After church we went to Adam and Jodi's house for Adam's birthday. We had fun and are looking forward to getting to know them more. Aidan played in the water and on the trampoline and loved it.
Cyndi Sue, I was doing a little reflecting on my parenting years. Of how I always thought that I could protect you from anything. If I thought my kids were in danger or fear of anything, something would rise up from deep within and I had all the confidence in the world that I could protect you from whatever the situation. I know now that it was a false confidence. That really we are in control of very little. We can not trust in ourselves but we must gain our confidence from being a child of the King. My heart aches so much for you. I wish that I could take this from you, protect you, and chase off the bullies but this time I can't. It's so frustrating, as a father, to be absolutly powerless. My little girl is hurting and scared and I can't make it go away. We can only trust in the Lord and His faithfulness. Read Psalm 146!!!!!!!!!!! I love you sooooooo much. Dad
I am starting this blog because so many of you are concerned and wanting every single detail of what is going on. It has been so hard to try to keep everyone updated, actually it has been impossible! So this way everyone can stay up to date. We want to be able to share updates on my progress, but mostly we want to share with you our blessings and joys.
His peace that passes all understanding continues to and always will carry us through all of the difficult things that we have to walk through.
Thank you for you heartfelt prayers, concern, thoughts and love. Through your amazing support we know how loved we truly are. I sit here with tears in my eyes and can’t even begin to express how much each of you mean to us and how special and taken care of you make us feel.
Please, please leave comments and let us know you were here - even if I personally don't know you yet. I may not be able to get back to you, but it means so much to know you were here and that you care!
