Praise YOU in this storm . . .

I love that song! Although we had a week or more of some tough trials, God is so faithful to give us Himself, to strengthen, and teach us along the way. We are never alone . . . and that is such a wonderful feeling. I pray that for Krystyna, that she would come to know that comfort and love.

We are on our way around to collect bottles and cans today. We have our doctor appointments to fill out all the paperwork for our dossier. We were totally blessed when a person from Jon's run at work phoned this morning asking more information to share with their church. It just goes to show exactly what the Lord has been putting on my heart, and others we are speaking with. It is His church, not "a" church that He calls to help the widows and orphans, and if more people realize that we are a much bigger family when we come together for the good of those who love Him, wow, what a difference we could make! We have found that by us having this "need" and not being able to fill it on our own, we find ourselves sharing our story and what God has done in our lives with more and more people. I pray we do this anyway, just because it is right, and good to praise the LORD.

We now have a great friend who is willing to work with us and take family or individual photo's for a fund raising event. I think it will be in March, but we have more things to figure out. Please keep checking to see where we are with it. We will be signing people up for appointment times soon. Let us know if you are interested. Her work is very beautiful!

I will start a list, and phone people in the order I receive them to book your times. It will be on a Saturday. Thank you Shannon, your name is on the list!

We are 465.00 away from our next immediate goal, as we head to Portland on Friday for our USCIS appointment. Thank you for all your prayers and help. We also got to send our first letter and box off to Krystyna, and I can't wait to hear back from her.

Grace and Peace and a blessed day to you all!
