This Past Month

It’s been some time, here is a quick overview of the past month.

Dakota & Kadin – have been busy with school, work and Resonate. A few weekends ago they traveled to a friends wedding and had a blast. I showed you the bunk beds the boys worked on, this past weekend they put up a hanging bed in the middle of the room for the one who was sleeping on the floor. They are making many memories and enjoying life together with their friends.

Kasey – had her first homecoming dance with some friends. She’s been going to most of the school’s football games, and is creating a great community around her. On Sundays, She has been leading worship every other week with a team and keeping active.

Polaris – has been keeping us all going and wants to play with anyone who enters the house. She loves walks and meeting new dogs in the neighborhood and at the local dog park.

Karen – has been keeping busy with small projects around the house (Doug has been helpful with table project), and working for different people to keep her mind and hands busy. She’s been helping out at Kasey’s church weekly with program stuffing and other tasks needed and taking Polaris on mini adventures.

Last weekend was a special weekend for me. Saturday, Doug, Grace and Tony (brother in law who is in town) and I went on an adventure to explore Idaho. (Kasey didn’t want to go!). The initial reason for the trip was to see the fall colors… not many fall colors in the mountains of Idaho, but we did see some great scenery. Sunday, Resonate’s “City Church” (young professionals and families) had service at our house. The main speaker was Wes! Back in May, they recorded Wes preaching a couple of his sermons. They plan to show the next one in December. It was bitter sweet to watch, and the message was about growing and deepening our relationships with God, the Church and the World. Afterwards, 16 of us created some meals for the Women’s shelter. I am thankful for the opportunity to serve and be served.

Oh Karen, thanks for keep me updated. I miss all of you so much. Just had another BIG birthday. I was remembering six years ago when Kaden and Dakota took the videos. It also had a nice, short session of Wes thanking me for my service at Seaside/New Song at the Regal Theatre. You and Kasey wishing me a happy birthday. So nice to have you all on tape. Your family is well, busy and moving along with their lives… just as it should be. Say HI to Doug and Grace. Tell them Jerry has his house up for sale. Bill still in Nursing home. I wish you all lots of love, smiles and blessings in the future. Love ya, Dian

You’re a Blessing, Karen!! At times, you may feel like 1/2 the team. But, God is leading you 100% and you’re answering wholly!! Wes is smiling with Jesus!! Love you, Dearly, Sister In Christ!!

Enjoyed hearing the update about Karen and the kids. It’s great to hear Wes is still making a difference Even though he has moved on in his life.

Glad things are moving along and all are OK. Miss the big guy even from here!! After all the suffering, I am glad he is home with his Father. I know his father and mother and all of you miss his presence here, and I know the Lord will fill that missing space with wonders we can’t even imagine. Love you all.

Hi…Good to see everyone keeping busy. You are all on my family prayer list. I don’t get out too much now so I have more time to pray. I have Neuropathy from Shingles all down my left side to my toes. gives me pain every day. I also have Vertigo so I use a cane and need to be careful walking. I am 85 and 1/2 and grateful to be living with my daughter Sue and her family. Keep on trusting Him…..He cares. love and prayers, Aunt Mildred
