HELP ME APPLY MY HEART . . .

Apply your heart to instruction,
And your ears to words of knowledge.

Proverbs 23:12

Show me when I am not doing what it says. Help me to continue to apply my heart to Your instruction and my ears to Your Words of knowledge. Lord, we don't want to be just hearers of Your words, but doers. As you give us an opportunity to travel to a place on the other side of the world, strengthen our faith, give us courage to be a light in a dark place. May we bless those we are privileged to come in contact with, and may we show genuine love and care to the children and others in Mala. May we not worry about our family back home, and be focused on your plan for this journey. May you be preparing Kristina's heart for these changes about to come her way, and give her courage and peace about joining our family. Thank you Lord for all You have done, and continue to do.

So, 11 days and counting! Amazing! We still need to raise around $3000 and pray for His provision and timing in all we are doing. We have been blessed with a church donation of $100 for shoes for the kids at the orphanage. We still need more funds for this if anyone wants to make a donation. Please keep us in your prayers, as this has been a fast, but amazing journey. We are not sure how God is going to provide the remaining balance, but we know He will. Thanks so much for all your prayers and support along the way. Please continue to pray for our trip, for Kristina, and for the people of Mala. They are really a hurting community and in need of prayers. We ask for your prayers in being able to bring Kristina home in one trip. Please pray the courts make this as simple as possible and in a realistic time frame. We pray for favor in their eyes and hearts.

Please pray for our children and their caretakers while we are away.

VERY EXCITED!!!!!! VERY GRATEFUL!!!!! VERY AMAZED!!!!!

WHAT A WONDERFUL GOD!!!!
