BRING IT ON!!!!!!
AS you know from several previous posts, we have been praying, claiming, and believing Todd will bring Jonas home with him at the end of September. We know in the physical world there are a lot of hurtles involved. And we know in the spiritual world there is a battle going on for all our files in Haiti.
Over the past few months we have been praying everyday for Jonas' files to be released and finished. Even when I was in the hospital recently, I was praying lying in my hospital bed. Todd and I have NOT given up and continue to believe God hears our prayers. And even when it seems nothing is happening, or we don't get any updates from Haiti, we KNOW God is still working.
Well, we are under some serious spiritual attacks. Some I can share, others I am not. Mostly the attacks have been aimed at me. My health is not good. My recent trip to the hospital and 4 weeks have gone by and I am still sick with a cough that won't go away. My doctor fears it could be Whooping Cough. Today I am home again, another day off work, because my body can't cope with the demand of energy it takes to do my job.
Why is he concentrating on me? Well I am ashamed to admit that in the past this was the easiest way to get me in a sour mood and a mood of not believing. When I don't feel well, all hell breaks loose in my brain. And remember as one thinks so one speaks. And this would cause great havoc in our household. Remember the old saying, "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy?"
HOWEVER, over the past several months Todd and I have been growing by leaps and bounds in our faith. Our new church is an integral part of this. So as badly as I have felt, I have pushed thru most days at work, given glory to God and stayed the course with my prayers. Even my girls have noticed a difference. (that says alot because they miss NOTHING)
I have learned that half the battle is just praising God, even in the hard times. Even when we don't see an answer. Praise sets a heart on the things of God. We have praise music playing all the time at our house, and boy what a difference it makes.
Well, now satan has realized he is not changing my attitude, he is now advanced on my children. Two of them are home sick today. AND a hurricane is heading for Haiti right now as I type this.
Now I am pissed!!!!!
I am a momma lion who will do anything to protect her young!
I rebuke you satan in the name of Jesus!!!! You have no power or authority over me or my family, including Jonas & Ellie! I rebuke your hold on our Haitian files and children, on my entire family's health, finances, and property . Not by my power, but by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ who died for my sins! We stand FIRM on the rock of Christ. Be gone!!!!
Heavenly father please send your angels to guard over my family and please lay your healing hand upon our bodies and restore our health. Please send your angels to the orphanage in Haiti to be a barrier from the storms. Thank you for your unfailing love! And let us always remember to give you the praise. I bless your name and shout hallelujah! Amen.
I need your help:
We need back up prayers to hold us up and stay the course in all of this. And if you have any scripture versus that this post has brought to mind for you, please feel free to share them! Thank you all for your support and love to me and my family! Jonas IS coming home!
Hugs, Kristina

Thinking of you :)
I have been thinking the same thing for both your family & mine. He's trying to give us a run for our money but he's NOT going to win! I stand with you sister!!! They are coming home at the end of September!!!
continuing in prayer with you, friend!
keep praying and believing...we are praying with you:)
Lisa & Chris
Two things come to mind:
1. A friend recently said she did a 180 with her thinking regarding trials. She said she started thanking God for choosing her, for thinking she was strong enough to handle it and praise Him on the other end. Why didn't I think of that?!
2. Since my college days, I've loved U2 and I love Psalm 40.
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
James 1:2-4
Standing with you in prayer!
He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes. Deut. 10:21
For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psa 57:10
Now if we are children, then we are heirs–heirs of God and co‑heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8:17
For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. Romans 8:24-26
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corin 9:8
Praying for you.
Kristina, As soon as I saw the news on Gustave my mind went straight to you, Ellie and Jonas!! I'm praying for protection over your children and all the people in Hatti~ As you know Louisiana has called for a state of emergency here and people are really frantic. I somehow remain calm because I know God will have His hand on us and He will guide us where we need to be!

All I know, is Satan needs to get over himself!
May the Lord bring your son home to his family SOON! He is no less safe there in a hurricane than in your family room- with the Lord as his Protector! Joshua 1:8-9
Praying for you...love ya, sis.
I'm cracking up at Sarah's comment!
Wow you are getting so close...the heat is being turned up! I can't wait to meet Jonas!
We need to get together in the next month or so. I had the baby, Solomon :), and we are still getting settled in our house. As soon as things settle for us, they will probably be picking up for you guys with the arrival of Jonas.
Oh, well...such is life. We will just have to get together through the chaos anyway! :)
Maybe it wasn't Satan, maybe the kids just caught a virus?
