I got to talk to Bear tonight for about 45 minutes which is crazy long. The past two times I talked to him last week was about 4 minutes a piece so it felt like forever...but in a good kinda forever way. :) We've been tearing off a chain every night & praying for the "Imbeeyan" people. Jonah's prayer stays pretty much consistent:
"Dear God, Please keep my Daddy safe in Imbeeyah. Amen."
Several nights ago, his prayer grew.
"Dear God, Please keep my Daddy safe in Imbeeyah and help them to know the Bible is Your True Word. Amen." (emphasis on True. Word. He was very
Sunday night, we went to the circus with Tantie, Cobb, and the Squishes. (The Squishes are my sisters unborn twins until we know the genders, which we'll probably keep the name but change any female twin(s) to Squishie(s) to make it more feminine. Yes, we're that weird.) Esther Grace has begun an obsessive love affair with elephants. I'm sure I'll blog more on that later. At least I don't have to worry about getting one as a pet. Annnnnnyways....
As we were walking through the parking lot towards the Gwinnett Arena, the sun was setting and I snapped a picture with my phone. It doesn't do it any justice.
The light was streaming up into the heavens and it was just beautiful. Breathtaking. It was about 6:30 p.m. and I realized that it was about 5:00 a.m. the next morning in India. I told Jonah, "Do you know that the sun is setting here but in India where Daddy is, it's just coming up? God is sending our sun to light Daddy's morning!" It was such a neat thought. That night, Jonah's prayer grew even more....
"Dear God, Please keep my Daddy safe in Imbeeyah and help him to put light into the Imbeeyan peepul's hearts. Amen."
Tonight, we prayed Proverbs 19:21 from our prayer chain.
"Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails."
In previous nights, we've prayed about God's guidance and leading those from darkness to light. Jonah's prayer?
"Dear God, Please keep my Daddy safe in Imbeeyah....and could You just help him and guide him? Amen."
My heart could not be fuller! I think it might burst on Saturday when I've got my entire family home! :)

Love pictures like that! When light is in those streams either up towards heaven or shining down on earth, my girls (when they were little like your kids) always referred to them as "Angel Lights". To this day, that is what they call them. They always said it was God letting his angels shine his light out of heaven!
Love you and your precious family! What lights for the Lord you are!!!
