Up up and away

Lawrence has been itching to get on a plane and fly over an ocean. He is getting this opportunity on the 26th of October. He is flying to the Philippines with his brother Sherwin. Sherwin is being deported.

Coincidentally, AKA providentially, our business is at a point where I just thought Lawrence needed to go to the Philippines to usher us into our next phase. Lots of paperwork, lease, etc... needs doing. Lawrence mentioned wanting to go to the Philippines the day I realized he needed to go for the business. He broached the subject cautiously and much to Lawrence's relief, thanks to the Lords prompting I was on board.

A whole week without Lawrence coming home at night is barrelling toward me. I am feeling the awesomeness of a weeks length right now. We have such a full schedule, it is just so daunting to not have Lawrence coming home, and 2 Saturdays, 1 Sunday, not counting the Sunday Lawrence will need to rest from his trip... here's to hoping the flight, like his long commute is the rest he needs:-o I wish I was joking.

Lot's of prayer coverage needed for us.

For those of you who don't know. We have a drafting business. Please pray for Gods best with this business. If it is to be, it will be full of blessings that will overflow and bless all that come into contact with it, employees, clients, and anyone in between. This business can only succeed if the Lord blesses it, and we want to be in the center of His will. Please pray doors clearly close or clearly swing open. Pray for Lawrence to have wisdom and discernment as he interviews and meets with architect schools to create relationships.

Please pray for Lawrence's safety, and also for Sherwin. This is a new beginning, and pretty scary. He moved to the US in 7th grade and before that lived in Papua New Guinea. He was born in the Philippines, but hasn't' been back since leaving as a young child. I don't know how old, but Lawrence left in 2nd grade to move to PNG, Sherwin stayed till he was 5 I think, with his Nanai(sp?)Grandma, before moving to PNG to join his parents.
