Climbers are summitting
As I write this our group of Kilimanjaro climbers are making their ascent to the highest peak in Africa. They started out at 6PM tonight, Friday (1:00AM Saturday their time). It should take them approximately 6 hours to reach the summit (1:00AM Saturday in Atlanta), and they will hopefully see the sunrise. Catherine and Abby's youngest sister, Liza, was fortuante to talk briefly (the call was lost) on Thursday to Catherine to find out they could see their breath inside their tent and they were very cold. I personally thank everyone for praying for the climbers since 2 of my 3 daughters are partaking in this adventure. Liza found this verse which she wishes the group could see to encourage them as they climb. Their climb will consist of 13 hours for Saturday alone. Romans 5: 4-5, "we also rejoice in our sufferings, becuase we know that suffering produces perseverance, character and hope. And hope does not disapoint us, becuase God has poured out his love into our hears by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."

Thank you, Father, and Cathy and all those who got word to us about our climbers. I have been praying so much - truly our hope In Him will never disappoint us - last night seemed to be a time of heavenly warfare as there was an incredible lightning storm up here over the mts and lakes of the Clayton area - horizontal bursts in which you could see the "leading edges" shoot through the sky - this is the Hebrew year of the Clashing swords and it seemed the heavens were declaring this - our hearts poured out praises to our victorious God who is giving all of us, especially our climbers, the power to persevere and overcome as they climb during the night watches to greet the dawn - what a picture of our spiritual lives. We're still singing with you, How Great is Our God. Amen+
