You are my friends..........

John 15:14

from the mouth of Jesus, to his disciples upon questions of where he is going, he told them many things, upon which.....

"You are My friends if you do whatever I command you."   It was the verse Andre decided to read to me, since he just learning how to read at age 9, he needs to pick 2 verses he understands, read them and tell me what they mean...when he read it; instantly a gift was given, a load lifted, and the tears came...I said he didn't need to explain...and it was all a very special sweet moment....

I have uploaded a couple photos from last Fall, first day of school, and have it as a reminder of how much has changed in one year...it was a long year with Dad dying, and for many other reasons, and it really shows...I hope to put it back together over the summer and coming months with His help...one day at a time...

Here a few photos from the weekend....Sophia had a softball tourny, some great hits, and it was fun even at the bottom end of it, and Natasha had a win at her softball scrimmage, Andre had a win today for his 3on3 and they passed the puck nicely and I think he had 4 in the net, and Jonathan's team won their 3on3 championship, and had a great time as well. Katya is working on getting jobs, and is looking forward to school being done. James is doing well, collecting plants, and Jaclyn had a nice time at her recognition ceremony for high ACT scores.

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
