Dear Friends,
Anne first came to church several months ago. She, Pauline, and Maria all live in the same apartment building, where Anne shares a tiny room with her two children. She usually works six days a week, and as a single mom she struggles to nurture and single-handedly support her family. Sarah, her almost-3-year-old, is our Hannah's "best friend." In other words, Hannah kisses her, hugs her, pats her, beats her, and chases her, all the time squealing with delight even as Sarah runs in terror from our well-meaning, over-excited daughter.
As we try to teach Hannah social skills, we've been trying to love Anne and her family into a relationship with Christ. She has been studying the Bible with Pauline and has been considering committing her life to Christ in baptism for a long time. She was baptized Sunday, and we are thrilled. We have seen the change in her so gradually, and I admit that it always amazes me to see God working in a person's life. In the beginning, she was tired, untrusting, and bitter about her husband's leaving them two years ago. Now she glows with hope and new trust in God.
A few weeks ago, her husband came back to town and seems willing to "try again." This is new territory for her, and she is a little wary, but she says she is trying to take "one day at a time" and "leave it all to the Lord." She desperately wants her two daughters to have a father. Please pray for her as she gives her life to the Lord and pray for her marriage. Pray especially that God will move in her husband's life so that they can be united in Him.
Love,
Diane Reese, with Marcus and Hannah
Marcus with Anne
