recovered from a quick version of the bhobonic (no idea how to spell that) plaugue!
Sometimes my heart rebels and aches to be “home” where I am comfortable, able to communicate, not under intense spiritual oppression and with the people I know and love. During those times when my heart rebels, I go to the THRONE of grace with confidence and truly have learned to find help and hope in my time of need.
hehhee.. other times my physical body rebels about being here and longs to be in america where the meat is always identifiable and the water drinkable. On those times I spend time at a different throne. Hahaha.. Sunday night I got what I call the bhobonic plague with a fever of 104 and much time on the throne. So Monday I was sick and stayed home all day and basically didn’t move out of the bed, except to get the spirte that my friend scarlet so lovingly brought, and the antibiotics that my other friend brought.
And glory to God I woke up this morning with feeling much much better! Glory. It’s amazing how much more I appreciate physical health when I have been sick. SO praise God I feel better and I will be able to have language lessons (I canceled yesterday– i still don’t know how to politely say in nep. Wait a minute please.. i have explosive diarhea!).
So during my sick time I had time to just pray and rest in the Lord. I read over some of my old journals and am just praising God how He is always faithful to work in our lives.
He is the same yesterday, today and tommorow!
Please pray for my grandfather and my family– my grandmother died two weeks ago, and two days ago my grandfather’s brother died unexpectedly. Just pray for them as they go to the funeral and such.
i love you guys.. did i mention that!
Hey Jenn,
I am so glad that you are feeling better! I am sorry that you have faced another illness, but PTL that it has passed. When I read your title that you are a lightbulb in the darkness, it made me think about how satan will try anything to turn off your light. He may not have anything to do with your sickness, but he proably tried to hang close by your “throne” to remind you of the things back in the states that would be more comforting to you in time of pain physically or emotionally. I have to remind myslef when I am faced with so much oppression and turmoil, that I must be where I am or else satan would not be messing with me so much. (((hugs))) from cyber world!
Love ya,
Leanne
I don’t like this whole you being sick thing. I am praying extra hard for you and for God’s protection. I miss you dearie. Can we have a phone date soon? I love you!
Jenn,
wow! You are such a servant. I love you and appreciate your example. Keep being “explosive” for God, except in a different sort of way. I’m proud of you and miss you.

Hi Jenn,
I’m so sorry you have had another bout of stomach problems, but I thank God they have both been short-lived. It’s amazing that you can keep such a great sense of humor in the midst of being sick.
I’ve learned a very valuable lesson today. Don’t ever try to read one of Jenn’s blogs while you are half-way listening to a phone conversation with you mother who is telling you what time she went to bed last night. I found that you never know when Jenn is going to make a hysterical comment, and you will find yourself laughing out loud at a very inappropriate time!
On a more serious note, the Lord reminded me of a scripture as I was reading your comments about the intense spiritual oppression you feel there. In the Amplified Bible, Isaiah 59:19-20 says:
“So [as the result of the Messiah’s intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives]. He shall come as a Redeemer to Zion and to those in Jacob (Israel) who turn from transgression, says the Lord.”
I’m going to claim this scripture for you and trust that the Lord will raise up a standard against the spiritual oppression you feel and that He will put the enemy to flight.
I’ll continue praying for your family as well. I’m so sorry your grandfather and the rest of the family has experienced so much loss in such a short amount of time.
Love you bunches,
Sandra
Jenn,
Hey girl, Hope you are still feeling better. I heard a story on KLOVe radio online about there being a greater intrest in the Bibbles in Nep, and there is great hope for Nep to find the way- Lifting you up. I work the helpline so I may not be online tonight. Lifting you up! You make me giggle! Love you!
I am soooo very sorry that you have been sick again! I am happy that you are feeling better. I do not like you begin sick so much! Take care of yourself and maybe don’t eat any mystery meat for a while. ha! Momma Ellis
