Time moves on… Day into day… And what have I done for my Lord? Did I follow through on all the plans He had for those days or am I too busy with the things that I think are pressing? Our hearts have so wished to be with our dear friends at home as they faced the tragic death of their mother. With the church as they deal with death and life and what it means. But we have a God greater than the miles between us and I’m so thankful that I can bring these people to our Father who loves us all so much and He will minister to them.

Last weekend little Emma was sick with pneumonia and needed to go to the hospital. She had an aunt who was in the process of getting the baby and when she was in the hospital DIF sped up the process and she was released to the aunt sooner than expected so she won’t be returning to us. But, yesterday we got another call asking if we’d take another little girl that had been abandoned by her mother. We got her in the afternoon then and she’s such a doll! Her mother went to a second-hand store and left her baby there with the man. She told him that she needs to go buy milk for the baby and then left. He had no idea who she was and waited until 11:00 at night til he gave up and called the police. She seems to be around 5 months old and looks like someone took good care of her. Of course, no one here knows her name or when she was born. But, we don’t need a name to love her and enjoy the fun of seeing her smile!

Monday 6 girls from Wakarusa area came to help here for 2 weeks. I wasn’t sure just what I was going to have them do for 2 weeks but God had that all in His plan even if He didn’t let me know all the details. We’ve been waiting for permission to use a house that’s out front here and on Tuesday the owner came and we had the ok to use it. No one has lived in the house for years so it was filthy! That meant that there was a Very dirty house that needed cleaning and we had more company coming by Wed. evening that I didn’t really know where they would stay. Well, I had 6 willing ladies here and they tackled the filth and had it cleaned by Wed eve in time for Regina and Bethany to fix up some beds and everyone that was here had a bed in which to sleep. Isn’t God good!!

This weekend is the beginning of another Orphans for Jesus week so there will be more visitors coming and going throughout the next week so we move ahead one day at a time and see what it is that God has for us!
