“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” Ephesians 5:1-2

Praise on Finances as well: Enough has come in/been promised for almost 20 months!!! So close to my goal of 24 months.
On a somber note, this month has had some reminders that it doesn’t matter who a person is, they can fall and commit terrible things and sadly it is always the young and helpless who suffer. We must be vigilant to protect those at risk. We must compassionately help those who are hurt. And we must vigilantly watch over our own hearts/minds.
On a funny note, after years of working in a law office where we utilized a service provider to obtain background information on people, I just now had to get a background report on myself!!! The past 4 weeks have been very full with medical appointments and with chasing down official documents. Thankfully I’ve received a full, clean bill of health and have copies of my health records, birth certificate, and background check report to take to Nicaragua.
Two weekends ago I had back-to-back trips to Maine & Massachusetts. God really blessed and guided with wisdom and strength as I spoke 3 times in 2 days. Had a great time with the people at New Hope in Farmington, ME. God had me share some stories of what He has done in my past that I don’t normally share, and He used those stories in ways I didn’t expect. So cool to see Him work.
The following day, I enjoyed meeting people at College Church in Northampton, MA. Each Monday night they gather specifically to pray for people overseas and frequently invite missionaries to come share. What a blessing to be with them.
Greetings to you all.
