So, I am going to give it another shot and try to keep up. :O)
Lately, things have been going very well other then Chris being sick and now we need to have a (GI) Gastro Intestinal specialist see him. For some reason he can't seem to keep his food down at times. At night, he will awaken 2+ times and throw it up. His Dr. has ordered blood work, and a CT scan and they came back normal. He prescribed Zantac and now Prilosec but to no avail - it only worsens the situation. Chris has lost about 20 lbs. and through it all has remained a delight to be around! What an amazing young man he is becoming! I see him growing in the Lord and it fills my heart until it wants to burst!!
My other son Daniel is doing well. He too is growing in the Lord and his questions (and answers) at times truly amazes me! He truly is wanting to live according to God's will and his heart is full of love and compassion for the lost. He is at the present very interested in the two men from the Travel the Road series. ( traveltheroad.com ) For those who haven't seen or know about them - they are awesome!! To be alongside them as they are in their missionary work and to see how the Lord moves is awe inspiring.) D has said that he might be inclined to head in that direction ( at this age ) so that in itself blesses me!!
Now, Naomi - she continually blesses me each night when we pray and I hear her prayers!! (Knock me down with a feather.) The words that flow from her mouth are so beautiful! And to think that I have front row seats to it all!! I am truly blessed.... although I have to step back and wonder, " Where does her attitude come from?" Ha- ha!! She has been praying about her attitude towards her brother Daniel so that is a plus! But through it all who's room does she end up in when Chris is staying overnight somewhere - Daniel's.......? Hee-hee, was I the same way? :O)
As for the hubby and I - we are good.... our walk with the Lord continues to grow and we are truly blessed with where the Lord has us right now... the Church family, our Pastor, the soon to be move-in ready church building!! We are so excited with the what the Lord has been doing in our church family! We have really grown closer and the up and coming ministries are wonderful..... Dinner for Six has been terrific!! When we hosted the first one with our group - it was such a blessing to get to know others in a more intimate setting!! What makes it even better is the food!! Food always makes everything better.... We served bar-b-que ( chicken, beef fajitas, pork steak, sausage) Juana brought potato salad, Oyuky/Victor brought corn on the cob, Stacie/Troy brought the most delicious cake!! When I get the recipe - I will definitely pass it on!! It had chocolate everything on it with caramel and crunchie stuff and uhhhhh.... it was rich but it was not too sweet as crazy as that sounds!! ( I really like this cake!! - Can you tell? )
Little Daniel made an interesting comment to my hubby and I the other day. He said he would be very sad if we ever had to leave this church. ----- wow!
Blessings to you and yours!!!

Welcome back! It is good to hear all the updates on everyone and I agree with little D - I would be sad if you ever had to leave this church! We miss you guys, but love to hear how the Lord is working, especially in the lives of the children. Love you!
How cool! Yours is not the only kid in the church who has expressed a strong opinion about not wanting to leave this church. A few parents have told me stories.
