I have been thinking a lot about our trip to China (obviously). I am thinking that while we are there, I just want Kate and my family covered in prayer. We want God's guidance, good health, blessings, peace, and courage while we are there (and home for that matter). So I am calling on you all - my friends and family, as well as those of you I have not yet met - to pray for us. I know that some of you already are. You have sent me comments and emails telling me so. What I would like is to have at least one person/family praying for us everyday. We leave on Thursday, October 9th, and return on Thursday, October 23rd. Would you be willing to take a day to pray? Whenever we come to your mind, lift us up to the throne? If you are willing, send me an email or a comment with the day that you will pray for us. Our schedule is written on one of the sidebars on the right, so you will know where we are. I will try to post each day while we are gone so that you will know what our needs are. So, let me know what you think. I appreciate your encouragement even more than you know, and I value your prayers!
Ideas of things to pray for:
Our health, our safety, Kate's caretakers, Kate's attachment to us, the boys adjustment, the boys will travel well, my mom, patience for Tim and I, and our guides in China. I am sure I will think of more things as I go!

Hi Amy--
I'm excited for you and your family-- not much longer now! I have been on your blog a few times, but not commented. Looking forward to following your travel. A few days after meeting my daughter was the most difficult time while in China, so I will make a note to take Wed 10/15 for prayer.
Amy,
Your blog site was passed on to me a few weeks ago. I have enjoyed reading about the exciting things happening in your life. We have not had any contact since our boys were about the age of yours.
About eleven years ago a prayer chain was started for our family when we were going through a very difficult time. We were able to concentrate on our son while others were in continual intercessary prayer for us. We would be honored to be a part of this prayer chain.
Put us down for Thursday, 10/16.

Sandy!!! I am so glad you "found" us here! It has been so long since we have seen you. Give your family my love.
We would be honored to have you praying for us!!
Thank you.
You know you have my thoughts and prayers everyday, but, I will have focus on 10/22 as you prepare to leave and Kate will be leaving the familiar.

Hi Amy,
I posted this on our Church message board, and got a few replies. I'll try to copy and paste these. There may have been a little confusion by some, but the intent is there.
