Please Pray

There are a lot of things going on - 3 children leave this weekend to prepare to meet their new adoptive families - that is a praise. Misty May, the one week old baby that was left at the front gate the first night we were here, had to leave earlier today for another orphanage - PHF now has 2 months to find her biological family; I don't really understand all of the technicalities of that but they are requesting prayer. And I will be honest I am just feeling overwhelmed with everything - it is hard to explain but today was a pretty emotional day for me - just trying to sort a lot of things out - I have asked a lot of "why's?" lately.

Tomorrow is our second and last touring day and I was really excited about it until I heard we have to take an air car up to the Great Wall. This morning in my quiet time, I read in Ecclesiastes 12 that the people were afraid of heights and dangers on the road - well, they are all about heights here and if you've ever driven here you would understand the latter. I shared this passage with the others and we had a good laugh since last night we tried to cross the street at a very busy intersection - it was scary - did I mention they don't have traffic lights? I was told traffic is to flow like water, you just make room - oh yeah, it's fun.

We did have a good day today - we split up for the most part and did different things as requested - there is more info regarding that and more pictures uploaded on the team blog. I am sure more will be posted tomorrow - just remember us in prayer - He is sovereign, sees all, and knows each individual need in more depth than we do. Thank you.

Kimala,
My heart goes out to you...we can ask "why" all day long, and only our Lord knows the answer to that...But I do know that he is never going to give you more than you can handle...we will test that time and time again....but in the end, its a proven fact....
Hang in there darlin....you all are doing more for these children than they will probably EVER experience....
I love you Kimala...and you are forever in my prayers....
