Jason is heading home

Jason left early this morning. Lord willing, he'll be home Wed morning. Please pray for a safe flight. Pray for him too as he cares for all the kids by himself!! : )

All our kids have been battling fevers. Please pray for healing over them!!! Esp Samuel - a fever lowers his seizure threshold!!!

Jeremiah didn't eat well today, and some of the kids have been throwing up today. Pray he's not getting sick!!

Thank you so much dear friends and for ALL your PRECIOUS words of encouragement - they are dear to my heart!!!!

The Lord is my refuge and my fortress, a strong tower where I run and am safe! Praise Him!

love to you all!

News from home, please pray

Samuel had a seizure on Friday. His first one in over 2 yrs. Please pray for us as we make decisions on care for him. Pray for complete healing for him. There's no words to express the ache that is in our hearts being away from him. Thank you for your prayers!

We went to Ggaba Community Church this morning, and the Lord used Pastor Peter to speak SWEET truths to my heart. Resting in them now.

Love to you all!

We are here!!

Blogger hasn't been working here, but just got on....barely!

We had our court date on the 8th!!!! We get our ruling on the 22nd. Please pray for a 'YES' from the judge. Then we need to get his passport and birth certificate QUICKLY (lawyer gets those for us).

After we get those, then we can go to the US embassy for our immigration interview to apply for a visa. Pray for that process to go smoothly, and that there'd be no snags or hang ups in the process!

Jason leaves Tues (14th). Mine and Kim's ticket is supposed to leave out on the 28th. It'd be AMAZING if we could get on that flight with Jeremiah!!! Please pray that the paperwork would go so smoothly that we could....or the 29th : )

Thank you SO much for all your prayers!!!! They mean so much to us!!!

Hoping to keep you updated as the internet allows! ; )

Almost, but not yet

Jason is boarding his flight to South Africa.

Kim and I leave tomorrow.

We should all arrive in Uganda on Monday eve. Please pray for safety as we fly!

Update

Basically, the update is this: we will know when we get to court.

Today, I am weary. I was hoping for a concrete answer. Please continue to pray with us.

Psalm 59:16-17

Psalm 59
16 But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love.

Bad News....again.....please pray

Just got VERY BAD news.....evidently the judge wants the children to be in the babies home for 6 mo before he hears the case from now on. Jeremiah has only been there since March : (

please pray....we have NO idea what is next.

We do know the Lord knows, and this judges heart is in HIS hands.

UPDATE***

Please pray for favor, that the judge will have compassion, mercy, and understanding, and hear the cases that already have court dates!! Thank you so much!!! Lord willing, we will know more tomorrow.

Court Date confirmed

We got an email this morning, and our court date is confirmed for July 8th!!! We're a little concerned at this point about having all the paperwork we are supposed to have. Communication is hard from there, and we are getting random pieces of info on paperwork we need to bring, but not a clear list. Pray the Lord will lead us in our efforts to gather all we need to take!!

Also, please continue to pray with us in the following:

Prayer details:
* there are some things we need to get figured out b/c I'm the US citizen, but Jason is the breadwinner. Please pray for wisdom as we fill out these forms and get all we need to get done in Uganda before Jason leaves!!!!! It's providential he's going!!!
*pray against spiritual warfare! Pray our hearts would be fixed on the promises of God, and there would be no distractions from that!
* pray for finances (our friend here is organizing a benefit concert - it's going to be good...trust me!...if you want more info, contact Kelly Keller!!)
*pray for our lawyer in Uganda as he prepares the paperwork
*pray that the judge will rule in our favor
*pray that we'll get his passport and visa quickly with no delays or snags
*pray for our baby boy, his safety, and his heart to be comforted by the Lord
*pray we'll get to come home with Jeremiah with our scheduled return flight
