I will praise the Lord with my whole heart.

He has sent redemption to His people.

He has commanded His covenant forever.

Holy and awesome is His name.

Psalm 111:1a, 9 NKJV

I am getting updates 2 or 3 times a week from my son. He is helping at the orphanage today, and will travel out in the countryside tomorrow. He is meeting workers from several different organizations who are helping those affected by the earthquakes. He asks for continued prayer for their safety.

Cameron made it to his destination!! Thank you for your prayers.

This is the day the Lord has made!

It was refreshingly cool and dry this morning with a nice breeze. I was inspired to go for a walk at the park!

This afternoon my son Cameron leaves on his trip. Thank you for your prayers. Please pray for the orphans in Nepal and those who work with them.

Fearless Confidence

We know that people are suffering persecution for the name of Christ around the world. The apostle Paul suffered for the sake of the Gospel and encouraged us with these words:

For you did sympathize and suffer along with those who were imprisoned, and you bore cheerfully the plundering of your belongings and the confiscation of your property, in the knowledge and consciousness that you yourselves had a better and lasting possession.

Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward.

For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.
Hebrews 10:34-36 Amplified

Lighthouse in the Storm

I see your tears.

I listen to your prayers.
Whatever situation you are in,
Whisper My Name.
When your strength is gone,
I will lift you up in my strong arms.
I am your high tower,
Your lighthouse in the storm.

by Karen Rice

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; 
The righteous run to it and are safe.
Proverbs 18:10
