Her husband brought her to us.  Doctor's orders.  She needed to be in a quiet place.  Away from the children.  Away from the demands of her busy life.  No work for fourteen days.  She's suffering from burn out.  Stress in her life has reached astronomical proportion.  She  cannot continue on this path.  Something has to change.  

In addition to sleeping, and relaxing, and sleeping some more, and eating, and taking handfuls of pills, she's talking with me.  In desperation she began pouring out her story.  And what a story it is.  Every time I think we have come to the end of her story, it turns out there is another twist and turn to it.  Her life is in shambles in many areas.  And yet she is an educated, highly successful, well paid, upper class Cameroonian professional woman.  At the job site nobody would guess her secrets.  If you met her in public you would think she has it all.  She's arrived.  You would be tempted to envy her.

What a high, high honor it is for me to spend time each day with this dear lady.  What a privilege to be the one God has chosen to help her.  She gave her life to the Lord as a twelve year old girl, but has not had good teaching.  She has based her walk with God on a whole lot of false doctrine.  And it's not working.  And her life is unraveling at the seams.  

While I'm no expert, I know the One Who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  He is the God of the Impossible.  He, and He alone can transform hopeless situations.  As we meet together, sometimes once a day, sometimes three times a day, depending on my availability, we are looking at her story in the light of God's Word.  She is an incredible lady.  She knows that life is not working.  She is ready, willing, and able to change.  She will try anything.  She's sick to death of the tangled mess that is called her life.  

Shiloh exists for people like this dear lady.  We are here for her.  We are available to to be used by God in any way He wants to use us.  And sometimes we have the great joy of watching God do His amazing work in the life of a person. All Glory and Honor and Praise to our King!
