Hey everyone, thank you all so much for praying for me! God has been so good throughout this whole situation, even when everything seems so overwhelming. I don’t know how it will unfold, but this is an awesome opportunity to see God’s hand at work!
I was discharged on Friday, and I am waiting for the rest of my lab results to come in this week at my follow up. Thankfully, they definitely ruled out TB. Unfortunately, it seems like I am either getting worse at times or experiencing side effects from my meds. I am also supposed to avoid foods with tyramine in them which essentially means I am supposed to only eat fresh food minus a lot of other foods. Also, I got word from my boss that he put me on FMLA, but I don’t get sick pay due to being part time.
On a positive note, I was able to reconnect with C again and get his email! We discussed having phone calls for discipleship since I can’t drive right now, and we also talked about baptism and eventually getting baptized. Afterwards, I was able to send him verses on baptism for him to read for himself.
Prayer requests:
- For a steady recovery.
- For me to figure out my new diet
- For me to be able to balance resting and not falling behind on schoolwork. And learn how to actually rest
- For God to provide during this time of financial need.
- For C to start growing in the Lord and becoming a mature Christian. Also, for him to get baptized and join a local Church.
- For the Muslim family to actually read the Gospel of John I gave them a few weeks ago. Lord willing, by the time I get strong enough to visit them, they will have forgotten that they told me to not come back. It also might help to have improved in my Arabic and understanding of Syrian culture when I do visit, so pray that I can effectively learn these things by then. If not me, then pray that God will send someone else their way to water the seeds planted.
