Students arrive today!

Woke up to a stormy New York morning. Students arrive throughout the day. Please pray for them as they travel. There are delays in all the airports and a hour and a half ground delay at LaGuardia.
Also, pray for my cell phone. :) I carry a water bottle in my bag or purse because we walk everywhere all day. Last night it poured out and flooded my purse. I had hope my cell phone would dry out and work, but as of right now it is really dead. I have to find a store today and see if I can get a new phone. Please pray I can recover the numbers I had stored in it.
One of the things I do to relax and rejuvinate me during the year is to take ballroom dancing lessons. I found out just before I left that my studio has studios in New York that will allow me to participate in classes while here. Last night I went to a studio that is only a mile away and took my first class. It was great! Many of the instructors here are professional dancers. It was a little intimidating, but just what I needed before the students arrive. Sometimes you just need to get away.
Thank you for your continued prayers. We had a student who needed a significant amount of money on Sunday in order to be able to come. We prayed as a team and the Lord raised $1600 overnight with more on the way! Another of my girls saw over $600 come in last minute. We believe they are to be here with us and are so excited to see the Lord provide for them. Please continue to pray for them and others as they seek the last amount of their support to come in.

  1. Good morning from Illinois! Sorry about your cell phone - am praying for you guys today and all the students - I'm sending you a message on facebook that I'd also left on your cell phone but after seeing this I thought maybe I'd send it via the internet too! Yay for dance classes in NYC too! Hope to talk to you soon. Love you - Katie
