Prayer Journal

Do you prayer journal? I mean do you write down your prayers and look back every so often to be reminded of God's goodness in your life? Well this morning for me is a great morning that i opened my Bible and in my margins were written something about Jan 22 of last year. I went back into my prayer journal and realized that last January I was struggling with being scared to move to Guatemala. Would my kids want to? Would i be able to learn Spanish? would I.... Would I... Would my family...? Well as I went back and read from January 22 of this year, I realized how much peace God has given to me, how much God has answered my prayers. How much my kids want to move, how much Spanish I am picking up, how much peace I have as we are only 20 days from moving.
Do you prayer journal to see God's hand in your life? If not I strongly encourage you to TODAY go out and buy a journal (Dollar stores sell cheap ones) and start to write your prayers and let yourself see God's hand in your life. I am so encouraged this morning as I am able to praise God for his goodness. will you praise him for his goodness to you today.
John 14:15-31
God's peace

Donations

Well, we are only 3 weeks from moving to Guatemala to start Open Doors Orphanage, maybe that is why i can't sleep at 4:00 in the morning. I don't know, maybe it is because I am so high on God and what he is doing in the life of Open Doors. You see we are in process of gathering construction donations for the orphanage and they will be sent down to Guatemala on a container. Well one of the hardest things about being a missionary is asking for money and asking. As I have made contacts over the last 2 weeks God has been doing some amazing things. Many businesses have graciously given so much. Even in a time when it is difficult to give they have gave. I will have a list of the generous donors once the container ships so you can thank them by shopping and buying from them. It has been overwhelming at times receiving some of the gifts that we have received. God continually amazes me in the ways that he is providing for Open doors. Thank you for all your prayers and support as we get closer to moving to Guatemala.
