He lives in the hearts of those who trust Him.

Yesterday I had the privilege of being surrounded by a group of women that clearly, without reservation, undeniably, trust Him.  We met so that they could lay hands on me and send me on this journey knowing that my family and I are not alone - the body of Christ is with us, supporting us in ANY way we need.  As we sat and discussed the schedule of this journey, the details of childcare for our children here in the US and the things needed for travel, the power of the Holy Spirit was evident.  All of the sudden there were meals being planned to take the burden off my Mom (Grandma) and Jeffs Dad (Papa).  Shopping was being planned and money collected so that the ladies at the orphanage could have fuzzy socks, lip gloss and perfume.  Needs were being met that I wasn't even aware of!!  These chicks were from every denomination and every generation  - truly the Church of Jesus!!  The love for Jesus was palpable.  His love pouring out of these women was unlike anything I have ever experienced before.  I was surrounded by Jesus living in their hearts.  It is a morning that I will cherish.  It is another moment that I have to look back on when I am struggling with unbelief, having anxiety over His plan and being ungrateful - so that I will shift my focus back to what He has done and what He is doing in my life and the lives of others.  When I say I am grateful for these women and their Faith in the One who is Able its an understatement.


Only one more sleep until we leave.
