It's been a while...

 It's been so long since I last updated. Thank you to all of you who have continued to pray for our family. So many times, things like this are just a bump in the road for other people but for us... it's a rebuilding and a process of healing. And what a process it has been. God has been so good to us and we are a picture of a miracle. We've just been focusing on each other and allowing God to heal us... and he is. It's still tough and we definetely have our days, but I don't know if I ever want that to end. I think I'll always live with a bit of the pain and sting and I want it that way. I'm not going to try to explain it but I think you can at least imagine.

We miss Josiah greatly and quite honestly we are not looking forward to the next two months. It takes us back one year ago and those times were the hardest. We'll get through. God will use others and extend his grace. If there is anything that we've learned in the past two years, it's that God is active on our behalf even when we can see it or sense it. He never stops working... that's what Jesus said anyway.

Maria and Ben and I are doing incredible. We are enjoying each other more than ever and God is really helping us. My energy levels are up and God is renewing things in me that had to be put on hold. The cool thing is that they are even fresher than ever before and in a whole new... better perspective. Anyway... just wanted to let you know that we are still here and... God is truly with us.

Never ever give up because God is with you. It is just a season and he will carry you through. I can say that with the depth of a man who has been to the edge and back in more than one way... he's true. Don't throw in the towel. You're going to make it... and so are we.

On another note... I'm over at MySpace... myspace.com/brodta. I don't blog there at all but drop by and see me if you're on.

Also, we are launching CMC v3 Site this week. It's supposed to be up so keep checking www.clearwatermc.net. It rocks and there's a lot of interactive stuff as well as cool gear in the store.

Thanks for hanging in there with us. Much love.

 Dan, and Maria,

 Its soo  neat to see and hear that God continues to work in your life.  I have also been to the edge and back. Its not a good feeling .. But  It made me a stronger person..  In 2 Corinthians 12:9, In MY Weaknes,  His strength is Perfect.  A friend of mine gave me that verse.  I  hope  you find strength too  in those words.  Dan, Maria, and Ben,  I love you guys..   Even through the storm, you have been and continue to be a blessing.. Stay strong,  were praying for you and your family...
