Monday

All the boys...
L-R Madalin, Fanel, Adi, Janos, Sergiu and Daniel

As I write the background music is saying "gotta open up your mouth and give Him praise, open up your heart and give Him praise, lift up holy hands unashamed in the sanctuary".... He deserves praise. He has established each day for each of us and He knows what each day holds. I am glad. My heart is heavy about tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day that Madalin moves into his new home, two months in the making. He will go to school, I will get to pack his bags with 2 other workers who have a relationship with him, and when school is out, Bruce will pick him up and take him to McDonald's for lunch and then to his new home. He has spent two evenings with Nico and Zoli with his brothers and so everyone knows each other. His stuff will be at his house waiting for him. Please pray whenever you read this...for Bruce to have wisdom in what he says, for Madalin to respond favorably, for Madalin to experience love and feel safe, for the enemy not to gain any ground in Madalin's heart, for the kids of Nadia to feel safe and loved, for his brothers especially to know they are loved and safe and for the adults to be usable by God to minister to these kids in their undefined needs. There has been a lot of change recently, and there is a need to grieve. Pray for God to shine His love on us and for us to receive it. Open up your heart and give Him praise because He's already sent the cure in Jesus, and now He is going to give it specifically to Madalin through Nico and Zoli. They are laying down their lives to save this one, praise God that we are worth that to Him! Praise God that His mercies are new every morning and that His plans for us are to prosper us, to give us a hope and a future.
