Still in the learning process
"...I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." Philippians 4:11

I have not "arrived" yet. I'm still in the learning process. The last few days I have not felt content with life's circumstances. I want things moving forward, Malcom getting better, the day of returning to the field getting closer. I still question why God has allowed cancer to enter the equation of our life and ministry. The Lord is so patient with me, answering me through His Word, reminding me of verses such as:

It is a struggle to stay optimistic. My faith is strong, but I do become emotionally weary sometimes of the path. So I don't dare claim to have all the answers, but I am learning day by day to strive for contentment, giving my questions and my weariness to my Lord.

There has been no significant change in Malcom's condition since last week. He continues to be quite fatigued, probably due to the chemical affects of the chemo. He is still coughing and having some difficulty breathing. Please continue to hold him up in your prayers.

Your words again have been indeed a blessing and encouragment. Dealing with an unknown illness and deteriorating health, has been very difficult. Thank you for being so open and sharing your heart. We will continue to keep you in our prayers.
