1. Thank God that the kids enjoyed our visit to MD and that Lydia did well with the change of scenery. Pray that she “recognizes” home today as we get back to routine and that she connects well with Mark again. She did not want to go to him last night after being away from him for a few days.
2. Pray for increased business for Jiayin Designs. The woman I am helping to run it recently found out that she is expecting! This is very exciting, but all the more reason that I’m praying the business really increases for her so that she can provide for her family well through it. We’re working on adding a few more items to the website. 
3. Thank God that we’ve seen such maturity lately in Evan. Learning to swim this summer and passing that swim test was huge for him. We have seen him grow in so many ways because of his increased confidence gained through that. We are so thankful for that.
4. I started Beth Moore’s devotional 90 Days With the One and Only. Pray for consistency in doing the devotions and for my eyes to be open to what the Lord wants to teach me through it.

If you want to join up and post requests on your blog too, let me know. I’ve figured out how to do it but want to see if there’s any interest first.

1. For me to desire to spend time with God rather than doing it to check it off my to-do list. And, for me to actually do it.       
2. For me to take full advantage of the time I have with my kids for the remainder of the summer–be intentional with my time with them so that I don’t have any regrets at the end of the summer.
3. For Lydia’s ENT appointment tomorrow to go well and give clear answers about her failed hearing test.
