Happy Birthday to my amazing sister! It has been quite a week for us. We were rocked by tragedy on Tuesday: When Daddy Killed Mommy, and an update is that the father is now in jail. We are still in prayer, and will keep you informed as we know of any way (besides prayer--PLEASE keep praying!) that you can help.
Caid had an accident, falling on the wall of the church and getting a concussion/two stitches on Wednesday:
He is doing really well, but I think the scariest part was that it was our first big injury/public hospital visit in Brazil, and we saw really quickly how everything could have so easily been so much worse. We are truly grateful!
Ana Sofia is battling an infection, with booger bubbles flowing fast, so life is just a little harder in all things. I had my 35 week ultrasound, which showed a healthy baby in birthing position: next week starts the "any day now" countdown!
Today was our 7 year church celebration at Cajueiro Claro (video to come soon!), and it was wonderful to be with our loved ones and remember God's faithfulness: but it was officially the last big event I had on the calendar to do (outside the house), and now it is time for another nap:).
Reads from the Interwebs:
1. When Christians think like Elijah: Powerful
2. How Masterbation almost Ruined our Honeymoon: really well written, and habits we NEED to consider, wherever we are in life.
3. Serving Caviar when they Needed Chicken Pot Pie: Such good imagery--so true!
4. This was one of my favorite speakers from the Justice Conference: she was the one who suggested studying Jesus's life and seeing how all of his interactions/actions/words were to "turn the tables" and bring equity, rather than equality (ok, that is just the start of this conversation):
5. This isn't something to read--YET, but I am really excited to be part of a book launch for Craig Greenfield (which, if you've read Sunday Fundays, you've seen me link to many things from his blog). I loved his other book (Subversive Jesus), and so am super excited to be able to "pre-read" the next book and share about it with you guys!
Happy November to you all!
