One of the things that we do twice weekly while on TREK is "work duties," which is basically serving God and His people in practical ways like doing gardening, cleaning gutters, rake leaves, pull weeds, etc.
So today, while doing some work duties around the MARK Centre, Dave (the only guy on TREK) carried a heavy broken pot that was filled with soil and while he was lifting it up to place it in the trailer, it slipped and a chunk of the pot cut into his left hand and made it bleed profusely. I, along with Lisa (another fellow TREKer), took him into the Abbotsford Emergency room. I would say that the gash in his hand was about 2-3 inches long. It was also about half an inch wide. It was bleeding a lot (did I already mention that?). But once the doctor gave him that sweet shot, Dave was all good! The doctor told us, "You guys can watch this...but I don't want for you faint!" So I got to see everything! Lisa chose not to watch most of it. It was awesome! Stitching is such an art...I kinda figured that out seeing the doctor give him the 10 stitches on his hand.
We praise God that it wasn't a deeper cut because that would've really been a lot worse for Dave and all of us! Please join us in praising God for keeping Dave safe, and pray that this will heal properly, not get infected, and not stop Dave from learning and growing everything that God has for him at this point.
Thank you for keeping up with me on this blog! This week, Randy Friesen (General Director of MBMSI, the organization TREK is under) is speaking to us about "Spiritual Authority." We have already learned so much, and we still have 2 more sessions with him. One of the main statements that has really stayed with me since he said it on Monday, was "Satan knows how much authority Christians have. But Christians don't know how much authority they have!" Wow, there have been so many things that Randy has said, that I'm just amazed! I have written things down, and once he finishes tomorrow (Wednesday), I will write a more in depth description on here.
Once again, thank you for your prayers and support! Blessings upon blessings!
In Christ,
Joanna
