We are home!
Home at last! This was a shorter trip than usual, but it felt so long! Lina is doing great. Her nose looks better with each day. Her eye was swollen this morning, she must have rubbed it in the night. Dr. Rose is very pleased with the way everything is looking and says we are on the home stretch. We will probably go back for in office surgery in September. Mary flew in on Monday and enjoyed her stay. Bill and Susan took us around town so she was able to see the Statue of Liberty, Broadway, and had some fantastic lunches. I know I say it everytime, but I am so thankful for their friendship! Hannah and I leave early in the morning for Tennessee for AAU nationals.

Dear Laura,
I met you on the plane from New York to Tampa on the 18th. I sat next to you and learned about your amazing story. I have thought about you and your girls ever since and know that God has good things in store for you. You truly listened to God's voice and I was able to see His face in yours. Thank you for being a testimony to His most incredible love. Sue Stevens
Laura,
God certainly has blessed us by allowing us to watch you and Rob take care of your family and reach out to others too. Your comment to me this morning (we're praying for you every day") blew me away of course, because, somehow I am so inconsistent in keeping anything going on a daily basis. You seem very strong to me (though I only know you from a distance) with a real passionate heart for the Lord. By the way, we do pray for you all as well. Rob was so gracious to talk with me for quite a long time after church, way beyond the call of duty, a few Sundays back. I pray God will soon provide him with the right job.
I am way too caught up in my own snares and toils, and my thoughts don't seem consistently unselfish or intercessory enough to feel that my heart has matured in a way that God could really love the "usual me" that I am. Yet I know that one
of the things that makes God divine is is His ability to know our every motive, even when we ourselves might be blind to them. None of what I've said is meant to puff you up, but rather, to encourage you to keep doing those things that are difficult but that you know are right. Keep pressing on; I feel certain that God is pleased with you because He is glorified... jmt
