Sitting at a lovely restaurant, letting the ocean breezes flow over us, we learned why we had been invited to spend Christmas our friends.  Four years ago they came to Shiloh immediately following their honeymoon.  They spent a couple nights together and then the wife went back to Daoula to work.  Meanwhile the husband was house hunting while holding down a good job in Yaounde.  On weekends he would visit her or alternately she would visit him.  We became close friends.  Early on we showed them Facing The Giants, a Christian DVD.  They shared with us in that relaxing restaurant setting that the DVD had changed their lives.  The mantra from the movie "If we win we will praise the Lord, and if we loose we will praise the Lord" became the foundation of their marriage.  In every thing and in every way they would allow God to be God and do as He willed. Eventually they realized they were dealing with infertility issues.  They choose to cling to God and not allow pressure from their families to upset them.  "If we have a baby we will praise the Lord, and if we remain childless we will praise the Lord" was the cry of their hearts.  It became very practical for this couple.  But then after four years, they discovered that a baby is on the way.  Only their mothers know.  But they wanted to pull us into their secret.  After all, it was at Shiloh they learned to trust the Almighty, no matter what. And so we are praising the Lord with them!
