God knows. God knows all. He sees where we cannot and makes provision ready for us before we even realize we have a need. During our last night in the US, we discovered (through the recommendation of one of our partners) that our girls will actually take their malaria medicine crushed up in peanut butter. Well, at that time, it was too late for us to have yet another footlocker and that filled with 50 lbs of American peanut butter! So, there came a point several weeks into our being here in country that we realized our meager supply we had brought was not going to be sufficient for the weeks between then and the fall teams that were scheduled to come. Well, Tracy put out a call on Facebook, asking if our friends knew of anyone who was coming this way sooner than later. There was no favorable response to that inquiry. HOWEVER, a number of you DID RESPOND to Tracy's post by asking, "Where can we mail you peanut butter???" And WOW, DID YOU! THANK YOU!
Now, due to the Ebola crisis in some West African countries (Burkina and the immediately surrounding countries not yet impacted), teams have been postponed until a later date. You can imagine our praise to God that you mailed us the peanut butter when you did. THANK YOU, LORD, AND THANK YOU OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!! God lovingly looked out for our girls and used your generosity and action to be the means of His care for them. Thank you for loving our family and mailing us American peanut butter and other things that are hard to come by here. We love you!
