Here with us...

The last time we updated you, Matthew wrote about God’s unconditional love for us. Since then, we continue to daily learn more about God’s love and the responsibilities of being a “House Parent”, “Tutor,” “Tio/Tia” or “Papa/Mama”. We continue to learn how this love and these responsibilities go way beyond just the physical; they go into the spiritual and they get very real. We deal with a very real battle daily for these boys’ souls.


No matter the length of time God might have us here, these boys will always hold a place in our hearts. We have already been here for 3 months the 10th February. During these past months, we have dealt with a lot of attitudes. We know that these come from very heartbroken, wounded hearts and souls. These boys have been through so much change and each change has affected them profoundly. We have seen many days recently of obedience, hope, love, laughter and fun. They seem to now be adjusting quite well.

Every Blessing Comes From God

Tiffany and I consider these past several weeks as a time of blessing from God. While waiting for his next move, we’ve been able to meditate on his word and seek him more profoundly in prayer. Tiffany and I are at a waiting point in this journey. We are simply waiting for the next page in the road map to be revealed to us. When I think about it, I envision our family sitting on the side of the road at a bus stop, bags packed, and simply waiting on the bus to arrive. If the bus has been delayed for some reason, we trust God knows and is working things out according to his timing and perfect will as we wait. Meanwhile, Tiffany, the kids and I are enjoying life together, laughing and praising God for the many blessings he has given us along the way.
