This
morning I woke up and started checking Facebook to see what was going on with
some of my friends around the world before I actually started getting ready for
the day, and it’s amazing how God always just puts the important stuff at the
top of my news feed. Anyways, I opened Facebook and at the top of my newsfeed I
read this status that my mom had posted a couple of hours earlier saying, “Please
pray for Nomsa. Her body is in seizure and she has very little use of her legs.
She is back at the TB Hospital today after a very bad day at a church where she
was being prayed for. Can't share details, but many evil things happened and
were spoken over her. She is terrified and couldn't hold the phone due to seizures.
I will go see her tomorrow. Praying for wisdom and strength for all. Welcome home.”
Let
me first say, I love living here in Taichung, Taiwan, but when I see that
status of what’s going on in my mom’s life right now, a 15-hour flight away
from me at home, it makes me wish I were there. On top of that, it’s Nomsa, my
big sister. I can’t hug her or be there for her. I can’t hug my mom and
encourage her. I can’t go with her to the TB hospital today to see Nomsa and
encourage her.
On the other side of the world, a few weeks ago Spencer got a 3rd degree burn on his hand and didn’t have any of us there either. He’s doing well now, but at the time my heart was in my stomach for him and I wished I could at least be there for him.

It’s
times like these that you miss your family in each different part of the world.
You wish that you could just be THERE for them. With internet I’m kept up to
date, even if the time is delayed a little bit, and I can encourage my family
and pray for them when I can’t literally be there for them. But it’s not the
same. Today my thoughts and prayers will be with Nomsa and my mom. I'll get to
see my mom in about a month when she comes to visit, and I'm praying I'll get
to see Nomsa at least one more time when I go back home to Swaziland for
Christmas.

I love you so much Nomsa. I love you, i miss you so much and I am praying for you. I wish I could be there for you right now. Please get better.
Please.
