Keep the prayers coming

We have really been encouraged by so many emails and phone calls letting us know you're praying for us and wanting to know how we're doing. Your communications are an affirmation that we are walking this journey of life together, supporting one another. Thank you.

The biggest answer to your prayers is our health. We're all doing much better and have no concerns beyond the common cold (spring arrived on Thursday, and we're hoping for warmer days).

Please pray for safety for Ryan and his co-worker, Cesar, as they are on a plane to Montevideo, Uruguay and will be there until Saturday, Oct. 3rd. They're attending a conference on a planning and evaluation methodology that Ryan is really excited about, called outcome mapping.

The kids and I are heading into our last week of school before spring break, and counting down the days until Ganni and Papa arrive. Ryan's parents, Jerry and Linda, arrive next Saturday and we can't wait!

"Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
...
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love."
Psalm 105:2-5, 8
