“There hath no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who
will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to
escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
1 Cor. 10:13 (KJV)
Dorothy,
my sister-in-law, arrived in Johannesburg on the morning of December 23rd. I
directed her to the hotel and decided to wait for her so that we could go to
the hospital together. As soon as Dorothy saw me, she collapsed into tears. It
was quite an emotional moment as we both cried for a while. When she freshened
up, we went off to the hospital.

Kechi appeared to have
passed a peaceful night. Her blood pressure was fine, temperature normal.
Dorothy
was wonderful. She immediately began to talk to Kechi, reading scripture to
her, and even making jokes to her. Kechi responded by moving her head from side
to side and we calmed her down.
The sister came in to
inform me that Kechi's surgery had been moved up to the afternoon and I had to
sign yet another consent form. I noticed that her face and arms were bleeding.
When we left the ICU,
we met Kathryn, Sarah's mother. Sarah and Erin and others were in the bus that
had an accident in Port Harcourt. We prayed
together and encouraged each other. When we got back to the
hotel, God moved again.
The front desk called
to tell me that they wanted to move me into a room with two beds at the same
price, because of Dorothy, and would move me back into a single room when
Dorothy left. This was pretty overwhelming to me. I did not know what to say.
We moved to the room next door and I simply knelt down and thanked God for His
favors...
To be continued...
