Prayer List and Update

I am 2 days late for the Wed. Prayer List, but better late then never right!?

*Praise The Lord!!!!
~ The 3 sisters will be arriving home tomorrow from Guatemala!
~My sister is out of the hospital after a 6 day stay.

*Prayer Needs*
~ Please continue to pray the Lord will keep sending Karlton work.
~ We are still 3- 3 1/2 pay checks behind.... Please pray we get caught up soon!
~ Pray the Lord will send a buyer for our 4 acres w/ brand new garage quickly! We sooo need to sale this so that we can pay all the bills that are really far behind.
~ This one is a praise and a prayer request. I went to the Dr. this week for problems I have been having that is not normal for me ( regarding the monthly visitor). The Dr. said that he was not concerned , but we will be observing it and that he thought it was only stress! And we all know how finances and jobs can take a toll on anyone so please pray for me! Because apparently this is effecting more then I even realized!

I am and have been praying for those prayer request that have been left! If you have any more you would like us to pray for please leave me a comment! I really appreciate everyone who has been praying with us on all these matters!

Now for a family update! This summer has been one crazy ride! We have camps every week it seems like! So far we started the summer off with Jordan going to a week long camp at School for Honors kids, he also started Cross Country 2 weeks ago, we have had VBS, Football Camp, Josiah is getting ready to leave for church camp for 5 days, then Jordan will be leaving as soon as Josiah gets back for World Changers with our Church; they(church kids) are going to Wilmington for a week. We also spend some time at the pool to cool off. Its non stop around here and sometimes I feel like I am just spinning in circles. Lol! I will be posting some pictures soon..... But for now I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!!!! We will be spending some quality family time together as we do every 4th. We always look forward to this holiday and our family traditions!

Boys, have fun at camp.
Our prayers are with you for Karlton's job and for your pay

of land.

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
