Day 269 - March 10 - Where are we going?
Tonight the four of us - Connor, Joélle, Cherié and I - sat and talked about what ConnorWatch is going to look like in the future. We started the discussion because we recognize that the purpose of CW and the blog is morphing from simply a place where folks can easily check up on the boy into something else - just what, we're not completely sure! But it's no longer just a "check up on Connor" site, and we were praying and talking about what that meant.
It was a beneficial and enlightening time for Cherié and I, as both of our kids talked about the various forms of ministry and mission they see this community performing in the future. While we weren't "all in one accord" about every item, it was such a joy to hear them speak about furthering their education in order to be better equipped for ministry, and watch them kick ideas around about how best to be the hands and feet of Christ to their world. Very much of a blessing.
My request for you tonight would be that you would be praying for the Holy Spirit's leading in our lives, and that God would be speaking clearly to us as we seek to do His will with the things He has made available to us.
I would also ask that you be in prayer about how you might reach into your community to be Christ to them in the place where you are. Whether that's a hospital or orphanage or homeless shelter or whatever, I pray that God will be leading each of you out of your comfort zones and into a place of obedient service to your Jerusalem (Acts 1:8).

My Friends,
I continue to think about you each day, I wear the red bracelet for a gentle reminder that "it's not all about me".
As you speak of reaching out to the community I just finished a Bible study with my Monday group about worldviews. And we talk just about this subject, of reaching out, it should be something that we all do. I hope that your words will inspire people, it's so important, especially in these times to show people that there is hope, Jesus!
As always,
Michawn
I'll be praying that you find where God is leading you. As I read your blog this morning I felt my spirit connecting, as that too is the prayer of this mother's heart. I want my children to know God's will and to fulfill His purpose for them and for us, their parents.
God bless you all.
Just know that wherever this blog takes you, we are on the journey with you.

Thanks so much for continuing to post how your family is doing. We've never met, but I feel like I know you all. I pray for your family and hope your will keep us all up to date on how Connor is progressing.
With love from Oregon,

Thank you for your thought-provoking prompt which echoed one that a co-worker said to me today. She said that people who had specific skills to share and the finances to do it should be out volunteering more than they do. It really hit home b/c I am usually happy to pay for someone to go on a "missions trip" but haven't done it myself. Pray for me and others who need that extra "nudge".
We continue to pray for your family as a whole, Connor personally and your global ministry to many! May God bless it.
