Kevin is Home
Praise God!

We want to thank everyone for all the prayers and the continued prayer for Kevin's recovery.  We appreciate every text message, facebook message, phone calls and the many cards we have received. They each remind us of how special our church family is. We are so blessed by your encouragement! As Kevin went in for surgery, the Lord gave me this verse that I repeated over and over until they took him for surgery. Psalm 3:3-5 But you, O Lord are a shield around me. you are my glory, the one who holds my head high. I cried out to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy mountain.  I lay down and slept, yet I woke up in safety, for the Lord was watching over me. We know the prayers that we felt were the shield around us, His glory shown as you cried out on our behalf! 

With great love!
