Here we are on Day 7 of our Fundraising Road Trip. Things
have gone a little stranger than anticipated. But with every great adventurous
road trip comes the possibility of a few detours and road blocks, right?!
This past Saturday evening, Amy began having pains in her upper
abdomen that have yet to let up. With our flight to Zambia taking off in just 6
days, we decided to dive headfirst into a whirlwind of medical visits to try to
find a diagnosis and treatment while still in the land of premium healthcare
options.
We’ve been to 4 different offices. Amy’s been poked and
prodded. And when it all looked impossible to see a particular specialist, God
made a way in providing a last-minute cancellation, which we squeezed into this
morning.
The great news- it doesn’t appear to be anything serious.
Every test has come back negative, and that’s a huge praise. We’re currently
awaiting one particular test’s results to determine next steps, weighing the
very real possibility of having to delay our trip back until we can get to the
bottom of this mystery pain.
We’ll keep y’all posted as we decide our next steps and
would greatly appreciate your prayers. Prayers for a speedy and accurate
diagnosis, for a treatment to cure the pain and weakness, for discernment on
next steps, next procedures, next doctors, and prayers for hearts that trust
through every step.
And if we can be vulnerable and honest for a hot second,
it’s been a tough few days. We were only able to attend 4 out of 10 meetings
with potential supporters so far. This health issue seems a bit inconvenient which feels ridiculous to
admit, but the timing of it all has forced us to gain a fresh perspective in
God’s sovereignty.
We don’t know why Amy has developed this health issue during
the only time we’ve been able to solely fundraise this year. But He is not
surprised at the timing. He is bigger than any health issues. He is able to
provide for our every need despite our setback in fundraising plans. He knows
what He’s doing. And He is trustworthy and good.
So in the midst of the chaos of blood panels and
anxiety-inducing doctors visits (for Amy), and the very real possibility of
having to delay our return to our home in Zambia, it is okay. We are not alone.
And God is in control.
We love y’all and are grateful for your prayers and care.
Love,
A&W
