Please Lord, let one marriage be impacted by this book, I prayed as I typed away writing We All Married Idiots: Three Things You Will Never Change About Your Marriage and Ten Things You Can.
If just one marriage is helped, all this work will be worth it. I cried (literally) as I bared my soul and my marriage troubles for all the world to read. And, indeed, the world is reading. Little did I know the plans God had for We All Married Idiots would be greater than I ever asked or imagined.
When International Workers (IW's) in Bosnia Herzegovina (BiH) asked permission to translate We All Married Idiots into their language, my publisher and I didn't hesitate to give them the go ahead. There are few books on marriage available in the BiH language, and the IW's saw We All Married Idiots as a ministry tool. They were right in their assessment. And didn't they choose an amazing cover!
Soon the invitation came for my husband Dan and I to come to Bosnia Herzegovina for two weeks of book promotion and marriage seminars. We leave March 9. Our schedule is packed with opportunities as we lead a marriage retreat for BiH church leaders, speak in churches, and teach
at Mostar Bible School. Booksigning and speaking events are also planned in community centers where the target audience is secular.
Thank you to all who have encouraged and prayed for me for many years. You are dear to my heart.
If ever I need prayer, I feel it is now.
Please pray as Dan and I speak many times over two weeks.
Pray for our health and safety.
Pray for BiH marriages.
Pray we will have wisdom to counsel and connect with BiH couples despite the cultural and language barriers.
Thank you to all who travel my journey with me.
To those who dream big dreams, don't give up. Don't grow weary. Keep writing and impacting the world for Christ.
May God give splashes of serenity to the marriages in Bosnia Herzegovina, I pray,

"Now all glory to God,
Who is able,
through His mighty power at work within us,
to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."

I pray that you will have the health, strength, and stamina to accomplish all the LORD has planned for you, and to be able to fully participate in the unexpected changes to YOUR schedule with CHEERFULNESS, knowing Who really makes the schedules!
ReplyDeleteI have just returned from a two week trip to visit friends in India, this was my prayer before I left, and while I was gone.
India! How exciting. I love your prayer and thank you for praying for me. Blessings to you as you serve Him.
