Back to School Blessings.

Whether you have the "back to school blues" or "back in the swing-of-things swagger," summer days have either passed you by or are growing fewer in number by the day.  I pray that you enter into another season with rejuvenated joy and know that you are not alone. 

Students from the slums of Southern India

Boarding school buds in Bali.

Collegiate cuties in Romania. :)

Missions Day.

Sunday is Missions Day at my church.  I've been looking over photos and preparing media in order to share the stories of those who have impacted my heart.









Here's a few that caught my attention this morning....

                      Shared stories inspire more stories to be shared. Praying for Missions Day.

Reality.

We hear about them all of the time.  Houses sheltering children that are detrimental to their health and safety.  We grow immune to the infomercials, documentaries, and photos that attempt to capture the reality of the situation...

But for Gabi (short for Gabriel) and his family...

Their situation is reality.















While Gabi's living situation has slightly improved, the effects of poverty will not vanish completely.




Please be in prayer for the realities that children face everyday, not only in Romania, but around the world.
