preparation

We keep praying for God to prepare us for our trip to Brazil.  I think He is answering that prayer.  You know the saying "when it rains, it pours"?  Well, it feels like it's raining and beginning to pour and we're not talking about blessings.  Or maybe just blessings in diguise, because I think these things [could, should] be preparing us for what lies ahead.  Pray for us, if you will.  Pray for us to be prepared, to be flexible, to be willing and, if you will, pray for these things in particular for each member of our family. 

Keith:  Vision, Confidence
Holly:  Faith that God will give her the ability to do what He's called her to do.
Seth:  Security
Todd:  Selflessness
Megan: Protection

Thank you.
