There is so much I can post right now. Our lives seem to be full of new news, but today I just want to talk about the power of prayer.
For those of you who don't know what is going on with my brother and his wife, they are expecting twins come December. This is very exciting and we are all excited to welcome them into our family. However, about a month ago they found out that one of the babies has a heart defect that requires immediate surgery upon delivery. Because of this, Shane and Margaret and my niece Lorelei are having to move to the coast as soon as next week. This is good. It is so that the doctor's can keep a closer eye on Margaret and on the babies. But along with this came so many uncertainties. Where would they live, how could they afford to run two households, and of course the health of the babies. Today some prayers were answered and they were accepted into an apartment complex that helps families in their situation. Also, they were contacted by a representative from a few service clubs who assured them they would have financial support. This is HUGE. Now my brother and his family can relax and just focus on the health of their babies, and while that is still unknown, they now have at least a home for the next few months. Please pray for my brother and his family as they are going through this difficult time. Pray for the health of the babies, and that a miracle happens.
In addition to all of this, we have some good friends in Regina whose daughter was just diagnosed with Leukemia. She is just 2 and a half. I don't know much, except that she started chemo and is responding well to it so far, but there is a long road a head. Her spinal fluid is clear, which is positive. So please pray for their family, and the little girl. Every little bit helps.
And as for us, Dana and I are making some more big changes in our lives and we could always use some prayers thrown our way. What we are going through is not as BIG as my brother and my friends, but it still will be a transition. We appreciate all the support and LOVE we have gotten so far and hope that the future will bring much more.
Prayer is amazing and I truly do believe in miracles. I believe that no matter what, we always have faith.

I heard about your brother & Margaret and also about little Ava (? is that her name). Anyway- both situations, so sad. I'm glad your brother is getting some financial help so they can focus on what is most important.
Good luck to you & Dana with whatever transitions you are considering.
Praying and praying.
