Updates

 The unspoken I have mentioned often was answered when I went home to Maine. Praising God that after 5 years, I have been able to speak with my brother-in-law and sister. Lots of prayer and fasting went into those 5 years. In the last year, I have seen God working so many miracles in my life even with some extreme trials I have had to go through.

Missions 

I will now be working with four missionaries this year. Debra Smith and Southshore Baptist in Blackpool, England, Daniel Solt in Preston, England, Jason Mann in Macedonia, and Paul Sock in Poland.

Most of my room is now packed up. I have sold my loft bed. I need to sell a desk and get all my stuff put in storage. I'm thankful for a friend who is willing to let me store in her attic for the time being.

Please pray for some very important meetings I will have in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, these will end some major issues and close th door on them. Please pray for our college students. The attitude among them has changed drastically due to an influence that is pulling them down. Pray that God will remove the influence or correct it. Please pray for the Spiritual Warfare Conf. April12-15. Satan always stirs up trouble in the weeks leading up to this, and several families are feeling the warfare heavily right now.

How time Does Fly

 I am always amazed by how fast time moves since I've gotten older. February was a busy month of teaching college and working with my foster care clients. I thought God was opening a door that has been closed to me, but last night that particular door closed. While there is some disappointment, there were signs that this door might not be the one for me. I do not know if it was a test from God or a test from Satan to see if I would get off track from what God has called me to.

Life is getting busy as I continue to finish my work with foster care this month, pack up my belongings, pack my luggage for the mission field, and continue teaching. Due to a lack of clients, my hours have been cut down to 20 or less. I had forgotten that I could apply for unemployment, and I will be receiving that in the next few days. This will sustain me until the end of my time here in Iowa.

Please pray for a group of 18-20s young people who will be traveling with me to a singles conference.  All of them have been through very difficult circumstances in life. I am praying they will fully surrender their lives to God.

I am in the process of scheduling a trip to Macedonia. Please pray that God will open the door to each place He wants me to go through, ad that He will make it obvious to me. 

Please pray for our college students as they continue through the semester. Some things have settled down with them, but with the Spiritual warfare Conference coming, Satan always stirs up problems in the ministries here.

Please pray for my nephew Joel. He will fly to Boston to have open heart surgery on April 14. His mom won't get to go b cause she is due with baby 8 and will be 8 months at that time.

I have fially had an answer to the unspoken request I've mentioned for the last 5 years. The first step to resolving it will happen on March 18. Please pray that all goes well.

I still have one unspoken that I need answered before I leave Iowa. Please pray God gives me wisdom in this situation.
