Do I See April??

Preemie baby-Kenneth

So it is getting close to a month since I have posted! Please do forgive me! I always have good intentions of blogging and then I just never do! :) The last several weeks have been different for me as far as my work schedule goes! Last week Linda and I worked a crazy 16 hour shift for 3 nights! You go into work at 4:30 pm and leave at 8 am the following morning! You try and nap here and there but it does get very tiring! The one nite was a little crazy! A girl by the name of Hope was hanging on by a string for awhile! Thank you all at home that were praying for her! Hope was able to pull thru however she still has some health issues! She is approx. 2 years old and is severely malnourished and was dehydrated as well! Another baby by the name of Kenneth is in our preemie room and he had some spells where he stopped breathing. I should mention that while we were on nite shift we were able to work in the preemie room and feed and hold these dear ones! It was so special...and just to think how fearfully and wonderfully we are made!

So now I am to this week and am currently living back out at the Suubi Babies Home for a period of 2 weeks before finishing my remaining time in Kampala at the Bulrushes! It is not always for me to live out here but trusting God to give me strength! Seems everytime I come out here I can me an emotional mess! But I know better days are ahead! Hard to believe I will be coming home in 41 days! Not sure where the time has gone but it has been an incredible journey and I know God still has great things for me in the next month!

Please continue to pray for Hope and Kenneth and should I say all the babies in general! I am so excited to see the journey God is going to take these amazing children on in their lives! It is such an honor to get to play such a small part in their lives! They have truly been a blessing to me and have taught soooo much!

Another prayer request I may add is that with God on my side that I can defeat Satan daily! I have really felt the presence of this greater force surrounding me the last week or so! It is very scary at times! Satan knows how to get you when you are weak! A friend of mine shared 1 John 4 with me and that was so encouraging to my heart!

Much love to all!
For the children, Kara
