Prayer Requests

  • Praise the Lord that He brought Peter and Janet to rent our house. Pray that they will be settled there and feel that it is home.
  • Please pray for our children, Niall and Sorche, as they settle into school and dorm life. Pray for good friends for both of them and that they will be able to handle the adjustment to a new school routine.
  • We are so thankful for the many people who have pledged to support us financially. Please continue to pray for this area, for our understanding of the new things we are encountering and that God will provide for us in all areas.

Hot, humid days and packing

The weather has been very hot and humid. Jim has spent hours at the studio working hard on the commission he hopes to finish next week. We are attempting to pack boxes, mostly books so far, and fit in doctor's appointments, good-bye lunches with friends, work, carting kids to and fro, neighbourhood picnics and fund-raising letters all at the same time. God has given us peace about waiting for his timing to sell the house. There is a woman coming Thursday evening to view the house again and show it to her family. Please pray that if God would have her buy the house, all the details would come together quickly, easily and smoothly from her angle and for the right timing for us.
This weekend we are going to the cottage to see Tristan who has been there since the beginning of July and for Jim to speak at the little Anglican church the family attends when up north. Then Niall and Sorche will stay on and join their cousins for "Cousin Camp" hosted by Aunt Cathy and Aunt Bonnie, Jim's two sisters. We will return home and continue with work and major packing up, with only Hamish home for company. The days are quickly going by to wind up our lives here in Bronte.
