Football,Volleyball, Hockey, Moving..what else!
I was able to meet my brothers birth mom from Korea and that was a treat. She is a believer in our Lord.
After, I saw Mom and Dad last weekend, and other than Dad moving slow except when he was in the grocery store in his go cart....all was well. It was a retreat!
Kids missed me and tackled the car when I got home. Chris had a bonfire going for us!
3 Boys are playing football in full gear...got to get those pads in the right pants, in the right direction, in the right size! Chris coaches Jonathan's team, and we walk James & Andre up to their practice....
Katya got signed up to try out for volleyball JUST IN TIME! 6 hours x 2! And fall AAA hockey is in swing....tourny this weekend and the next for 2 kiddo's.
Let's just move the rest of our STUFF out of the old house and have a closing just to make it more interesting, oh, and Chris' work picnic Wed, and I think that's about it!
One of our girls is acting out a bit, but I need to sit with her and read or snuggle and we'll pull it around, I guess what can I expect with 2 busy days back to back.
Oh yeah..and one footall boy drank too many fluids and missed the toilet so I accidently stepped in it..he cleaned it up and I showered so all is fine now! Ugh, not as bad as some stories though!
Thanks for your prayers and un answered phone calls! We look forward to talking to you soon.
Love Alesia and Chris
Pray for those who persecute you....
Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."
Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....
Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.
2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.
We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
