My husband has a big job interview in an hour! And I feel bad asking for a prayer request for this, but I'm trying to let go that God wouldn't want to help me when there are such big things.
So, to at least feel better, could you also pray about:
- My friend Jessica went into labor at 26 weeks, but the doctors have been able to stop it. If you could pray that God keeps that baby in her uterus for as long as possible, I would appreciate that!
- My friend is hoping for a baby and I've been praying for her for that.
Thank you!! We love you guys so much :)

Community Center Construction: Northern Iraq
My husband would call me a 'bleeding heart,' but I just can't help myself. I received a message on Facebook about the organization World Orphans. They are both helping restore the church in many places and reaching out to hurting communities.
I was really excited to see something happening in Iraq! So here's the information below:
Community Center Construction: Northern Iraq
Iraq has been torn apart by conflict and strife for decades. Sectarian violence and an international war have wreaked havoc on this land. Around two million Iraqis have been displaced just since the recent conflict and about 100,000 have died. In a place hostile to Christianity, the church is small yet surprisingly strong. In Northern Iraq, referred to as Kurdistan by the locals, the church is reaching out to a hurting community comprised mainly of widows and their children who lost their fathers fighting Saddam Hussein. This area is known as "The Freedom Martyr's Village" and is where the government gave World Orphans one acre of land for the building of the community center and playground facilities. The community center to be used as a vocational and counseling center. In order to provide a measure of sustainability to the project, they have decided to build a second floor that will house a celebration hall for weddings and other special events in the community. Construction of the community center will cost approximately $285,000 with $100,000 already raised.

Dear God,
Please take care of Jessica and her child. Whether You want this child born tomorrow or in 3 months, please take care of her. Hold her hand and hold her heart.
With All My Love,

A Prayer Request, Please!
My husband is up for a job in Boston at the moment. It's with a MUCH bigger firm (#13 in the nation) with a job that's a little intimidating for him.
My husband JUST got a call from the #3 firm IN THE WORLD for a phone interview with a job that he would be much more comfortable with. BUT this job is in a place that would wildly displace us from friends and family (more so than we already have been).
I'm willing to go wherever. Could you just pray that, if God wants us to go, we'll go? And if God wants us to stay (even if it's here), that we stay?
I would really appreciate that :) Much love to all of you! I'm hoping to put up pictures of my red velvet pancakes soon.
