power...

Today we had a time of prayer with our small kids at Casa Alba. So many days go by as I'm working there that I just feel I barely make it through the shift. Other days I'm overwhelmed because I know they need much, much more then just clothes, a bed, and food... they need healing, love, moms and dads, they need hope, grace, hugs, tears, safety. And then today, not only did these small children pray and thank Jesus for each other and ask for moms and dads to come, but we, as some of us living here and a team that came to serve our kids this week, also took the opportunity to pray over these kids. Tears came to my eyes as we laid hands and prayed over our children. The realization of God's plan for these kids and the opportunity to be apart of asking God to speak over them and about them and to call out truth of who these kids are and what they are to be and to disclaim what they are not, was incredible!
These kids are of high worth; they are wanted; they are loved - by the Lord and by us; and the plans for their life is great! I could see a picture of protection around them. A time to speak truth into their life and ask God to begin now to open their eyes and ears and heart to see and hear and know Him. These kids are young and mold able. This is the time to invest in their lives; to teach and encourage and love. How privileged I feel to have been apart of this day and to continue to be apart of their lives. May every day be like today and may we see His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven! May our kids love and give and worship Him. And may they grow up to be all they were created to be! Amen and Amen!

rainy days

Spring has come to Marghita and so have the rainy days. First we had crazy snow, then freezing cold and ice everywhere; and now the spring rains! The warm days I love as well as the sun shine and lovely breeze, but the mud I could do without. I would bet the kids would say otherwise! What is better then a muddy pond in your back yard? It's warmer out and so you can play longer, your nice and dry execpt for your socks, and your boots squish when you walk?!! Seasons are changing and soon the time. The grass a bit higher, the trees will soon blossom and bloom, and the happiness and joy of new life will soon be felt by all.
So here is how it was just a bit ago, here is as it was today, and more will follow by what it will be.
