Please be praying!

Hey Everyone- be praying for Jenny (dear friend and roommate at Northwestern) and Travis and their little Bella today as she undergoes her first of several surgeries for a cleft lip and palate. She is beautiful just the way God made her, so it is a struggle knowing things will change, but we know the Lord has a plan, and we hope for the best. Praise the Lord for the gift of children, and may His grace sustain us as parents as we watch them grow and change...I can hardly believe how much my life has been blessed and transformed by Jonas, and to think, only after 8 months! What an adventure this new world of parenting is!

Dennis and I are really praying today! It's sooooo great that Travis can be there in person with Jenny. You can definitely see the Lord's perfect timing in all of that. What a blessing!
