Did you pray without me? I hope so! My inconsistency has been such a bad example for you! Yes, we are busy, here at the office, but prayer is the #1 thing any one can do! Without prayers backing up all we do, how can we be confident that it is God's doing? When we do take the time to tell Him about everything, it is so much easier to see His movement! I'd like to give a special "thank you" to those of you who prayed this Tuesday without me; "You are wonderful! Thank you!"

Tuesday my brain wasn't functioning and I didn't think of this blog until it was too late.... oops. Today I'm typing this one-handed while I eat breakfast and get ready to go back to work! This week we've been busily gathering the things we need to send out in a shipment for Ukraine. We packed up some things yesterday. Today we've got at least as much to do again! The shipment is including clothes and shoes for the needy orphans, as well as supplies for the Orphan's Hope camps this summer. We are packing supplies for the younger kids camp in July and the teen's camp in August. It's exciting to get this all ready!

I need to head off soon, so here are the prayer points I can think of off the top of my head:

- Speed in packing
- An enjoyable time for our volunteers
- God's provision for shipping costs
- That I'd be able to help others catch God's vision for orphans
- For the trip to Portland to ship the supplies
- For Steve when he's re-packing (It's a long story! Ask if you want to know more.)
- That God would give me words for a receipt and newsletter
- That I'd be able to print them before I go
- God specific team members for this summer
- Encouragement for those already signed up to join us
- That the team members support would come in quickly
- That God would use all we do!

Praises!
