Prayer Request
Dear Friends and Family,
I am doing well. I have almost hit my 5 month mark! I am entirely content and blessed to be here in Africa. I do have a prayer request. Pray for my spiritual health and walk with God. There are so many distractions here on the ship. Helping people, fellowship time, adventures into town and across the countryside, ministry opportunities, and the list goes on. I am struggling to find a quiet place and time to meet with God. Do not get me wrong, God is in everything here on the ship, but nothing can take the place of daily time with God. In some sort of naivety, I thought I would immediately have a closer relationship with God away from the distractions of the modern world, but that is not the case. As with any relationship in life, one must take time and invest energy to make a relationship grow, pray I invest plenty of my daily time talking to God. It is my deepest desire to grow closer to God and I need prayers for discipline in this area of my life. Pray that my fulfilment comes from my relationship with God rather than from my ministry for Him. I love all of you!

Hah! I got you to leave a new post. :) I will be praying for you. I miss you and please come visit me when you get back to the good old US of A! WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!! So we are building a house (or will be soon.) LOVE YOU LAURA LOU!
I check your blog everyday. I will pray for you, I can also add Elli to that request as she always needs to know what is happening with you. You are not alone with trying to have a time alone with the Father. I am not as diciplined as most either. Pray you and your mom see each other a little. Your dad was here for birthday pie for Don's 70th. I love you Grandma Jan

Laura,
Bob Renz was reading your blog on the bulletin board. He said the story of the young girl was very moving.
I'm praying for the Spirit of Christ to encourage your heart.
Hi Laura Bunny- Praying for you. Do likewise for Aunt Marilyn and me too. I sometimes just like to sit and be quiet...not always easy. Joyce Meyer is my cheerleader and teacher via tapes.
It was good to see so many people (relatives) at Aunt Pearls funeral. What a family we have...was a tough couple days though.
I hope you and your mom see each other often while she is there. I will check her blog next. Looking forward to more blogs fromyou and to your dad coming here. I am excited.
Love you ....Aunt Joy
