Days Gone By

As I realize how long it has been I am amazed at how quickly the days have gone by. Last year Avril asked me if I would give an oral hygiene presentation to all of our prevention staff and it finally came to fruition over the last couple of Friday’s. I spent a lot of time writing the presentation on Power Point and it was awesome the way God hooked me up with a local hygienist to help me get the brushes, toothpaste etc. to give to them. I was very much in my element doing this even though I had never done a presentation like this before. They were excited to learn so much about their dental health and didn’t realize how much the health of their teeth and gums related to the rest of the body.
We have also been working diligently at getting the new website up for Living Hope. We have had a volunteer here for a week helping us to set it up and put it together. She is going to maintain the site for us back in the States and this is such a huge answer to prayer. We also had another volunteer that came in to serve wherever she was needed and it turned out she works for World Vision and has worked with streamlining over 30,000 volunteers. Needless to say we have asked her to help us put together the volunteer portion of the website to take it to the next level. The website is www.livinghope.co.za
We have to consider some tough decisions with my parents so please pray for us. Pray for wisdom and guidance. My mom had to get off the medication that she was taking for memory and within a matter of days she has digressed quickly. My Father already has Alzheimer’s and needs my mom to take care of him. Financially there are some big issues at hand. My strength comes from the Lord and I know that in His timing he will give me the direction I need.
