Hi! I just wanted to let you all know that we are praying for you and still miss you desperately! I can’t believe how much the girls have grown. They have really matured, and Naomi looks like she is nothing but fun…such a mischievous little grin! We were discussing destiny in our ladies Bible Study this week, and how often we assume that when God calls us to something, He will open the doors for us and it will come easily. Many times, that is not the case, because He wants to show His glory. I am praying that your family is united soon.
