Where in the World are We?

In short, Japan!

If you're still following our family blog, you probably wonder where in the world we are!

If you've followed my blog for awhile, you maybe have picked up on the fact that the Lord has broken my heart for Japan. He started preparing me to have a special heart for the Japanese when I was very young, and the passion I have for them has only intensified as I've got older... much older! :)

Shortly after the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami, I felt a familiar stirring in my Spirit that the Lord had something in mind for this daughter, His daughter whose heart He's allowed to be broken for Japan.

Since the last time I posted the zoo pictures from March, I have been spending just about every waking moment preparing for a community-wide Pray for Japan gathering. It has been my joy to do it, and it has taken so much of my time, what little time remains with two little ones! :)

I'm not finished blogging and I'll be back at it very soon. For now, I've been instructed to focus solely on this event, in the hopes that seeds will be planted within the hearts of the Japanese that the Lord will water and cause to grow.

140 churches and the Japanese community will unite to Pray for Japan. I am expecting great things from the Lord this night! May His will be done in this time for Japan!

See everyone soon. We've got lots and lots of fun pictures to share of Miss Ava and Maia. Neve a dull moment in this house!
