some news...

Well, a lot has happened since I last posted. Nick has moved to a wonderful home with a full-time stay-at-home mommy and a really nice dad. There are no other kids in the home right now as they are in their late 50s or so. It is gonna be great for him to have so much one-on-one attention!

I do have one prayer request, though. Jennifer Poorman and I are in the process of beginning a new ministry at the church. It is an adoption and foster parenting support ministry. This will eventually entail more than just "gripe" meetings. We pray that there will be opportunities for foster families to receive their continuing education hours, networking resources, help with the legal system, an adoption fund and so much more.

The Elders are in the process of reviewing the information we have provided. The Poormans and Joshua and myself are meeting with the Elder Board on Tuesday, March 24th. Please keep us in your prayers that our passion and vision would shine through and that we would have clarity of speech. Thank you!

I would ask that you not spread this yet. If you manage to read my blog I think you are a close enough friend to actually pray and wait until we have the green light to pursue this further. I love you, my dear friends. Thanks for "listening" and praying!!!
