This is Maggie's final week living in an orphanage!
We plan to update the blog while in China, however, we have a few specific prayer requests that we would love to have continually lifted to our great God!
- Maggie's heart. I can't imagine the fear this little one will feel next Monday, March 5. I am praying Numbers 6:24-26 over her (...the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.)
- Matt's stomach. For some reason Matt's stomach does not like the descent on airplanes. But this is no ordinary pain; this is doubled-over-grown-man-cry pain. Please pray that is not something he experience's on this trip.
- Matt's back. (I know. He is falling apart at 34. haha)
- Shari's brain & heart. Enough said.
The support we continue to receive on this journey is absolutely amazing. We continue to be humbled under it. We are so grateful.
We have had so many people say that our faith is so great. But, we look at each other and say, 'But this hasn't been hard!' GOD changed our hearts and the rest just fell into place. Yay God. Truly.
Congrats on your journey!
ReplyDeleteWanted to tell you a few things. My husbands back was cured on the plane ride. The doc says that the compression from the airplane made everything fall into place in his back....hope it does for you too!
Make sure you have your VPN, so we can catch up with you. Otherwise you will not be able to get to your blog and Facebook.
Have fun!
Have a wonderful trip! We will be praying for you guys and Maggie, especially that she has an easy transition.
