this is from my myspace..i didnt feel like rewriting it.
faith--
okay so here's the deal. alot has happened lately. my uncle and aunt recently left to go to africa. they had been struggling with this decision for awhile but they knew they were called by God to be missionaries there. and i thought that was pretty cool. and i admit i was excited for them but then again i almost didnt want them to go because i knew that alot could happen, i mean its not the safest place to be. in fact, theres been a lot of fighting over there lately. but i knew that they were doing a good thing.
so the other day, right before i left for girls retreat, i found out that my uncle was tested for malaria and he tested postive for it. i really didnt know what to think. i didnt really know alot about it i just knew that he could possibly die from it. so basically i just wanted him to come home. i was being selfish i know but im a worrier and i figured if he just came home things would get better. i got an email later finding out that they had also been robbed. i mean i was amazed. but after EVERYTHING you could imagine happening to them, they still have this unbelievable, untouchable faith!
they constantly amaze me. here i am, worrying over the silliest stuff at home when all this happens to them and all they can say is they're in God's hands and that He can do whatever He wants to do with theyre money and everything else. wow. that was like something just slapped me in the face. if i ever needed an example of complete faith and just TRUST...that was it.
please keep them in your prayers..they're amazing people. and i love them. and i know now that they'll be alright....
