hmmm!

Well, i know i am overdue for an update and yet still not quite feeling the motivation to relate all that has occurred in the past month or since i last wrote :D but here are a few things:

Work at Carenet has been great! I am almost finished with my "official" in-center training, learning lots and lots, how to answer the phone, how to walk through an intake with a client taking into mind their mindset (abortion minded, abortion vulnerable, or not abortion vulnerable). I got to sit on two intakes so far and both were completely different  although they both were for a pregnancy test. One was not very open to any ministering and mainly just wanted a "official verification of pregnancy" where as the other gal was very abortion minded and we spent 1 1/2 talking with her. (Oh, Lord Jesus, please keep your arms around this girl and help her to choose the thing to do that is right and to bring back into a right relationship with you).  One of the ladies I have been working with is leaving, she got a job as the new director for a new clinic that is opening up it's doors very soon. So although i am not nearly prepared for it i will be filling her spot on our shift! So very excited for what doors the Lord will open and ways I will be growing through volunteering here. I love it! So again a plug for prayers, I am there on Tuesday mornings from 9am to 1pm (western time) so if you think of me then please pray for me there!

More plans being prepared for our trip to India in August last official thing to do is send off for the visas which I will be doing this week but all our tickets here and there and back are bought, Yeah! Thank the Lord for his provision and blessings.

Lets see what else. . . Judah and I got to spend the night in downtown seattle while some friends of our took the kids overnight. That was great and so very relaxing, we had a room at a great inn right at the harbor steps and then we just walked around downtown that night ate and then also walked around downtown the next morning after we checked out. We went to the Seattle Public Library which is this huge building i've never been in before but it was really neat and I am kinda excited to start taking the kids down there on a regular bases it's got a great children's section and lots and lots of great nooks and crannies to hind out in and read and even with the kids!

Well, for now that's all i am going to write because the kids movie is over and i need to start in on some school work with them now... here's some great encouragement from Amy Carmichael to end my note with:

Don't Give Up

The younger of the baby kingfishers has caught his first fish. He flew off with it to show it to his mother. We heard all she said about it, and all he said. Mother and son have talked of nothing else for the last ten minutes. But just before this joy the young kingfisher had a great disappointment. He had been practising all kinds of dives, and at last he came up jubilant. He had a beakful of something! He could hardly stand for excitement-but it wasn't a fish. It was a leaf. Have you ever felt as I think that poor little bird felt then? (It took him quite a long time to recover from his disappointment.) You thought you had found power and patience to deal with some difficulty, and then somehow you hadn't. Leaf for fish-it was rather like that.  Then do what the kingfisher did. Don't give up. Seek again. "In due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart" (Gal. 6:9) "He also taught them by a parable that they must always pray and never lose heart" (Luke 18:1)
