Rarely does a song touch me deeply. A few years ago it was Mercy Me's "I Can Only Imagine" along with Newsboys' "It Is You," and "He Reigns." A co-worker gave me a CD in appreciation for some help with a computer and, wow, was I the one who got blessed greater! Allow me to share the lyrics to "We Will Dance" until you can hear it for yourself: Sing a song of celebration Dance with all your might We will dance on the streets that are golden Sing aloud for the time of rejoicing is near BTW, I stumbled across a delightful Windows Media Player radio station called allworship.com Jasmine finished the math portion of Jasmine Elementary (A Beka homeschool) and officially finished "TAM-he-dee" (kindergarten) at the local Schmidt's Girls College Monday. She's close to finishing the phonics portion of Jasmine Elementary and will get a jump start on 1st Grade math/phonics while practicing her cursive and print handwriting through the end of June. She'll have July off from school while attending a local fun camp in Arabic-English-Hebrew (she's ready for a third language!) August 1 will see her and her mom start back with Jasmine Elementary were she'll continue the self-paced curriculum. I'm glad to have you with us. Have an awesome week! May God find us listening more attentively to His voice this week as I am, Yours because His,
+ <L A S T W E E K>< ++ I had an opportunity to assist a co-worker with various computing needs and definitely needed your intercession to provide the insight requested... not only was I able to help meet those needs, but I was able to assist another co-worker with "pressing challenges." Your intercession made a great difference, and I thank you! + Shirin needed continued prayer as she worked with Jasmine to finish the A Beka kindergarten lessons. The end of the year just seems to drag... Shirin writes, "Thank you for your prayers. Jasmine and I are one lesson away from starting our carefree summer, while at least Jasmine is ready for a fun time in summer camp." + Jasmine is learning "it's not how you start but how you finish" and wants to do well. One of her nightly prayer requests is "to have a good day tomorrow." You prayed with her along these lines... she says to tell you thank you for praying for her and that she had a lot of good days!
<T H I S W E E K><<>< I have the formidable challenging of putting together a computer that will dual boot. A local friend promises his help, so pray with me that he'd have ears to hear and eyes to see. <>< Please pray for Shirin and Jasmine as they put away school supplies and organize Jasmine's room to be more like a six-year-old's room. <>< Jasmine asks that you begin praying for her YMCA Fun Camp beginning in July, especially that she would make a lot of friends so she could tell them about Jesus.
>< Pray for the peoples of Calcutta.>
