"
The key to humility is to get your eyes off yourself and onto the one from whom and for whom and through whom all things are.“ ~

*I spoke about humility at church for the afternoon service this past week. This was a very stretching experience for me.
* We have been going to the local hospital to visit and pray over the sick. My heart aches with compassion when we are there and if it were up to me I would spend all day every day there. The first day we went we spent the whole time in the children’s ward. We spoke to parents, prayed over children, and tried to bring a few smiles to their sweet faces. One child stuck in my head all day.
Her name is Esther. This girl who looked to be no older than 2 was hanging limp in her grandmothers arms. Her body was emaciated; and I got the impression that with the slightest bump her bones might come right through her paper thin skin. I crouched down as her little hand grabbed my finger. Her grandma told us that when she was diagnosed with Tuberculosis her mother disappeared. Although I was thankful that Esther had a grandmother to hold her, I couldn’t understand how a mother could abandon such a sweet child. When we began to pray I asked God to not only restore her body wrecked by TB, but also to restore her mother to her. Even as we left the hospital I continued in this prayer. I know God loves Esther immeasurably, even if I never see little Esther again, I know that God will hold her in his hands. I ask you to join me in lifting this child up before the Father.
My time here is flying by, and with each new day I am thankful for my team, our leaders, the opportunity to experience this beautiful country and it's people, and for the presence of God in my life! Thank you to all who are and continue to pray for us! Hugs from here….Katie
