Praying for guidance and wisdom

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting..."   ~James 1:5-6

Praise God for safe travels! We had a fairly uneventful trip into Port-au-Prince today.  Tropical Storm Sandy definitely has things a little chaotic around  here... SO not what we are used to in North America! Not sure whether we will be able to make it out to La Gonave tomorrow, but we are getting in a taxi at 7:30 am one way or another and heading to the wharf.

Praise God for Carl! Despite the crazy weather, our dear friend Carl took us to meet with our lawyer tonight (as she could not make it to us due to the rain). What a blessing that we got to meet with her! No good news, but at least we now know where we stand and what needs to be done. More details later (when I have an actual keyboard), for now, we are praising God for His Grace and Mercies and praying specifically for:
- Clarity for where to go from here. May God slam shut any doors through which we should not enter and widen those we need to find!
- Catrina's birth father's heart to be burdened to  do what he needs to do
- Wisdom (which we have faith we will receive) to know God's Will in each step of this process
- Compassion for everyone involved in this process
- Safety and the ability to travel as necessary. (Jesus is going to calm another storm...how cool!)

Many of you knew I was a little anxious about this trip for some reason...I think it was likely just because I knew we'd be faced with some tough choices while here. Rest assured that anxiety has been relaced with excitement and joy that I get to see in what xool ways God is going to make Himself known over the next week! Praise God for lifting my spirit and keeping my focus on Him!
