Quite a week

God is good, all of the time, its more than a phrase, its the truth.

This week has brought great distress to me, to Ellen.  This week we discovered that some of the funds we paid through trusted channels were not used to pay actual bills but were stolen and misused.  That discovery really hit Ellen hard as these were people she trusted, they would hand receipts to her for paid accounts but the receipts were faked.  She discovered that she actually owed thousands of dollars when we had been told everything was up to date and paid.  It was a very hard hit and almost tore us apart.  Yet after she took in the hard hit she began to think about what she could do.  She knew I did not have more money to replace what had just been paid in good faith.  So she is working on selling some land that she owns in a tribal area in Ghana to raise funds.  This girl never gives up, I am so proud of her for her courage and positive attitude.

The week has been tough because all week no money came in the mails but today several checks finally came, one report that was paid for was 3 months old, why do they wait so long to pay?  Its sure hard to live with.  But I am so thankful that today funds did come in.

My health has been bad this week, constant coughing, lungs rattling, just not a great week in any way.  Was great to see my long time friend Roxanna this morning, she just popped in and we have a great talk like we always do.

So tomorrow morning is one of Keanna's last soccer games at 9 am.  Hope the weather holds for the game.

Sending love to all tonight and seeking your prayers for God's guidance and that He might recover some of the money stolen from us in such an awful way.

Love

Tim
