We KNOW that as we OBEY and FOLLOW what we are CONFIDENT God is asking us to do...
the attacks will come!
... and they started this week...
Our power went out in the middle of the night due to a break in our main line,
and for the next 17 hours - what a MESS.... no lights, no heat, no problem!
Amazed at how God takes care of even the smallest details.
The warmest day we have had in two weeks... for a crew to be digging 4 feet
down in our back yard looking for the main power line coming to our house.
After hours of digging, multiple utility personnel on-hand, lighting candles,
wearing lots of warm layers, and laughing ALOT
it was fixed and power was restored!
We were reminded of how much we TAKE FOR GRANTED the many
LUXURIES and BLESSINGS we have - like ELECTRICITY!
Focusing on being incredibly THANKFUL!!
We KNOW that we are in a BATTLE.... but we also KNOW
God's heart is for the orphan, and so we continue to
TRUST Him DAILY!

Our Uganda Trip has been moved up a week!
Because of some scheduling conflicts they adjusted the travel dates,
and we are leaving one week earlier!
Prayer Requests:
*Lots of preparation details with the kids schedule here at home,
remaining shots, gathering supplies, etc.
*Raising the remaining funds needed for our trip- approx. $2000.
*God supplying the donations we would like to take to the orphanages.
*Details to be worked out so that we can do a VBS
with kids from the Karamojong Tribe - a very poor, outcast tribe.
(Many of which have never heard about Jesus!)
*Continued good health as we prepare to go,
travel and during our time in Uganda.
