Summary

If asked to summarize my time here in one word, I've been thinking what that would be. The first one would be grace. The other (more human) terms might be lengthy, or fearful. But if I could do it in one verse, I would select this stanza:
Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come;
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home.

If you haven't yet, please you-tube Phillips, Craig and Dean, "His Grace Still Amazes Me."

Yours because of His infinite, matchless grace,
Chris

Just praying for you both this very moment. May our gracious Father be granting you both with some much needed rest from the tough last few days. Your words of faithfulness never seize to amaze me! I listened to the song again by Phillips, Craig, and Dean and my heart was filled with awe at how truly amazing and powerful our awesome God is and I can see why this song is so near to your heart.

We are planning on picking up and taking Bethy home from Awana on Wednesdays until your return, so hopefully that will save Lauren a few trips since we are already headed there! We should have been doing that a long time ago! And my parents are getting all their stuff ready to head to Israel. We were talking about it tonight and they are looking forward to it despite the chaos going on there right now. I know they will be missing you though!

We continue to pray for God's hand of healing on you as you continue to walk through this trial and tribulation. And we continue to pray for many special moments between you and Eunice. We love you both dearly and continue to miss your presence greatly!

With much love and prayers,
Gabby (for Joel and I)

Wow...words can not express, the song I just listened to. God is in your presence and what an awesome God we have. I pray for you both everyday, and that each day is one day closer to come home. I miss you and love you both. Your girls are wonderful.
Lauren is such a joy to work with and to have as a good friend. She is like the best friend I never had.
I will continue praying for you each and everyday, that you will be blessed with good news. God is here with you in your presence and will walk with you every step of the way.
God Bless
Love you always
