God's grace

It turns out that Travis does not have kidney stones and they will just keep treating him for a kidney infection. We are so thankful that it is not anything worse and that it is treatable. Travis had a long day in Nairobi today. Him and Jon got up early and went to the place to have the C-scan, when they go there they found out the machine broke the night before..go figure. So they headed to plan B which was to get an IV with dye so they could see if there was any blockage. After 4 hours of laying on the table he then found out that he had no stones. Jon sent the girls and I some pictures of Travis laying on the table with the IV. The girls really enjoyed that considering they miss him so much. We are so thankful for God's grace in our lives and His protection over us. The past few days of not knowing has been hard but God's unfailing grace has carried us and given us peace. It seems like the past couple months have been hard in many ways for us but through it all we have learned so much about God's grace. I could go on and list the "woes" of the past weeks but I would rather give glory to God for His Grace in our lives and for teaching us so much through it all.

God is so good. We'll continue to pray, but we are so glad it wasn't stones.

You have a hard job, Laura, but you are right -- God provides the grace to get you through it.

Here's something I enjoyed today. See if you can take a look at it when you get a chance.

Take care, and keep pressing on!

I am so blessed by your faithful witness of his strength being made perfect in your life.

You are a godly example and I'm glad to know you.

You will remain in our prayers.

Laura,

I agree with the statements about giving God the glory and our focus on Him during these times. Kat and I draw so much strength and encouragement from you and T. Counting the days until we are together with you, Travis and the girls in Sekenani growing in friendship and fellowship. We love you all. Talk to you soon.

hi laura, I haven't been on here for a few days and just saw all the notes. Praise God that Travis is ok and that y'all are ok while you wait. Praise God for His strength.
