Off to New York

Angie called and she is doing better. She still has some tightness and discomfort, but is doing okay. She sounds tired. She says she can use a break right about now. She asked for prayer for tomorrow is the big day - they go to New York to Time Square Church.

UPDATE: Angie called (I'm glad she called because I had seen that there was a severe weather warning for the East - especially around were she is at). ---She called with a joy and excitement that was contagious. She said their trip to New York was interesting because of the weather. She enjoyed seeing the snow falling and rain and wind...she said it was "crazy". Once they arrived at the church they practiced, practiced, practiced. She was nervous, but the excitement took over. She says, God answered all their prayers and HE was truly glorified. She feels refreshed and with her purpose renewed. She says that as she was on the stage looking around then singing, she could not believe that "she, an ordinary person" would be there and singing for the LORD - "it was amazing Mom! I still can't believe it. God is amazing, I love Him so much." She said that they got back to the school at about 1:30 a.m., they didn't get much sleep but were on a spiritual high. Thank you to all that prayed for this trip and all that it entailed...to God be the glory!

Prayer Request

PLEASE PRAY - Early this morning I got a call from Angie. She has been having chest pains for a while, but now she is having lots of pressure on her chest and is having difficulty breathing. They will be taking her to the Doctor - PRAY...thank you.

UPDATE: We just got a call from Angie. She is doing better. Doctor says she probably has a strained muscle. All her vitals, etc. are normal and she is doing better. Keep praying...thank you!

Pictures

Today I received PICTURES!!!

This one is of the her whole class. They went to eat fried chicken and afterward they got to have ice cream. Angie says it was yummy!!!

This picture is from the school they go to on Fridays. The little guy is the one she spoke about before and the little girl is his sister...she asks that we keep praying for them, specially him.
I also got to speak with her via telephone. She thanks everyone for their prayers and says she is glad mid-terms are over. They had a chance to rest and recoup - thank you Jesus! They continuing to get ready for their big day at Time Square Church, which by the way has been changed to October 28th. She read to me some lyrics of a song which were so deep and reverent (I wish I could hear them singing it). She is excited and feels much better. Again, thank you all who prayed for her during this intense time; continue to pray her to come home in Christmas and whatever else the LORD leads you to pray for her.

Mid-Terms

This week is mid-terms at Mt. Zion. Please keep Angie in prayer. I spoke with her yesterday and she sounds better and she hasn't been running a fever either - THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS! They are all getting ready to have mid-terms this week, and as many of you know, Angie simply doesn't do well with testing. But we are all confident that God will come through for her and through her, as He has done before.

Prayer Request

I spoke to Angie yesterday. She sounded tired. She asked for prayer - that she may continue to have the endurance that only God can give; that she retain all the material being taught to her in order to put forth all the things that are now coming due and that she be able to turn in all papers on time; for mid-terms which are around the corner; that she stay healthy (she has been running a fever for two days).

She knows that God will sustain her and that He did not bring her to Mt. Zion only to let her down. She simply is asking that her church family continue to lift her up in prayer.

Thank you.

Angie called today - yeah!!!

She said that she has had a very difficult, emotional week. She felt busy and rushed until today that the school had a day of fasting and prayer and there was breakthrough. She sounded tired, yet was very excited. They had just returned from school they help at. She said that she had been praying for that little guy (the 5 year old boy) all week. She was asking the LORD for a smile from him and she says that this little guy gave her the biggest smile in the world! Made her day; actually made her week. Tomorrow they get to go shopping - yeah, she says she needs some stuff. It has been cold and raining; her back has been hurting - pray for her.

Hello

Angie sends her hellos. She continues to ask for prayer for God's provision so that she can come home for the Christmas Break. They (a group of young men and women) finally got to go to the school that they will be helping at on Fridays. It has been raining and that's why they haven't been able to go, but this last Friday they actually got to go. They enjoyed their time with the kids - she said she was actually looking forward to being around little one (Angie has such a heart for kids). She thought a lot about the little ones back home and wondered if they will remember her when she comes back. Anyhow, they had a great time with the kids. She says a little 5 year old boy simply stole her heart. He is kind of a solitary kid, so she will be praying for him. She says to pray that he would be softened and that he would open up to her and the others (there's a lot going on with him; kind of sad when you think he is only 5 years old).

She just loves, loves, loves choir. Their choir actually gets to be part of a bigger choir Time Square Church in New York in November - they are preparing for this. She is besides her self with the anticipation.

She sounds great.
