Have you noticed how good articles and blogs usually builds up to a climax... the whao moment, the paragraph that stays with you all day long, which defines the essence of the book? Wouldn't it be nice to read a blog where the author gives you the WHAO moment upfront?  You don't have to scroll down and see how the blog ends etc. This is going to be THAT kind of blog, right now. Ready for it?

 

In our last blog we gave you an update on Jodi's health. She had a staph infection in her bladder and we were seriously concerned about her health, especially fearing more cysts on her ovaries. She was very tired and felt bad most of the time. GREAT was our surprise when the gynecologist told us that the "cyst" had a heart beat. Ha-ha. We were SHOCKED.

Jodi and I are doing very well. Actually, to tell you the truth, we have never been any better. We have decided to make our marriage our priority, to place it above any expectations, above people, above what we believe God has called us to do here in Africa. Our foundation is stronger, more secure and I can honestly tell you that I love my wife so much, that I am in love with her and that I cannot wait for God to write this new chapter in our lives. It is amazing when we understand that God's economy is so much different from our own. It has brought Jodi and me freedom, life, abundance and exuberant amounts of love.

We will be back in Swaziland very soon. Please pray with us for a house. We are still on a waiting list as house #7 fell through. I will be in Swaziland next week looking for a place for us...again.

Jodi and I would like to acknowledge Ragie Venter, Stephan and Janine Greyling and my bother, Tinus and his wife Lynette. These people have opened up their hearts and homes to us while we were here in South Africa recovering. We are in awe of your generosity. Thank you.

Marius and Jodi
