Health Stuff In Mexico and Getting A Blessing

 Dear Kids, 

I received a blessing last night because I've been having some health issues rise up while we've been here.  Everyone's stomach's have been bothering them a bit, on and off, and I felt like I wanted direction with all of that. 

In the last two weeks I've had issues with a UTI, Kidney's hurting me and digestion. Thankfully the UTI has settled down and my kidney's are MUCH better. But the digestive issues are still a mystery. We've been careful about washing our food and cooking things. The rule when you live out of the country is if you can't peel it or cook it, then don't eat it. 

But we apparently need to be more vigilant in that arena. 

The blessing that was given to me told us that everything we are experiencing with digestion is to teach us what is common. That was an interesting way to put it. I felt especially that it is good for us to experience things that help us understand how blessed we are and have been with our health. The Lord told me that nothing is or will be life threatening, but that my mind will be illuminated with what we need to do that we need to "bear it well". 

The other part of the blessing talked about what we are doing here - mainly getting these spiritually focused podcasts finished up. The Lord told me that you will remember this experience and see the sacrifices we made in order to follow the Lord's direction and counsel. I pray for that so much! I pray that you will have deposits given into your souls because of what we are choosing to do for the Lord. I was told that generations from now will be blessed because of our efforts. Praise the Lord for that!! There are going to be millions of people who will hear and benefit from what we are doing. I just pray that all of this will be used the way the Lord intends it to be used. These skills need to be accessible in a different format for the world to benefit thereby. I know that in my soul. I'm just humbled and grateful that He asked us to do it. 

Kids, we live in a fallen world. There are so many things that happen everyday that witness of that. But we have a Savior that helps to lift us from it all. I praise my Savior everyday! When I wake up in the morning, I praise Him! I give Him all the glory!

I love you, 

Your Mom
