Read Katie's post on Sumini the other night when it dropped in to my Google reader - and had to go wake laura and give her a play by play of that story...

Katie is an amazing person doing amazing work in the name of God...

Very, very inspiring.

God is good ALL THE TIME! We only need hearts that trust that to be true and hearts that in acceptance rest in His timing and work.

Dear Emily,
I just read Katie's blog and then had to read it to Robert too - and now I'm thinking I should call Sarah in and read it to her. Wonder if she's already in bed? Thanks for directing me to her site. Is baby Abe feeling better? Allowing you to get some rest? I'm scheduled to teach every day this week but I'm home after 4:30 or so and would be happy to hold, rock, play with him if you need extra hands - really -

Emily and Moody,
We've been praying for your stamina and for Abe's healing since Moody's call Sat. night. You are dearly loved by God to be entrusted with so much! Be encouraged- He loves you and is in control of everything! We'll keep praying.
