Prayers

Well, we have noticed how few posts we have done the last couple months and honestly we haven't really had anything blogworthy going on...just life for the Kennedys, which I guess we always have something going on. Maybe we are just more comfortable here now and getting some routine although even having a routine doesn't mean the Lord won't change it up like last night...

While coming home from AWANA we were turning onto our street and saw a young man on a bike being beaten up by another who had hopped out of a car. We stopped and the attacker got back in the car and sped off. We stopped and Miles got out to speak to this guy who was obviously shaken up and stated this was all random, he didn't know the other guy. We ended up loading up his bike and giving him a ride to his house not too far away. He said that God made this all happen so he would meet Miles because he has several difficult things going on in his life and needs someone to talk to. We prayed with him and Miles exchanged phone numbers. Then Davis opened the van door and gave his jelly beans he'd gotten at AWANA to him. After driving away Davis explained to us that he wanted to do that because "that's what Christians do". We thank God for giving us this opportunity and pray that Miles will be able to minister the love of Christ to this hurting man.

This incident confirmed yet again why the Lord has placed us here in this house, on this street, in this city. This comes less than two weeks after a night of heavy gang activity on our street that has tested our faith. What an awesome God we serve! Our trust and faith in Him is continually being tested and growing. We are thankful for it all!!

An update on Salyna... I have been struggling with some pain and a lot of fatigue the past few weeks. I have an appointment on April 1st with a Rheumatologist. We are praying for us to be accepting of the Lord's will in this regard and for this doctor to have open ears.

Another prayer request... The Lord has been so gracious to us and we are so grateful! Since moving we have been overwhelmed financially and pray that some of our burden may be lifted.

Thank you for your prayers!!

Check back for a cute and creative post in the near future!
