July Prayer Update

Prayer Update July 2009


From everlasting to everlasting you are God. - Psalm 90:2


Family & Friends,


Greetings from Lawrenceville, GA! When I moved back here two years ago, I was suffocated by the pain of watching my mom’s life come to an end as she took her last breath. Now, God has breathed new life into me through the joy of watching my daughter’s life begin as she took her first  

breath. From first breath to last breath, from life to death, in joy and pain, He is God. Please praise God with us that he creates life and promises new life to come.

Hannah was born on July 3. Hannah and Mia are healthy. Thank you so much for praying for them as we prepared for delivery. Please praise God with us for Hannah. Hannah’s name originally means “grace”. Please pray that Hannah would experience God’s grace in her life and respond in faith and love to him.

Jonah celebrated his 4th birthday on July 11. Jonah had fun playing on the water slide at his Batman party with family and friends. Jonah has recently enjoyed baseball, singing and playing his guitar, pretending he is Batman, and kissing Hannah. Please praise God with us for how he is growing Jonah and pray that Jonah would know how much God loves him.
