Today I sat with Ali* who has had some tough weeks. When she has tough weeks, everyone has tough weeks--staff, residents and her children. She struggles so badly with seeing who she is in Christ. She struggles with seeing the change in her life and believing that God really can renew and remake her.

Please pray specially for her this week. She's a tired, single mom. She is ashamed that her children have to grow up with a single mom, afraid of what they will think of her. There is so much going on within her. Please pray that God will minister His rest to her today.

Please pray also for Leah*. Her baby is not due until the first week of May, but wanting to come now. She is in the hospital on bed rest. Pray that the baby comes at the right time, strong and healthy.

God is making something beautiful of these women.
