Some have asked how they can pray for us....

What a blessing to have so many friends and family that have asked how they can pray for us while we are gone!  Thank you!!  If you feel so led, here are a few ways you could pray for us....

• That this time would be a refreshment for both our marriage and our family and our extended family (Did you know my mom and dad will be with us through most of the trip?  And that we will be visiting with Kev's sister and her family in Thailand?) – that we would relax, have fun and ENJOY each other
• That the relationships w/in our family would be strengthened – that we would make memories to cherish for years to come
• We are travelling in countries that are predominantly atheist or Buddhist – please pray that the kids would see into worlds and cultures beyond what they know – that they would see people who need to know Jesus and that they would be moved through love to compassion
• That we would allow God to do whatever work HE wants to do in our family, in our relationships individually with Him, and between us and those with whom we come into contact
• That we would be able to make wise choices about foods, etc, to help us stay healthy -- especially my parents and the kids :-)
• That I would find the balance of just going with the experience... and that I wouldn't over educationalize ev erything!  That's hard for me to do! :-)
• That Roger and Marlys, Kevin's folks, would enjoy their stay here in California -- that there wouldn't be major house issues while we are gone that they have to deal with.
