Friday night in the big town...
Hey all...
No pics tonight. I'm working on WEEK TWO video and it's not ready yet, so I'll upload tomorrow. :-)
We did have a wonderful visit with Matthew this afternoon. He was SO EXCITED to see us, again! What a sweety.
One thing I didn't tell you about our day:
On our way to Romaniv, we usually drive VERY FAST. I joke about us being chased by a band of gypsies. I joke about it so I don't jump out of the car. :-) Well, today, the driver lost control of the car and was careening toward the trees on the other side of the road. Thankfully, he regained control. It must have scared him very badly because the rest of the trip there and back too he drove at normal speeds. I was afraid the gypsies would get us for sure. Oy.
We're here at Palermo (are you shocked?). We had some pizza and some potatoes (strange combo I know...but what can I say? It's what we know how to order.)
PRAYER NEEDS:
Please pray for the Loux's. They found out their court was moved from next Tuesday to next Friday. Ugh. We don't know why except that maybe the judge only wants to do court on Friday next week.
Please pray for the Dickinson family. The leave for Ukraine TOMORROW morning! They have lots to do to be ready and they still need financial provision. Please pray to the Great Provider to help them!
Jesus Reigns!
Until tomorrow our friends.
Be blessed.
Oh...todays Psalm is Psalm 46
1-3 God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.
We stand fearless at the cliff-edge of doom,
courageous in seastorm and earthquake,
Before the rush and roar of oceans,
the tremors that shift mountains.
Jacob-wrestling God fights for us,
God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.
4-6 River fountains splash joy, cooling God's city,
this sacred haunt of the Most High.
God lives here, the streets are safe,
God at your service from crack of dawn.
Godless nations rant and rave, kings and kingdoms threaten,
but Earth does anything he says.
7 Jacob-wrestling God fights for us,
God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.
8-10 Attention, all! See the marvels of God!
He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,
Bans war from pole to pole,
breaks all the weapons across his knee.
"Step out of the traffic! Take a long,
loving look at me, your High God,
above politics, above everything."

Let's pray for the driver! What is his name again? That car is carrying mobile temples of God filled with light and truth in the heart of Ukraine. What are the names of some of the folks at the pizza restaurant so we can pray for one or more of them? jamie

Great news about the approved paperwork for SDA! Thank you Lord!
You are Good all the time.
