I just recieved this email from Sonja, going to South Africa.

"God has given my family quite a shake. About two weeks ago, my step-dad had a heart attack and died.

He has been married to my mom for eleven years and I have grown up with him being more of a dad than my biological father. It was completely unexpected and both my mom and I have hurting quite a bit.

I know God has a plan and that it will be ok, but we need all the prayer we can get right now. Thank you and God bless, Sonja

Please post your encouragement to her: words, verses, prayers, whatever God leads.  This is a time to lift one of our family members up.
