Today was Mexico's 199 year of independence..There were parades..One here in our colonia..I went to the store this morning and was early enough to get around them as they were lining up.Fireworks tonight..that start at 11:00pm.I dont think we will make it...Sandra has been sick today..Thankful she is feeling better now and didnt have school today..Her throat was sore..glands swollen alittle in her neck,and running a low fever..She has just layed in the bed and watched tv today..I had planned a week or so back to cook Carlos lasagna but when he became ill I put it on hold..Realized today that the cheeses were about to go out of date so I put together 3 large pans. I gave one to each neighbor..and we have one for Sandra and I that we will share with the girl who moved in next door..I dont have an oven so it paid off to fix for everyone that way I get to use their oven...I have very good neighbors...all ywam....On my way back from the store the grim reality of Juarez slapped me in the face at each stop light and sign...29 dead in 14 hours.Read the headlines of the papers sold there...How sad..Most at rehab centers that they go into for help,soon to realize that once drug cartel always drug cartel..Most rehabs here are christian based so hopefully they realized the truth before they left this world...I feel completely safe..All killings are drug related or law/military...Violence and fear have such a grip on this city...Which has most scared to come to help the people here..It has been here for years..Just in the last couple of years has it become media fed..SO SO Sad...Ywam and other organizations are joining in prayer for this city...So add this to your prayers too..please..It is sad to see the people live in FEAR the way they do..Fear of shootings..fear of military..fear of the police..fear of each other..FEAR is reigning here and it breaks my heart to see it...I pray that GOD will take back control of this city and that the people will give him the thanks and glory for it..
Or course there was NO NEWS on the adoption today...Not even from Gladney..which I didnt understand..I was wondering if maybe our caseworker is out of town..It has been almost a week since I heard anything from her..I think..Now that I said that I am going to check..but I know it was at least Thurday of last week..Hopefully tomorrow we will here from everyone at one time...OH YES!!! Thanks for remembering us and standing by us as we continue to wait to finish...
Please LORD, come to this city with power and teach the people who they should really fear..and remind your people that You gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control..Thank you for giving me strength each day to finish what I have come to do.Thank you for my wonderful Husband who is depending on you too.. be with us forever..Grant us mercy...In your name,,,
