Faith is home to stay
My Steelhead caught on the Grande Ronde river

Goofy lil Blessing
A pic of the Ronde coming down the Rattlesnake GradeThe most exciting news we have had for awhile-Our Girl Faith is with us full time now as we have been officially made Foster Parents. We will be trying to solidify our position with her by getting her adopted into the family. It should take several months to complete so prayer would be good.
Trust has come back from His annual fishing trip with a couple friends from college. It was a pretty good trip. Success in the fishing and good time away from work where stress has seemed to be on the increase.
IN addition we have heard from some friends we have not heard from in awhile. Congrats to M & R for the new baby boy, and hello to J.B. who does not live that far from Trust and Obey at all.
I will leave with some more of our growing band of Pilgrims. We are 6 now in total, Our Lord is so Good to us.

Better than Bonanza!
It really is...better than Bonanza...What?! you might ask. What could possibly be better than Bonanza? God. Jesus. The Holy Spirit. His mighty plan. He has a plan for all of us. It's really hard to see sometimes. Sometimes we play dumb and look around saying,"who? me?" But not this time. Nope, sometimes it's a neon sign flashing brightly before our eyes. Trust and I are entering into an amazing adventure that seems clearly set before us by God.
We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our next child! Our home is abuzz with the sounds of preparations being made...literally. We are building an addition, expanding our house so that we might expand our home. Our next child is a beautiful blue eyed blond. She's 14...occasionally boy crazy and likes to get her way, we've been told/warned. We will call her Faith.
Our Faith caught our hearts, I think, some time ago. However, during that time we didn't know it. We tried to encourage her as we watched her discover the Lord and all His blessings. We've watched her bloom slowly under the careful care and cultivation of our loving pastor and his family. We've watched as careless handling damaged our beautiful flower (not the pastor...someone else.)
Then one night, Trust looked at me and I looked at him and we knew. She's our daughter and she needs to come home with us.
Well, that's easier said than done...but not impossible. We have to become foster parents first. We have to take classes, have FBI background checks done, and fill out lots of forms. Our home will have to be approved by the State. It's all kind of a pain (mostly because we're impatient!), but, Faith is more than worth it! The Lord has placed her in our hearts. She's there to stay. No matter what she does or what she says or how she acts...she's our daughter. I hope that she knows that we will fight for her.
Mercy is 14. I think that she sincerely wants to focus on her Lord and Savior. Everything is new to her! It will be exciting to watch her grow in the love of our Lord. Trust and I are excited to bring her into our family. Her little brothers-to-be already refer to her as sister and cry when she has to leave. We want to bless her with a family who loves her unconditionally. We want to offer her a stable, loving home where she can feel safe. A place to seek refuge if she needs it.
I'm tired. It's very late. I have babbled on long enough.
Good night and God bless
