We want to give praise to God!!! We just got the kid’s passports along with their entrance visas in the mail today! Kellie just returned from her cancer check up and the Dr. said to go ahead and plan on going back to Papua New Guinea! She got a clean bill of health. Then we got a phone call last night from some friends saying they want to buy us our needed laptop! Also, we have ¼ of the $ needed towards our return tickets (thank you Cornerstone!). And Micah prayed 2 nights ago that a boy in his class would stop bullying him and hitting him. Well, Micah came home yesterday and said that this boy came up to him that morning and ‘out of the blue’ said to him, “I have decided to stop hitting you; I will not bully you anymore.” And he has!
We have reserved tickets for our return to the tribe for the first week of August. 16 weeks and counting.
Over the past months, we have spent countless hours worrying and, as the Bible says, trying to add “another hour to our lives”. What we have learned yet again is that prayer works! So those post-it-notes with our plans and strategies to scrimp and save are now in the garbage where they belong… along with our many parenting “ideas” for how to stop a bully. Prayer is the only strategy, for by it God fights our battles for us!
His Clay Pots,
Jason, Kellie, Micah, Sophia, & Malachi Knapp
