Prayers

June 29, 2010

This has been a tough week.  I have made  reservations to come home in September to visit and that has been the bright spot that has kept me going.  When I think about life in the United States, I know that I am wearing rose colored glasses, but it is comforting to imagine all the things I have missed.

Now September and America are very far away.  My dad was scheduled to have heart surgery this Friday to replace a valve, but today he suffered a stroke.  My mother is beside herself.  My family promised to keep me informed, but I know that they are worried too.  Please pray for my father and my family and for me.

My work here is not finished, but I feel so torn.  I am working on getting Yuda to a safe place, and Aggie has just begun school.  My students, especially form VI, still need me.  I know that to truly serve God, I must serve him with my whole heart.  However, sometimes it seems so difficult.  Please pray for me.
