On top of being at Student Life this week...... I am also following the Compassion Bloggers to Nicaragua!

You can hop over to Jill's place and see the list of bloggers.  I am so excited to read their stories.... I know you will love what they share.

We arrived at Orange Beach and just finished our first night of worship at Student Life. Matt Chandler is the speaker.  Amazing.

My First Time~

This coming Tuesday (18th) Lysa and I leave with our church youth group to go to Student Life. We are so very excited.  Lysa's first time was last year......   but this year I am going as a chaperone! Student Life supports Compassion International and we will be able to hear the testimony and meet an LDP. Did I say we are so excited?  This year the LDP's will be from India. This is a first. For several years now they have been from Kenya.  Maureen came to the USA as an LDP to speak at the Student Life camps in 2010.

The speaker for the week we will be at camp is ..... Matt Chandler! We can not wait!   Also, last year it was Urban serve Student Life camp... this year we are attending Student Life at the Beach!  So we will be back on the gulf of Mexico!  White sand.... beautiful water.  

*** please continue to pray for Maureen. I can not imagine the pain she is going through. She did update her status on fb:

Even when things tend to be hard for me, God I will still worship u. Even when I walk through the valley of shadow of death I will fear no evil for u r with me!

Bless the Lord, Oh my Soul....

Please join me in praying for Maureen (Maurine), her brothers and her finance .....

Maureen's mom went to her eternal home in the wee hours of the night.  It was morning time in Kenya.

My heart hurts for Maureen and her family.  She continues to cling to God and her faith is amazing.

This is her facebook status:

Bless The Lord oh my soul for u loved my mom so much and u have given us a testimony and the testimony is that u still lives and that u r everlasting. Thank u for giving our sweet mama to us n now u have seen it worthy to take her to ua home. I worship u oh Lord and I still live u n will forever do! My mom has gone to her eternal home, friends thank u so much for always being there with us. We love u

Jennifer is in the arms of her Savior. She is completely healed.

Thank you for praying for Maureen's mom, Jennifer.  While we were hoping for a different outcome God's timing is perfect.  To God be the glory.

***I will be turning the comments off. Seems lots of spam lately. Want to honor Maureen. It is so hard to do from so far away.... her mom sent gifts to my children and I when we met Maureen this past January...  I am honored to call her my friend and sister in Christ.  Maureen has touched our lives in ways we will never be the same. I am so very thankful God has given us the gift ... the wonderful gift of knowing Maureen. We love her dearly.

Join with me.....  in praying for Maureen that God would give her GRACE, MERY and PEACE in the days ahead.

Please Pray Right Now~

For Maureen's mom..... Jennifer.   She had brain surgery yesterday and is in critical condition! Would you just take a few minutes and pray for her.  Will you also pray for Maureen, her brother, Austin and her fiance Oliver?  

Within 36 hours the money was raised for Maureen's mom to have the surgery! Truly a miracle.

15,000.....  less than 36 hrs .....  God is able.

You can read this post by Tracey. Worth the read....

Our God is able.
