God keeps a promise! (above) Nerida, lower left- I promised her I would see her in 12 months last year and I had no idea what villiage she lived in. My prayer was to find her so she would know I did not break my promise! On our first day of VBS in Popa Leon as we were wrapping things up here came little Nerida! She came to VBS again the next day and never left my side. What a kiss from Heaven! Thank you Lord, I know it's ALL because of YOU! |
Plumbing! God continues to lead me to look beyond the surface of what I see...
