Last week was so busy i'm sorry i didn't even get a chance to post a schedule!
This week is so busy it's nearly over, but yes RAVEN team, we will be hitting the streets tomorrow night across the city.
Please gather at our home at 4:30ish for beans and cornbread dinner and dessert.
School is back and the girls have to be at school at 7am now... so early... volleyball started and lots of band practice... so we will eat early and head out early!

Please pray for Pastor  Rudy, he is slowly but surely recovering from a hit with the flu... ICK!
And please pray covering over all of the girls friends and other families who have the flu at school and across the city.  It's hitting hard right now, but praise GOD we are healed!

There have been many emails and voicemails asking for prayer~
from mothers with babies
from mothers with toddlers
from families with generations who are hungry
from raven team members who want to go to mardi gras across the nations and locally
so, please, if you are able to comfort someone, do it; if you are able to pray for someone, do it; if you are able to feed someone, do it; if you are able to send someone, do it.  Don't miss out!
so many to pray for, so many to lift up!
be the change everyone wants to see by not hiding out and staying home!
GO and preach it!
LOVE one another!
Do not grow weary!
I know we are all sooooooo busy...
My drier is broken, the laundry is stacking up, my husband is sick and the kids have a lot going on... but GOD has it all covered!
