Praise the Lord!

"From the rising of the sun to its going down the LORD's name is to be praised. The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens." -Psalm 113:3-4

Today there were several reasons to praise the Lord. First of all, two more students chose to be baptized today. Ellianna, a ten-year-old missionary child, and Oscar, an 18-year-old ministry youth, both decided to publicly profess their faith in Jesus. Five carloads of people from the ranch came to witness and celebrate these two young believers. Although the ceremony was brief, there was much rejoicing among the participants.

Later this afternoon, I learned from my "roommate" Sara that she was moving back in with me. I say "roommate" because although Sara technically lives with me, she has been a single housemom with four young boys for the last several months. Our Children's Services Director came up with a new plan for the boys that works best for everyone. Three are moving in with a family that is already established, and the youngest will be moving in with the Director's family. Sara is now free to return to our duplex to live and will go back to being an assistant in the homes. I am thrilled to have Sara here! When they met with the boys and the family, the boys were very happy to receive the news.

The Lord continues to work in a might way in the lives of our children!
