Continue in Prayer

Please continue to pray for us as we continue our journey through all the type errors and that we will be guided when the time comes to fix any content errors. My mom's house caught on fire today. My brothers could not get to her because one has a wife in labor (Pray for her!!) and the other was completely snowed in. I am further away in the mountains and am very snowed in as well. But God (Wakantanka) helped her and she is safe, journeying to my brother's house in her 4 wheel drive, intending to park above his road and walk down. Please pray she does not fall (or wreck!) on her way there.
God has been so kind to provide for replacement of the foreign language Bibles that we had to leave with friends last year. We have been unable to get them (or any of our things) back from them- their number has been disconnected. We pray that they are safe, even though we have no idea what happened. Please, if people care about you- let them know you are okay. If you are mad at them, let them know so they can make amends. People are not all psychic and do not know what they have done to offend you. It is heartbreaking to be casting about for a reason- especially when there might not even be one! And if you love them, please let them know. Even if it is only a thirty second phone call or a post on their facebook wall. It makes all the difference in the world.
Most of all, take time just to let the Lord know you care and thank Him for all the days He has kept you safe and held things together for you. He is wonderful and so often we look at what isn't going right and miss the true blessings. Please do continue to pray about the work on this Bible. I have not been able to find a single complete Bible in any of the First Peoples languages. But, at least the Lakota (Dakota) one is in an electronic format that can be worked with. But the stages of this are to end up with the actual printed document being placed into the hands of the people once again. I believe it will help with the written language project that many of the groups are working on- none of them I have seen have it and the couple historical groups that do will not allow anyone to even look at it!
God be with all of you!
