as i sit to type this blog, A is with her ci-ci's (sister in chinese) in the tub here at our host family's house. it's been such a blessing to be with them and be loved by them. Om F (om=uncle) has been A's favorite... wanting to play with him and have him push her on their swing set. what a blessing to be a part of this family. sad to be leaving, but totally psyched about seeing what the Lord has in store for us.
tomorrow A and i will start living at our house. we have been slowly moving things over and moving things around our already furnished house. God is totally way ahead of us in the things we need. the house still has three months left on the contract, so we are actually living there for free for three months. the Lord knew we needed financial help, so here we are... three months free of rent in a furnished house. praise God.
this will be short again, but i will soon put some pictures up.
praises:
1. the Lord is good, He is faithful in all ways.
2. our house
3. friends that have taken us in as family and have been caring for us.
4. opportunities to be with neighbors and friends and family in our neighborhood. again excited to see what the Lord brings.
5. it has been an excellent return. yes there are hard days still and frustrating being a single mom, but i've felt at peace all along the way.
prayer requests:
1. A's heart as many things remind her of daddy. this is where we were a family and i think that is effecting her. these days have been full of "i miss my daddy" or "i want my daddy".
2. me as a parent in a place where discipline is not really emphasized. (the hard part is i think A gets that... so she's so manipulative) continued strength in parenting.
3. spiritual warfare. we are at war. please pray for the Lord's protection and angels to walk with us here. He's already won the war, pray that each battle will be won by us.
4. future plans... we're taking it one-step at a time, but pray as i want to obey... i want to be opened to listening to God.
thank you for your continual prayers and support, love and care.
love you all!!!
