It is simply awesome to sit here at home after my first speaking engagement and here the encouragement that people have felt through God's story through us. It is also an amazing thing to here how others feel like they too can tell their stories of Faith and God's work in there lives. I am truly blessed to be called by Him to do His work.
A little update on the family.
Kasi is doing amazing!! She has been through school for a full week plus part of this one. She stills get tired, but over all is loving life.
Aubree is playing soccer and trying to get her mind back into the swing of soccer. I know that she has had a really hard time with all the stuff we have been through as a family and she has processed it all very well. God is doing things in her heart too through all of this. She knows that her soccer is a gift from Him and she is starting to focus on playing for him all the time. She too gets distracted by life and how it all fits together, but I can't say I blame her....she is 12. I have to remind myself how old both girls are because they are both mature beyond their years. Not only in life, but spiritual maturity. I am so blessed to see God at work in there life and see how they respond to His call to them.
The boys are doing really well! They both have had their eyes checked now and believe it or not it is NOT because of drugs in their system when they were born. It is heredity! Yep a genetic thing that they will monitor and help in anyway they can. Sometimes they can have a patch and sometimes surgery or glasses. Ben did get put in glasses this week which he loves. It helps him see and focus. He is so proud to be like his dad with his glasses too. All he wanted was for his dad to like them. So very good to see too. Nathan will be watched for a while with Ben. I pray that this is something that they learn to cope with and it doesn't cause any learning problems. We also pray for their brother who is with their birth mom. The chances of him having this is great and hopefully he too will go to a specialist to determine if he does and gets the proper care. We pray for him regularly, daily, actually several times a day. God is good and holds him and grows him too! We pray that he will grow up knowing our Savior and know about his brothers who love him very much.
I am filled with joy over the fact that now only is God using this journey He has us on, but He is growing all of us up in Him. I am so blessed!
Praise be to God the author and perfecter of our faith!
