Well, I am so sorry that I was not able to update these everyday. I really had all good intentions and then time just got away from me. I pray that you and I will be able to use this list (and the ones from my previous posts) to spend this next month consecutively praying for our children in these specific areas. I have prayed for Keane and Gracie in these areas most days this month and it has been so neat to see how my God brings so many other things to mind to pray for them about through these initial prayers each day. My friend Shannon also commented and gave me a link for where to find the original list of prayers so you can print the entire sheet out if you want. Click here to find the list. I hope you all are doing well. Here is day 14- day 31....
