My mind is all consumed with my brother's wedding recently. I think I am coming alive again after my winter hibernation and realizing that there are only two months left and I have two flower girl dresses to make and a wedding cake!
This last weekend I did manage to pretty much finish my dress. Still a little hand sewing that needs to be done, but pretty well done. Now on to smaller and better things. I am sewing the dresses for my nieces to wear. So looking forward to seeing them in this wedding! They are three and five and are the same size and a lot of people mistake them for each other in pictures. I think they'll be adorable little girls in their cream-colored princess dresses.
The material is laying out all over my sewing machine at the moment, just waiting to be cut. I just wish that I could make a dress for each of my nieces for this wedding. It is so much fun to make them feel like little princesses! And of course, those are fun clothes to sew too. ;)

Course Work
I'm working on the doctrine course right now. Still, I should say. It is hard to be so close to the end of our major projects and have this one lag on forever.
We have begun to make some progress on it. A lot of it is two steps forward three steps back at this point as everything has to be checked and re-checked for accuracy. The main progress that has been made is that I have recruited some help from my mom and Andre, a Ukrainian acquaintance, who just happens to teach in Bible colleges on some of these topics.
Please pray that Andre will be able to help us in a significant way with this course. I am too physically and mentally exhausted at this point to do any real work on it and mum has plenty of other work that she needs to be doing. After he works on the lessons, I will still have to review them and edit them, write the exams and the course guide; so, there is still plenty of work for me, even with delegating some of it.
Pray that Andre is able to come here to Rivne tomorrow to meet up and discuss this project. I am really not up to going to Kyiv. Spring has been delayed here and it seems that affects my health a lot and my ability to pull out of this chronic fatigue down cycle. Consequently, I am struggling to even get out of my own apartment, let alone to Kyiv. Unfortunately, Andre has some back problems, so he needs prayer for healing too!
It is an answer to prayer that God brought Andre to mind and that he is willing and interested to help with this project.

Pray for India
I thought I'd pass on this disturbing prayer request from my friends in India:
This morning I attended a pastors' prayer meeting. Some of the pastors shared that they just recently became aware that as part of Kali Puja, humans are being sacrificed here in Siliguri. They also said that sometimes before commencing large construction projects, humans (mostly children) are being sacrificed. They're pretty sure that these things are taking place in the Kali Temple in the market in the center of town. Please join with us in praying that this murderous idolatry will stop and that those involved will repent.
