Happy Birthday Landon

I love when God brings people into your life to make an impact that will last forever. That is what happened when Adam and Lindsey Bricker came to Clearwater Florida. Lindsey and I were pregnant together and were both excited that we were having boys. Landon was born a year ago today. Six days after He was born, they had to do the unthinkable place their precious boy into the arms of God. I have watched them walk through this year with amazing grace and praise to the Lord. I would love for you to take the time and read her blog. http://ourhopeenduresforever.blogspot.com We realize that even in our darkest hours God's grace is enough. Thank you Adam and Lindsey for allowing us to walk this journey with you. Praying for you always!!!

Easter With Mason

We had a wonderful Easter. We were able to have some girls and guys from our Bible Study over to spend the day with us. You will see my dad was out and about. This was His first outing after His surgery. To God be the Glory for Great things He has done. He is risen just as He said!!!

Stella Dare Schank

I've been so excited about sharing this story with you. These are my precious friends Laura and Chris Schank. We met in college and share an amazing bond. Laura has been my prayer warrior and encourager. When Mason was born and I called to tell her what had happened, she dropped everything took the train all night from N.C to be with me in the hospital. She has shared some of the most difficult hours with Kevin and I. For 4 1/2 years she and Chris have tried to have a baby. They tried various avenues to have child but God continued to close all doors. I've watched both of them stay so faithful to the Lord even with life hurt so deeply. Last June they put their names in to adopt a baby. A month ago they received a call on a Monday that they would become parents that Friday. You can imagine the many emotions they felt. That Friday they became parents to a beautiful baby girl. God always has an amazing plan for our lives. Even when we don't understand why or how, He is working. What I love most about this couple is the honor and praise they gave to the Lord even when life hurt most. To think that precious Stella will now be raised in a Christian home with parents that will show her God's truth and love. I know God will use her to change the world for Him. This story is an encouragement to all of us that God is in control. Even when life seems out of control and we don't understand His plan. We do know that He loves us and when the time is right He will unfold His perfect will for our lives. I love you Stella Dare Schank!!! You are a blessed little girl and we're so excited you are here!!! Hugs and kisses!
