What a Mighty God We Serve




WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!






























Keep praying for our girl Lonia. She is doing amazingly well for all that she has been through. She is walking everywhere. She knows no stranger. She is full of all things little girls should be full of but especially, personality. She is talking and saying all kinds of things. She eats everything in sight. She has been staying with Charlie and Teresa Bowen in Maryville, Missouri. This was a big help while we waited for Josiah's arrival. Thank you both so much for your commitment to the Lord and to Lonia.

Every time I take a few minutes to think of the journey we've been on I am overwhelmed and the tears start flowing relentlessly. Just thinking how amazing it is that this little girl is alive! What does God have in mind? What is His special plan for her? The whole thing is a blur in my mind. It seems I've been gone from Haiti so long. I'm not sure who I am or where I am but I am sure who God is and I am still sure that where He leads me, I will follow.

I don't know how people live without Him. I would lose my sanity, lose my grip easy if I wasn't so sure of His presence in my life. He is so in love with each of us, He can't take His eyes off of us. What an awesome God we serve! I am kind of getting that as I hold Josiah in my arms and I can't take my eyes off of Him. How awesome, how precious, how delicate and so much detail! Really God, are you sure you want me to take care of him? I don't want to mess him up and God I know with you, I can't.

Hey Dee,

reading this made me all teary and I'm sitting in the middle of library! I'll be praying for you all as you go back to Haiti in March and that Lonia's recovery will just bring God so much glory.

Anna
