Mat 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. " - seems like this is how the Lord is teaching me to trust in His provision - to be obedient each day, to take my thoughts captive and focus on the tasks He places in front of me each day. I can do nothing apart from Him, but I can do all things through Him (Christ) who strengthens me.

Please be praying for supernatural strength for me and my family as David and I seek to teach our children the ways of the Lord - "to daily consider others better than themselves" and to set a Godly example for them, supernatural provision for funds for my trip - for me not to listen to the lies of the enemy and the condemnation he has been trying to feed me, provision for what we need to take for the orphans and other families in Zimbabwe and supernatural strength for the people of Zimbabwe to stand strong in their faith as their elections approach at the end of this month.

Rom 10:17
... So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

We will be sending out an email soon to all the prayer partners and others who would like to be involved in writing letters of encouragement to the orphans and helping us gather some supplies we would like to be able to take with. So please be praying about your involvement and where the Lord would use your gifts to make a difference in the life of those who have so much less than us.

Mar 12:41-44
Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much.
Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which make a quadrans.
So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury;
"for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood."

I daily have to learn to be content with what I have, the Lord gifts us all in different ways so we may all come together as one body and bring Him glory. Never think you cannot do great things for God, the Lord can accomplish His work without us, but in His grace He allows us to partner with Him and give of what we do have, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.

IF YOU HAVE NOT SIGNED UP TO BE A PRAYER SPONSOR FOR ANY OF THE ORPHANS BUT WOULD LIKE TO WRITE A LETTER OR HELP BUY SOME SUPPLIES FOR OUR TRIP COMING UP IN MAY/JUNE, PLEASE CALL ME ON 847 1177 OR EMAIL ME AT d_jgray@bellsouth.net so I can add you to the list and keep you updated.

Have a blessed day
