Ireland

 So, Maria and I are sitting in a Jersey airport about to head to Ireland for 8 days.  We're coming up on one year and it'll be good for us to get away.  What a year this has been.  Ups and downs but through it all, God's hand and grace have been extended to us in new ways.  We have our days and we miss Josiah incredibly but life and our family is great.  Ben is getting so big and he's such a joy.  God is opening doors for us and helping us like never before. 

Just after Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to speak at the SoCal Youth Convention in San Diego.  What a great group of young people... all 6000 of them.  They are rockin' it out in SoCal.  I spoke on the power of not giving up and I believe in Gal. 6:9-10 more than ever before.  It's hard and we don't like it in the middle but the confidence and harvest that comes on the backend after paying the price is so worth it. 

So, please pray for us.  Pray for our trip.  We'll be meeting with some church leaders about helping get a Master's going just outside of Dublin.  We'll also be up in Derry on Sunday morning with our good friends, the McCourts.  Everyone has been so generous and gracious in getting us over there and allowing us some time to reflect and just be. Thank you.

Thanks as well, for everyone who is even aware that we're coming up on a year and for all your prayers.  Just knowing that people know what time of year it is for us means so much... you have no idea.

anyway... until next time... much love and God's blessings.

Mamita and Papito are thinking of you. We hope that you have a great time in Ireland. We are also thinking how close we have become and how privilege we are of being your parents as well as your friends. We have shared our lives together, I think that is the way God wanted us to be, united no matter what!

We are exited with the anticipation of what God has for us in the future.
Loving you always,
Mami and Papi

I know it's a month after your post but I wanted to let you know that I thought about and prayed for you guys the whole last month. I've asked God to help me remember every year. Dan, you know I've been a huge fan of yours since we met but during the past two years, you and Maria have become an inspiration to me that exceeds anything I could put in to words. Thank you for sharing your heart so candidly.

I am praying for blessings beyond comprehension for you, Maria and Ben in 2007!

I Love You
