Hello!
Oh, my. Time has really flown. If you've heard or read it once, then you know just how true Eccelesiastes 3 is. To everything there really is a time. This is true, even with this month almost over (and it's so hard to believe) everything has had it's place and it's season. Some planned and some unplanned.
For those of you with whom we crossed paths, it was WONDERFUL. (even phone calls) For those of you that it didn't work out this time, next year. :) All in good time.
This time has been filled with so much conversation of the Lord's work. He is always at work among His people. He is jealous for His name and displays His glory in so many ways in both foreign fields and home fronts. What an inexplicable life that we live to know God and be loved by Him.
To summarize this past year in writing, it's been challenging for sure, yet, these challenges have allowed for new vision and to deepening my Faith. The LORD clearly is watching over the needs of the fatherless as many of the mothers we see are single, or are having a child with their boyfriend, who is currently present, but the future is unknown. Working 4 shifts a week is a new physical challenge, but it's doable, especially when we can all encourage one another. So good.
Anyway, here's a few points of prayer for this upcoming Year, 2012-2013:
- Continued Language Learning (Visayan)
- There is a NEW team coming in!
- For the work at the clinic; especially recognizing postpartum depression
- Continued health through this next year
- Continued capacity to be ready to learn new things
- Always being ready to share Christ in word (even if another language) and deed
- Higher clinical expectations
And, there never was a list of things that I would be refilling on (sorry), but for future reference (Holiday Season.... :)) if you want some ideas:
- Baby clothes (hats, blankets, mittens, and booties)
- Chocolate (dark is the best! nuts and dried fruits are ok too)
- Letters and Cards
- anything that's just plum fun! :) (Desi can be a good resource too!)
Blessings to you all!!
