A heart for the nations!


God has truly stirred our hearts for what He is doing in the nations.  I have been convicted that when He puts a place on our hearts to pray for I should have some idea of where it is.  Needless to say, I should have paid more attention in geography class.  Well, homeschooling is my redemption.  I now can learn with my children all the places in the world.  Last week I purchased a children's world curriculum.  It didn't have an age on it, but I thought it can't be too hard.  Kooper and I set down to play the CD ROM part of it this afternoon and we were 0-7 in answering the questions.  We decided we should start with the puzzle and the rest of the curriculum.  The kids (mainly Kooper) did a great job with a very hard puzzle and then it was so awesome to hear him telling them the countries and our friends that live in or are moving to them.  Then Sutton breaks out praying for the children of Africa who don't have clean drinking water and they were all interceding for the nations without adult guidance.  Lord, thank you that you tell us the nations are but a drop in a bucket to you; because they seem so big to me.  

Isaiah 40:15  Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales; he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.
