Prayers needed

I did want to add more prayers right now for any prayer warriors out there. By posting these here, i want them off my shoulders and in the hands of prayer warriors!!! Thank you in advance for sharing this, our burden is light as we all help one another and stand in agreement in seeking Jesus for it all! We need to unite together in this all. It’s not easy to do alone and we’re not called to do it alone. We need the BODY to unite and know that in it all - Our God Reigns!!

• we are scheduled for a USA tour in October:

pray for the scheduling - the goal is church visit, but want to sneak in family time too

pray for the gas money we need to raise to do the tour

pray for our lodging to be set up

pray for our return the the field, we’ll need to buy a ticket back to be allowed to go back tot he field - yes it’s the law to have a ticket back and we don’t… rigth now.

pray for us to stay focused on presenting the calling God’s given us and help others submit to what God’s calling them to do in their lives. Their purpose for HIM. It’s challenging and rewarding.

We do say we trust and know God has all of this prepared for in advance. Pray we do what HE wants us to do in seeking HIS plan in it all.

Blessings to you. This was tough. I’m not used to publicizing these kinds of details but for the past 2 months or God has challenged me to reach out to the BODY for help! Then God will touch and move others to help. If I didn’t do this, then I would be in God’s way and He couldn’t use you for Him. (i hope that makes sense). We’re in this together. *HUGS*

A Bit behind…

Sorry I am so behind in posting… I am not doing too well in my time management. I get good then it’s gotten out of hand. I blame facebook! Yes it’s become a new thing I signed up for because of those I want to connect with are on it and it seems they use it more than email. ugh! So with that, I am semi-addicted to it right now until I get everyone connected on it. heehee

Otherwise, we’re trying to get out passports stamped so we are legal. Our touristvist runs out every 90 day and we have to renew it now. Well last week they said I forgot the kids birth certificates. Then Today they said the “sistema” / SYSTEM is down! UGH! But then I submit to the situation, there is NOTHING i can do to fix it so we wait and move on and pray there are no crazy fees for being late beyond my control. I get so car sick going to the city not to mention the gasoline cost!!! It just bums me.

Next month I need to get e anew passport anyway. I don’t know how much that will cost or how to do it.

Pray about these things. Otherwise, really we’re doing great. we know we’re very much in the Will of God in what He’s called us to do and that birngs us SO much PEACE! I pray you have peace and if you don’t, email me and we can chat!

Love,

The week got more interetsing, good, & prayer

My in-laws’ last day here, I got so sick!!! My daughter did to. Then they left and the same day we got friends to host for four days. I was about 80% cooking and cleaning and hosting. I had a missions committee meeting i wasn’t ready for and then our cash has run out way before the month’s end. So we get creative! God is awesome and I rework leftovers and dig in the back of the pantry and whip up some good dinners.

The rain keeps coming and our windows leak. I am so thank ful for our home and that we dont have dirt floors like many around us. I pray God leads others to help us get solid foundations and walls (homes) for those who God leads us to help. We very much need to raise for the ministry. Prsay with us in how God has us to do all this His Way in His Time.

As our friends left today, i am reminded of the states and how i do miss it some, but we’ll be there soon enough in October. My meering today went well and seems i was as prepared as i needed to be. The rains were ok for us to get home, but we came home to more water on the floor and calls about flooded streets and retaining walls that fell on the roads.

No matter where you live, know others live differently. Lift others in prayer for them to seek God in everything!

Kung Fu Panda - Get Your Daily Fortune

Ok, so I know now…

In the past month or so I am realizing I know what it is like to have a “high-needs” baby or just a screaming kid!

 Woah it’s work and it’s so different than our first. I blame these back teeth!!!! He’s a momma’s boy and I don’t know how it happened. I don’t hold him as much as i held my first. Is that why?

Just pray for me and my hubby. This is new and challenging! I’m glad I have my hubby and God to go to to help me through it. Makes it WAY more tolerable.
