a boquet of sharpened pencils.....

The time has come for our kids to head back to school....I will miss having them around.....this means a new season...hot season is not really leaving us...just means rainy season is coming and it will be hot and then will rain really hard! It's kind of a love/hate season. I love the rain but it's not really practical when you have a motor bike as your main mode of transportation. But it is a good relief to the heat. So as I (we) enter into this new season let me tell you what I feel heavy on my heart as of late.....

I feel a desire to pray harder than I ever have before....to pray for direction into the heart of the community. To pray for healing both physically and spiritually for the people of Chiang Rai. To pray for my heart to be tugged at and molded and formed and shaped into the piece of art that God has instore for it. I know that means pain but I am all for it if it's going to be better than it is now! I pray for children out there that need homes that need people to care for them...that the Lord would bring them to us in His perfect timing. I pray for freedom in the land of free. I pray for understanding of culture and breaking down cultural walls..... there's so much more to pray for...so much more. So I will pray I will pray and not stop praying. Will you join me? Please join me....

I don't know how any of you are doing....please e.mail me and keep in touch. I have some good news for everyone...I will be coming home in December for a month or so! I am looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up again. This time I will be more organized and will know what to expect as far as culture shock and dealing with coming home to so much change. So I hope to see you all and get to spend some quality time with you! Thank you again for reading my blog and for taking time to be a part of my life. For taking part in my life here....You are all so pinnacle to my time here and just living life here. You are my rocks......the rocks that keep my feet steady....you bless me, I hope you know that....

signing off and going to bed....thanks again for reading.... bless you all out there...
