The good and the not so good...

What a strange few days. I am happy to say things are changing for the good. But the battle is far from over. Money is still disappearing in the mail - not so good. We are still feeling somewhat isolated here, but it's better. Several warriors have agreed to intercede for us and that's huge. It so helps in the work that needs to be done here. I sometimes feel like one of those spinning top toys - wind me up and wherever I stop, there is ministry that needs to be done there. Please pray for Poppa to release provisions and for the increase of awareness of faith He has already given us to do this mission.

I chatted with several peeps this weekend and I had a chance to speak into the lie that there is more then one God. I had a chance to share just how amazing it is for me to have an intimate relationship with the God I worship and that I know of no other God that will do that. It consistently blows my mind that the God that created this universe has the time to hang with anyone who takes the time to know Him. And that I had a chance to encourage folks that they can have the same... Is just awesome. When I am at my lowest, Poppa finds a way to cheer me up.

I finished my first Kensington painting yesterday. It is raw, rough, energetic and since I am my worst critic, I am glad to say that I am happy with the piece and it's direction. I see so many possibilities and I can't wait to see what is next. Yea God!

I had a great time chatting with Hilly this afternoon an Panera's. But when is it not good to see him? He so cheered me up. And tonight was great... I met with what I hope is a new friend and it was a true divine appointment. We had a great talk at what's quickly becoming one of my favorite places - the Lost Bar. God is so good and He has done such amazing work there. Please pray for more building of relationships.

It's 11:30 pm and the drummer downstairs just started... Not so good. I guess it's an earplug night :( . Please pray for rest.

Love you all!
