2 Weeks To Go
Two more weeks... Man, the time is flying. We are reaching the final stages of our preparation. We still feel like we have about a gazillion things to do before we leave, but we're slowly getting there. We're checking things off our list and taking care of details. We've spoken to a few doctors this week about Raina's medical treatment when we return. They are beginning to develop a tentative plan for her initial care which will involve much testing before anything can be officially determined. Our anxiety level is rising as we anticipate going. Lately my new prayer has been that the Lord will grant us His peace through the difficult times that lay ahead. That we will lean on Him, and on Him only. Please pray for our family. Pray for our travel, and for our boys who will remain home while we're gone - 17 days is an excruciatingly long time to be away from them. And pray for Raina... pray for her EVERY time you think of it.
My name is Jay. I am a 37 year old guy, elated to be married to my beautiful bride of 15 years, Laura. We have two sons, Evan and Colin, who are just about the most amazing two boys that anyone, anywhere, has ever known. We have a beautiful daughter named Raina, whom we have recently adopted from China - and quite simply, she has completely lit up our world. I am a bass-playing worship leader at Parkview Christian Church who happens to earn a living as a communications technician in the mighty city of Chicago. I make a very human attempt at following my savior Jesus Christ as closely as I can, so I am therefore very thankful for His grace. He laid down His life in order to purchase mine, and gave me eternal life in exchange for my trust in Him. He has proven Himself faithful to me throughout my life, which is why I hold fast to Him.
