Sufficient Grace

  • The end of the story.

    “And he said unto me, ‘My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Karen Beryl (Miller) Gebbie, was born on the 13th of January 1969 at the Sudan Interior Mission station…

  • Interlude

    This is Lynn, writing an update at Karen’s request. She hopes to blog again but has been hindered by a combination of illness and technology glitches. The family is getting over a bout with Covid. Karen’s recovery was complicated by a clog in the  feeding tube by which everything is delivered (food, liquids, medication). Medication…

  • Food

    35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:35 I’m finding that food is the most difficult thing to let go of. I have always loved food and never been one to go on special diets. Any food is good in moderation has been my motto. Many times I have cried while watching my family eat without me.…

  • Patience in Suffering

    28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and…

  • Loss to Gain

    I realize that I haven’t blogged recently. I have been sick with a cold and busy with wonderful visitors and “celebrating” two family birthdays with a mixture of joy and sadness, wondering if I will be here to celebrate any more with my family, and adjusting to more losses. One of the recent losses has…

  • The blessings of friends, and…

    bladder spasms. Being real here. This has been quite the week. The technology saga continues and I am currently using the old machine. Feeling a bit reluctant to brave the dancing dot of the new machine to try a positioning fix that I don’t think is going to work, I have opted to put on…

  • Quick Update

    It has been communicated to me that I should put an update on the blog after a few people raised concerns about the authors wellbeing. The communication device died on Sunday and has had to be shipped back to be replaced. It is unknown the  exact timeline until the new device arrives. “She may be…

  • Frustration

    What do you do when your technology doesn’t work? It is your primary means of communication and your connection with the outside world. And it has seemingly taken on a life of its own, typing gibberish and clicking on pages you do not want to use and refusing to go where you want it. Well…

  • In Which I Narrowly Miss Being Disqualified From a Study….

    and I may end up being Disqualified anyway. It started last Wednesday. We had gone to London for our regular study visit and had taken all the tests and blood work and were meeting with the doctor when the subject of my emergency room visit came up. Almost simultaneously my daughter’s phone went off. She…

  • Friends and Tears

    “In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.” Psalm 138: 3 Last week was a bit of a blur that ended with me not feeling well at all. As it was unclear what was going on with me, I ended up in the back of an…
