Please pray for our friends who are keeping Jumoke this month. The mother is apprehensive but excited as well, I think. I'm hoping two opposite things...maybe three.
That Jumoke will show his stuff right away in a big way and that the family will be able to handle it alright.
That Jumoke has nothing to show because we let small things grow too big in our minds. (Even as I type that, I think "Wow, Umeme! You are the most stubborn person I've ever met when it comes to facing a truth you don't want to face!" Still...)
That Jumoke goes easy on the family because he "matches" their family better than he "matches" ours.
Please pray for me/us as well as I/we begin to separate our hearts a bit from Jumoke and I/we begin to learn to live without the tension and disruptions during the next few weeks.
And pray for Jumoke. I don't think he cares enough about anyone here to need to separate his heart, but this is the only place that he remembers as "home". I don't care what kind of issues you have, home is a grand place, and it's horrifically hard losing that sense of home. |
