Another Day, Another Gift

Yesterday (Saturday) Janet had an excellent day of lucid and clear thinking. We see this as a true gift from the Father, as we try to use these times to find out what Janet "really" wants, and then we can follow through with her desires during the days when things aren't so clear or easy.

We are all exceptionally grateful for Trevor and Heather, who came to visit yesterday and talk to Janet about her options for care, now that being cared for at home is getting more difficult for us all (including Janet). Trevor is a missionary doctor here, and Janet respects him immensely. And so it was a glorious experience to feel God's presence in the room as Janet herself made the decision to be transferred to the hospital. We are moving that direction this morning, after we visit with Janet's oncologist. Please continue to pray for us all during this transition time. We are truly buoyed up by your prayers.

I (Pam) am writing this in the wee hours of the morning, as Janet has had another sleepless night and been up and down most of the night. In the past week, she has had one true night of sleep. I am especially touched to realize that when those of you in the U.S. pray, it is during those difficult night hours for us here. Thank you....

  1. Pam, I'm praying for you, and am glad you're back with Janet. Though she and I haven't been close friends, I have warm memories of her ever since I first met her at an NTEC retreat... The first one open to 'outsiders', so I was in! She's a beautiful woman! Inside and out! Please pass my fond greetings and hugs to her?
    Love,blessings, and continued prayers for all of you,
    Lianne
