Preparing the Way Part II

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Jeremiah 31:3

   Here we are awaiting to meet our boy the Lord brought into our lives almost 2 years ago. A boy who is called to be our son... A boy who's name is given... Denis James Hendriksen. A life, that the LORD created, a gift from Heaven. Denis came into our lives and the Lord began to change us, to prepare us for HIS glory, HIS mercy has been revealed to us... It's been hard, it's been incredibly beautiful... HE has changed us for HIMSELF.  There have been times that we thought maybe this isn't the Lord's plan for us... HE clearly showed us the way encouraging us where we wanted to give up and giving us a glimpse of HIS will, giving us endurance and hope to press on, literally carrying us to the mountain top to redeem us with HIS amazing Grace!

We leave February 19th and will be arriving in Russia the 20th.  We will be joining Denis the 22nd U.S. time at 12:30 am and 23rd Russia Time at 8:30am.  Court date will be the 24th (U.S. time 23rd at 12:30am)... Please pray for us... We know Jesus is alive and we also know that the enemy doesn't want us to live for HIM... With God's Living word, by prayer and petition, by our faith in the name of JESUS we will prevail.  We will update you with what we can while we are there.

We are so very thankful for all who the LORD has brought into our lives. You have loved and encouraged, standing with us praying to our Lord and Savior JESUS Christ.
Hopefully we will post after our arrival in the region where Denis is.

With much love,
Bob, Heather, Kyle, Taylor, Denis and Katie
