ER Scare

Late yesterday afternoon it was discovered that Rachael might have a problem with a fistula from her digestive tract.  Taking no chances, she was transported to the SMH ER and after a cat scan was found to be ok.  We are not sure of what caused the symptoms to appear and are seeking what God was showing us in this.  The event was a bit traumatic for Rachael.  She did well.  Upon returning to Heartland, we did get a wonderful word from a sister in Christ.  One of those type of things that are shared straight from God's word, penetrating and aptly spoken.  Nancy Rachael and myself ended the evening with a few moments of joy with Rachael offering audible laughter and a huge smile in response to some things we were saying.  Her smiles and laughs were timely, all most as if she knew what we were saying.  Who knows but God and Rachael?  Regardless, it was a sweet end to a rough night.

Hey Rachel and family!
SO sorry this is my first time messaging you! Rachel I miss you and your laugh! You kept things interesting for our unit this past summer :) Im praying for you girl! That God would be glorified in you and your family through this time. When I think about our meetings and some of the conversations we would have I remember how so willing you were to accept God's Word. He still holds those promises of peace and hope through His Son. May you wake up everyday to the reality of God's Word, what He has to say about things.
I love you!
