Ana Maria



I visited with Ana Maria, above, this past Wednesday after kids club. While all the girls are precious, Ana Maria is one of my favorites. I have written about her before--she has 8 other brothers and sisters. The picture above is taken after the Christmas Drama with four of her brothers.

The reason I am writing this post is to please be praying for Ana Maria. During our visit I learned that her dad was biten by one of their dogs last week Saturday. This dog is HUGE-- seriously. It's head is probably bigger than yours. The dog bit her dad in the leg all the way to the bone and is not able to work right now being hurt. Please pray for healing for her dad and provision for all her family needs during this time.

I also learned that one of her aunts lived with her family in their house and was seven months pregnant. Last week, her aunt was having a hard time breathing and the baby was having problems also. Her aunt had to deliver two months earlier and will be in the hospital for a couple weeks as will the baby be in the hospital for two months until it is more fully developed and weighs more.

Please be praying for Ana Maria as she takes on a big responsibity to care for her younger brothers and sisters. Please pray for peace as she worries about her family and for provision. Pray that Ana Maria grows in her relationship with the Lord and is set apart in her family to lead a different life than what is around her. That her family would notice something different about her and that they would come to our church this year. Please pray that she would know and experience joy in her life.
