Last weekend we travelled down to Hilton in the Natal Midlands, for the conference at Trinity Church. What a beautiful part of the world. We stayed with wonderful people, and met many more over the course of the weekend. The conference took place on Saturday, and Murray and I spoke in each of the three different sessions, along with two other couples who have faced some hectic trials. I shared a bit of our testimony again in the church service on Sunday morning. It was tough for us to talk about our journey with Cam, but probably quite good for us, too. We were utterly physically exhausted by Saturday afternoon – we hadn’t realised how much it would take out of us. But, it seems that people were blessed and encouraged, and we were humbled and grateful to have been used in whatever way God may have chosen.
Amidst the heaviness of the weekend there were some light moments. Cam was with us, of course, and he was so good. We took turns to keep him busy at the back of the church with plenty of toys, and another little boy. He was exceedingly cheerful and oblivious, for which I am very grateful, and at one stage he announced very loudly, ‘Want to wee on Cammy’s potty!’ Another time, while Murray was sharing, he thought it appropriate to sing ‘Jesus loves me.’ Very loudly. :)
His sleeping is going so-so. He needs lots of comforting during the night, and lots of singing... But it’s hard to be mad at him at 3:00 am when he feels my face and says, ‘Mommy’s so pretty!’ I pray a lot that he would start sleeping through the night again, and that he would decide that vegetables are indeed palatable, but I’m also trying not to major on the minors, and to have discernment and wisdom, choosing to err on the side of comforting him too much rather than missing something that may be troubling his little heart. I’m also very aware that he will only be little for a little while longer, and probably a time will come when I will quite miss him feeling my face at 3:00 am. As for the vegetables, I persevere. And I am grateful for Junglevites!
Cam’s EUA at the Pretoria Eye Institute is now scheduled for Friday 28th May.
The photos are of the busy little gardener, collecting leaves in his wheelbarrow. He also took great delight in wearing his swimming goggles for part of the trip home last Sunday.
