- Romans 5:3-4

Prayers Needed....
This week... 

• For us to stay open minded as we attend the TDM meeting
  
• For us to wisely discern what is best for the kids
  
• For us to continue to keep the rest of our lives in work and ministry going in a healthy, fulfilling, and meaningful way in spite of the foster/adoption emotional set-backs
  
• To release the anxiety and frustration of the foster/adoption system for the sake of the ourselves, but especially the kids

We attended the Long Beach Rescue Mission Silent Auction/Fund Raising Dinner where our dear friend Noel Leverenz was recognized for his company, Millennium Building Services, redoing the rescue mission's bathrooms in addition to many other contributions.
