I know I posted a link to Sarah and Joel's blog a few weeks ago, but I'm doing it again today: http://joelandsarahsjourney.wordpress.com.
You see, these aren't just people in my hometown. These are dear friends of ours, and to see them have to continually battle for health not only breaks my heart but it stirs up a righteous anger. This is not how it should be.
I cannot say enough about Sarah. Her blog is just a glimpse of the resilient, tender, determined, fierce, faithful woman that she is. She stands for her husband in a way that many people don't dare to do - and why shouldn't she? Our God is the God of miracles. As her recent post says, He is the God who parted the Red Sea, and He's the God who a month ago saved Joel's life once again. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. And day by day, He's giving this family the grace and strength to battle another day, and another day, and another day.
I ask you to pray for Joel. I ask you to dare to stand in full faith that this man will be healed, fully, completely. Come boldly before the throne of our merciful God and ask for restoration for this family. Be part of the army that has arisen to surround this family in prayer. And then, in the end, when he returns home, you'll know you had a part in one of the most powerful stories you've ever witnessed unfold.

Birthdays... belated!
Is it... July?
I realized it had been a "while" since my last post, but apparently it's been quite a while. A LOT has happened in the last few months, and we've had a fun time celebrating a season of family birthdays. Here we go, with throwback photos from the glory days of 2008, simply because I stumbled onto them today:
My sister-in-law, KRP, had a March birthday. She, by her very nature, is an encourager. Kimberly Renee, I am thankful for you!
This hottie celebrated the big 3-2 on the very day we left the country for the Middle East. Mr. Park, this is going to be one fantastic year for you, I just know it. You are unbelievably kind, generous, full of vision and passion, and your family adores you.
His father, Papa to our boys, celebrated his birthday while we were overseas. Here's the to man who taught me, among many great things, the pleasure of a breakfast cookie.
And my momma, ooooh where do I even start? Sainthood, I tell you. Sainthood. (And, she's buff.)
And me? I am no longer 30, but am now "in my 30s." Haha!
Also in there, my youngest little sweetie turned six months old, and my eldest is just days from turning two-and-a-half. But those two will have posts of their own, maybe tomorrow? Maybe before August?!
Happy birthday all!
