The wheelchair consignment for which I requested prayer was released from Mombasa and finally arrived here safely this morning.
So thankful
Now we'll be able to help more than 150 of the most marginalised people here.

I was afraid my dad would have to start aggressive, intravenous chemo for stage 4 cancer possibly this week, but when we got to the oncologist who had his latest lab tests, we found that the oral meds seemed to have been doing their job and the chemo has been held off for at least eight weeks. Maybe more. Yay! Praise God! ![[Yipee]](graemlins/spin.gif)

Just got the news that I passed round 2 of the online selection tests for a job I'd love to do.
There are several most steps to go and it is very unlikely that I will get it but at least I now have a chance.
I am so thankful for this glimmer of hope after months (ok, years) of bleakness and for the friends who have been so supportive all along. May I not forget to be grateful even if I don't get the job.

It's nearing the end of my first year as a schoolteacher, and I have not yet been asked back for a second year at my current school, and I'm starting to get feelers from other districts. So I took my metaphorical hat in my hand and went to my principal (UK: headmistress). I asked if I should be applying for positions in other districts and she said, "Please don't."
I said I didn't know if they were going to ask me back and needed to start thinking about where to work next year if they don't. She said if they were planning on bouncing me I'd have known about it already and some time back, and she has heard nothing from anybody that would make her not want me around next year. So no, don't go looking for another job, expect to be here next year.
Definitely a load off, and made me feel good too! Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm alive and doin' fine!

Our head of department, M is back!
I mentioned this guy back in September. He beat lymphoma about six years ago then after five clear, it returned. He's had a couple of courses of chemotheorapy and the medics are happy for him to return to work. I think he is too. Apart from being a bit thinner in body and hair, he's looking OK.

I'm so grateful , after hearing various stories about why people voted the way they did in the election, that my parents brought me up to be interested in politics. The fact they gave me a love of the Marx Brothers was a good thing too.

We had a lovely time i the church, all of India people. We sang "Kushi Kushi" Indian, as well as singing English ones. My son was doing the piano and did well. Some spoke well and some led the songs.
And his little son 'A' is now well.

That's lovely to hear. I can understand your happiness. My son who plays piano and keyboard has been off his church's music roster for 18 months for various reasons. Today was his second time on keyboard after that break. So happy for him.

Yay Loth, that's good news
Meanwhile MrP's previous employers have discovered that he is indispensable (at least until it occurs to them to ask for full documentation of the software he has written for them) and they want him back - badly enough to agree to more generous terms than they would give him before. Working for them is not optimal - but is better than not working. Such a relief.
