Fires

I am sure that everyone knows someone who is affected by the fires in Southern California. I know a few people. Thankfully, my sister Rachel and her husband just missed the boundary where people had to evacuate their homes by only a few blocks. They are just close enough to town that they got to stay at home despite all the smoke in the air. However, all of Stephen's family have been evacuated from their homes. I haven't heard an update on if their homes have been damaged or if they were just evacuated out of precaution. I read today that the winds are dying down so that is positive. But there are still many people who will now be without homes in the area. Please remember them and let's pray that this fire is contained soon.

God bless prune juice

This stuff has worked miracles in my son's life. He has been backed up for nearly a year, struggling to be regular. It finally got to the point where he refused to eat fiber-rich foods and juices and hadn't gone poo for one whole week. So Mom decided it was time to intervene. I made him drink the prune juice. He didn't want to, but I kept at it until one whole cup was gone. The next day when he was trying to hold his bowel movement in, he couldn't any longer and out came a weeks worth size of waste. And the next day he drank another glass and the same thing happened. I just want to say I am so thankful God made prune juice. It has made a difference in my family's life.

4 years ago today

It all started here four years ago today. We were so young, so naive, so excited for the adventure of life to begin. We believe God brought us here and we are so glad that He did. I am so grateful for all the relationships and friends and people who have become like family to me. I am so excited for the story to continue being told. I am so happy to call this place and the people here my home.
