This weeks blessings

Greetings,

This has been a week of some really neat things.  I am so praising the Lord for being with us in all situations and just wanted to share with you all how HE answers prayers and is always right there with us.

Last Sunday we didn't have a speaker at English church and I felt the Lord had me share something I had just read in a magazine by Dr. Mark Rutland.  It was on David, and his life BEFORE Goliath.  A very pointed story on "waiting on the Lord".  I was a bit hesitant but thought I'd do it anyway.  It went over well and I think touched some hearts on waiting on God to answer prayers instead of pushing ahead with what we felt the answer should be. 

On Tuesday, another rough day at the airport, with trying to get things accomplished between Spirit Air and American Airlines.  But we did it.  and then it was home to decorate the cakes for Pastor Paul and Miss Belle Romeus' party the next day.  I remembered why I do not decorate cakes in Haiti... .  But I did most of what I could do and then knew the rest would be when I took it to their home.  What a JOY and BLESSING it was to be there for them.  They celebrated their 45th anniversary, their house warming (for their new home) and Miss Belle's birthday....was that 29 yet again???  An added blessing was their daughter Picole and her daughter Claudia, were there from California to celebrate with them.  There were so many there to honor them and celebrate with them.  A LOT of pastors who they have helped through the years and a lot of close friends who honor and respect them.  And it was an honor to be a part of that!!!!  Here are Paul and Belle.  And the picture I had done for their anniversary and cake.

This is Claudia, Belle and Picole... great family!!

And then there is Belle and me...

On to today....  We have not gone out to see Cequer since his accident.  We felt very strongly that the Haitian community needed to be praying for him and seeing the Lord answer THEIR prayers.  We didn't want there to be that statement, "well, the white people came in and prayed and he was healed."  We wanted the Haitians to see that the Lord uses THEM to bring victory to this country.  And did HE ever!!!  We had a wonderful time with Cequer and shared our love and prayers of others with him as well.  The one down side to all of this was his mother.  She had come to help out and be with him through all of his struggles.  Then she fell and broke her arm in two places.  So, she is there with Cequer, in a cast.  Please keep her in prayer.  But I wanted to especially share with you, all of you who have been praying for him, that he is about 90% on the way to total healing!!!  Oh how we rejoiced with him.  We knew last weekend that a real breakthrough had occured, when he called us and asked who was doing all of our paperwork on the trucks.  That was his job and he was concerned about it.  And then today, sitting and sharing with him, we knew without a shadow of doubt that he has been an answer to prayers of SO MANY people.  What a joy and what a blessing it was.  And his mom, although in pain, was rejoicing with his healing as well.  Our miracle Cequer, happy and healthy!!

I have attached these few photos here, to let you share in our week.  But, I want to thank all of you who have kept Cequer in prayer and ask you to not let up.  He has metal attached to his ankle and will have to go back in 2+ months to have it removed.  But the outlook is 100% positive!!! 

Thank you all for keeping us and Cequer in prayer.  I haven't shared a lot of other things from this week but will do that in the near future.  Just wanted to share God's blessings for today!!!

Blessings for Haiti to you!!!
