With heavy heart


Sometimes life is SO PAINFUL!!! I just got a call from my dad that Steven Curtis Chapman's family lost their youngest adopted daughter from China. Maria Sue Chapman. I'm so grieved by their loss. Their ministry has been such an inspiration to Bring Me Hope!

And as you all know, several weeks ago an earthquake claimed many, many lives in China- the worst disaster in 3 decades. Please be in prayer for all the families that are hurting right now.

What to say?

right now I'm just trying to figure out what in the world I should say on the Night Walk conference call tonight. I feel like I've told all the stories a million times. And honestly I'm a little nervous that it will go ok. That I'll say the right thing, that the kids will be on the phone, that the battery on my phone won't die... Yesterday we found out that of all things the torch relay was in Nanchang and the kids would have to do school during the Night Walk to make up for the time off. I just smiled thinking, "how in the world could we have planned for that happening?" Luckily the director is really great and said ok for the kids to still walk. But still, just don't know what will happen. I seem to be saying this one line quite often, "We just do the best we can and leave the results to God."

Also, as soon as I get a chance I'm going to be posting. Sorry for the long delay, it seems like everything hit at the same moment. (2 concerts, camp training, night walk) As my dad says, it's like being in a bathtub full of ping pong balls and trying to keep them all under the water. You just run out of hands. And I guess lately the blog ping pong ball has just been hanging out on top of the water :>) ok, back to what I'm going to say tonight.
