I am writing this request with my foot propped up and wrapped in ice.  Last night (Tuesday) I sprained my right ankle badly.  I have crutches to get around on and pain meds to keep the tears back.  This is not a minor sprain.  Please be in prayer, not only for me to heal from […]

The Lord is good!  As of Wednesday night, April has finished her Cherokee write up.  We are grateful for so many prayers offered up on her behalf but are even more grateful to the one who listens and answers.  Thank you Lord.

Prayer requests: -That April & Ryan continue to take time together to keep our […]

While April’s assignment this past week wasn’t a breeze, she still got through it and was able to healthily balance her life and get the language problem finished.  She really felt herself being carried along by many of your prayers.  Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers and answering!
