Dutch 091108

Hi everyone,

Thank you EVER so much for your offer to help in any way. It is so very much appreciated.

As it is, I really don't know what to ask for. Today we really needed to rest. Dutch got a lot of it, I am too wired and couldn't sleep. Hopefully tonight. Both of us and Dutch especially, are on a diabetic and salt free diet (not that we totally adhere to it) so I don't know what meals would be easy to fix. I am experimenting in my old age and trying to cook from scratch to eliminate added salt and sugars. Who knew they were in EVERYTHING!! It's kind of fun and Dutch has been much more willing to suffer through my experiments. As we speak, I am trying my hand at some tomato soup made from scratch. I'm telling you, I don't cook!! :-)))

We have a lady who is supposed to be very interested in buying our business, so we will have to gather our thoughts and prayers to move that along as much as it depends on us. There is much to do, but I just can't think what you could help me with. Having said that, you ALREADY helped beyond measure! Your prayers have meant more to us than you can possibly imagine. God has been so very faithful and present and I know your prayers have contributed to that. Yesterday I thought I would be coming home alone from the hospital and God was gracious and gave us more time. I'll talk more about that perhaps in the coming days. I have a very strong sense that this is our Gilgad and that we will be taking many stones away from here.

Need to check on my soup.

Hi Gaby! Thanks for 'following' my blog :) Wow, I am about to leave in 3 days. Thank you for the excerpts of your book. I plan to read more of it when I am back in the States and at a more reliable internet connection! Knitting has meant so very much to the ladies here in Liberia. Today they thanked me today by giving me a beautiful African outfit. Funny how God works when we just heed his call ... the rest is up to Him and we can just be ourselves ... someone He just honors that and blesses us. :) Thank you for your blog posts... Please take care -- praying for Dutch!
