Kneeds

wHat is lovE mISsions 

"LOVE GOD with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself."

The Torrans Tablet

When I was a child, I got down on my knees to pray.  When I became an adult, I lost some of that faith.  When I think about it, I think I miss that childhood belief. So I just tried it. So, yeah, I got down on my knees. So nervous, I felt.

Nervous about bowing before a Holy GOD.  Nervous about it having been so long.  And nervous about wanting to do it again. You see, I used to pour out my heart to JESUS about everything. You know, I started to wonder why HE let such bad things happen in this world. You too?

Now I find it easier to pray for others. Now I ask GOD to help you, and I mean it.  Now I want HIS Will, and am a little afraid to ask for mine. I have had enough of my prayers go wrong. I have seen what I wanted go up in smoke.  I have felt myself not be good enough to be bold before the one and only GOD.

But I have needs. I am trying to pray about them. I ask you to please do the same:

We need our cars to stay fixed and be safe for our babies to ride in.  Please pray they will not break down again when we are driving to doctor appointments, work, and in snowy weather.

We need money for medical bills, vehicles, and emergencies. Please pray that GOD will provide.

We need our tiny condo to sell so we can have room for our family of four. Please pray the right people will be prepared.

We need our one year old Michael to improve through physical therapy and our two month old Jonathan to grow healthy.  Please pray they will not have any more set backs.

Email me your "kneeds", and I will pray for them. And we will see our FATHER answer. And not because we are on our knees or not, but because HE understands the kneeds of our heart. 

Thank You from Joey, Amy, Mikey and Jonny Torrans.

Missionaries to the needy.

That is all of us.
