Praying up the House

Sunday, August 7th from 2:00-4:00 PM, we will be Praying up the House for Grace.  Here is the thought behind the theme.  Every since I began the journey of adopting Grace, which included months of battling in my brain whether this was really what I should do, well let's just say, things have happened.  Dear friends told me that when you truly begin to listen to God and walk on faith stepping out to do His will, the mischief maker begins to interfere in every detail possible. 

Of course, I blew those comments off, thinking if this is God's plan- there is nothing that can happen to detour my efforts.  Well, this is one time in my life when my age and being mature were not synonymous.  Not even close. How naive could one middle age woman be?  So, here I go head first into brick wall after brick wall and roadblocks that seems intentional.  Oops, did I say intentional?  Were they right, was the mischief maker busy? Hummm?

In June, I sent out an SOS of sorts to all my loving family and friends asking them to participate in praying up the house as we prep for Grace to come home.  So this is the big week-end in JOCO. 1208 Peach Orchard Road in  Four Oaks will never be the same. We will be praying for God's mercy on the team headed to Uganda in Sept when I will meet Grace.  Also, we will pray for God to move within Grace as she enters into a new phase of her life, a new world.  That she will be receptive to a loving home in the US- in JOCO, not too far from her friends in Durham- Nathan, Ruth and Agnes Tucker who moved here last year from Royal School and Orphanage.  Further, we will be asking for a smooth court process in Uganda, and for our house to receive blessings for peace, harmony, and stability as we prepare it for Grace. 

On Sunday, we will be having lots of food and fun before and after the serious business of kicking the mischief maker out of the picture. He has to go, there is no room for him here.  So be in prayer, if you cannot come.  Love to all!!
