Birthday and Prayer Meeting

Last night our staff and short termers met for prayer after Weeno's birthday. Weeno's birthday is one of two this week (tonight we celebrate Christian's birthday). He had a great time and it's always fun for the staff to socialize with the kids over dinner. With around 70 birthdays in a year, we usually end up sitting next to different kids at each party. It's a great time getting to talk with them about their day and what they did in school and play.

During the prayer meetings we share many concerns, praises, and things we have to be thankful for. In this work there are always so many things to pray about for the kids, workers, our own families and CSC as a ministry. Several things that we prayed about last night were: CSC's financial situation (income has been very low during the summer), Andrew M.'s trip back to MN today, Janice (who has been struggling with her behavior in class), Warlita (who severely sprained her ankle this week, Anthony O. (who is desiring to join the Marine Corps), some of our older kids who have recently joined adoptive families, thanks for the good health of our kids over the past few months, Teacher Eunice's return to school after a long illness, and my shoulder (I've had significant pain for the last seven weeks). There were many other praises and petitions as well. We're so grateful to have a God who knows all of our needs!
