where to begin!

Life has been quite hectic. I really need to get into a schedule of sorts especially since we home school.
YEAH!!!! I took a case in to register for court date today. I am so relieved. Please keep that case in your prayers!!

One of our former foster daughters has moved back for a year and will be helping out some. We can see in many ways the problems she faced and moving back here at this particular time is all in God's timing. The boys are enjoying having P back.

We have Mom A at the clinic for an induction today (readers don't get antsy please). She should have baby boy tonight sometime. Her family seems non supportive and won't be at the hospital with her. I took her in today and was with her while they set stuff up and all and will go back later today. I am thankful that she was fine with me praying for her and the baby during this time. I sat by her bed thanking God for this new life and that all will be healthy. Please pray as we use this as a witness time to her.

Mom J (thank you all for the $150 so far.......any others:-) )....will be coming Sep. 15th probably. The 14th is Moon Festival and a time for families to be together. Her mom decided to wait til after this holiday to bring her here. That is fine, though Luke will be in China then.......actually just starting his 2 week ministry trip!!AHHH!!
We are in need of maternity clothes. I know shipping is expensive, but if you have some or know of some, please contact me. We hopefully will have a family or two coming before February for adoptions and maybe they can bring some stuff.

I met with an organization that works with abused women and unwed mothers. Mom J was their original case, but since she wanted to stay in Taitung, they kinda just let her do her own thing. The organization came to us and asked about her, what we can do for her, etc. They seemed ok with it all. We are a family style ministry, not......here's a bed.......but here's a home away from home.

We have decided that our unwed mother's ministry will currently stay private, as in nonregistered. It is our adoption ministry that will be registered. We are praying for a house to rent or allow us to use........the latter would be best!!........but again, resources...........that is so difficult................I'd like to do a walk a thon, or Christmas sale or something here for funds for a home and the ministry there..................but then again, we need helpers.............we know God is in control. Please do keep praying.
