.

The best comment the pastor gave was "being single means that you get to spend more to with Jesus." Amen!!

Thank you for following my journey.i could use prayer for:

To keep Jesus Center of all
To not get Dingy Fever
To have boldness
For Hilary and David to find rest
To see a labor and delivery.


Praise
BM are getting back to normal
Getting more of a restful night of sleep
No dingy fever, enough though I have 6 bites on right leg and 2 on left. I guess the right leg tastes better
The social worker had safe travels to family

Let me know how I can pray for you. Have an amazing day!!
