Yesterday, we received 49 boxes of stock. My shoulders are still sore. But it's such a blessing that it all came, because we (the Clinic) have been out of very basic things (such as - Tylenol, children's cough suppressant, large gauss pads, and strong pain relievers) for over 3 weeks. The South African government does not seem to have a free, public health clinic at the top of it's list of priorities. But that's just my opinion, and may, or may not be the case.
Each day before walking inside the Clinic, Brittany and I pray. A short list of the things we lift up to God is as follows –
We pray for unity among the Clinic's staff.
We pray against the spirit of darkness and of gossip in the Clinic.
We pray for an atmosphere of light and hope.
We lift up the patients, and ask a special blessing for everyone who comes to the Clinic seeking medical care.
We ask God to be with us.
We pray that we would take the opportunity to witness.
We pray that everyone who looks at us would see Him, and not us.
We pray for courage.
We thank God for the privilege to serve Him in the Clinic.
I guess we spend a long time in prayer each morning, and since I'm about to run out of internet time, I will have to cut the list short.
Much Love, Andrea
