  • Hungry postman?

    I received this letter in the mail today...
    The back of the envelope has an apology from the post office for the document being damaged in handling by the Postal Services.... There is a BITE out of the envelope, LOL.

    So of course I photographed it to share! :)

    Also, please pray for my travels during the next two weeks!!!

  • February: the month of love and my birthday

    Some of the things I love in my life...

    How amazing is the ocean. I love the waves and the endlessness. And I love when it's just me and God and His creation. There is nothing at all like standing surrounded by creation when it is just me and God. I go to the field in my neighborhood and ignore the houses around it and pretend it's just me and God and the trees and sunset. I love the bluest part of the night... it is the 10 minutes before the sky goes completely black, and it is so so deep blue. Mmmmm beautiful. This is what God and I do for fun :)

    I love dancing when there is no expectation of following a particular dancing style or impressing anyone with style. Just dancing however you feel is so freeing. Everyone needs to do this.

    Waking up to the sunrise coming through my window (on the weekends, or after we change the time again!). And my blue room... it feels like I'm outside even when I'm inside. Now how nice is that?

    I love strawberries. And dark chocolate. and peanut butter by the spoonful. And warm weather and the sun shining.

    People who call me, or smile when they see me :)

    Family. The people in mine, and the whole concept of family. It's a beautiful thing. And so is adoption!

    Playing music, alternating instruments and not playing anything in particular, just playing whatever.

    Singing and dancing-ish while I'm walking around. I cannot understand why people stare and make it so that I can't do this at work when people are around. I know they have to want to do that too...

  • Please pray!!!

    Since you are reading this, if you could please take some time and pray... I know we hear prayer requests all the time and it's easy to just keep on going, but taking the time and really praying for people can really make a difference in their circumstances!

    I just got a letter from Lizuan, a boy I sponsor in Tanzania. He has spent too much of his few years living on the street with "no place to eat and sleep." And finally his mother took him back in 2 years ago. And now he wrote to tell me that his mother is sick again and won't let him stay with her anymore, so he is out on his own again. Praise that Lord that his pastor is letting him stay with him for a bit. He asks for prayer that his God will heal his mother and so he can live with her again. Please also pray that God will let him know that He is the Father to the fatherless, and will never leave us or reject us. Thank you!

    Also on my heart is my friend who lost her second sister in two years to suicide. And their father died last year. She lives alone and loves Jesus. Please pray that God will comfort and strengthen her during this time, and that God will bring the rest of her family to know and serve Him.

    Another request. Please pray for a friend of my family, Melissa, who just lost her 14 year old daughter to suicide this week. Heartbreaking. Pray that Melissa and her 3 younger children would be SO comforted by the Lord and led close to His heart.

    Thank you so much for joining me in praying for these people! I was just reading 2 Corinthians, about comforting each other with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. Let's comfort them through our prayers since we can't be there to comfort right now.
