Basketball...Tennis...Baseball




I can hardly believe it...how does time go by so fast, yet we still have no referral?Our original intentions were to post once a month until we got closer to our referral.We have been attending basketball games through February, and now tennis for Andrew and baseball for Jason. I find myself doing double takes to be sure that these handsome, smart men are my sons. For those of you who know me, you know that there is not an atheletic bone in my body. I have become the epitome of "sports mom." Now for those of you who know Mark, realize these athletic abilities are soley from his gene pool. His favorite pastime is to coach the boys from the bench... fence... or bleachers and do so loudly!! We are having a great time, but I'm painfully aware that the clock is ticking. The longer we wait for a referral, the less time we have to spend as a family of five. This thought has really been weighing heavily on my heart lately. Jason will soon be a Junior, and Andrew a Sophomore.
As I "sit, soak, and sour," I realize a powerful truth. I know with all of my heart that the footsteps of my boys are ordered by the Lord. I pray for it daily and speak it over them. So this morning in church, it occured to me that our daughters footsteps are ordered by the Lord as well. By faith I know that soon those little footsteps will lead her straight to us!
Please remember to call out our names in prayer.
With much love,
Cindy (for mark, Jason & Andrew)
