God is Moving!

Praise God for His goodness, and for His wonderful works among the children of men! On Saturday, May 22, I asked Mariela to marry me… and she said, “Yes, with all my heart!” I am in awe. I am unworthy. I am humbled and grateful for God’s love for me and work in my life; and for Mari’s pure, faithful, supportive love and acceptance. God is so good… and I am so blessed! I’ve shed many a tear of gratitude to God for bringing Mari into my life.

Jono, I am SO THRILLED with what God is doing in your life... bringing Mari into your world, and drawing you both together. It's awesome to watch how you've already changed for the better because of Mari! ;-) I love you, and look forward to getting to know Mari better in the future!!

Praising the Lord with you, my brother! I know how dear this answer to prayer must be for you, and I am just so happy for you both. Please make sure you let us know when the happy date will be.

Love you, bro!

Wow Jono! My heart is singing for you! I'm so eager to meet Mari. I guess this will start to sink in then. :-) I just seems like everything is happening at once! All God's blessings to you brother! See you soon!

You don't know me, but I took a break from school work (working on masters degree and this part is boring). anyway, God is awesome and he has been the center of my husband and my relationship for many years. We were best friends before he asked me to marry him. (we were in n at the time). After he asked me, we then went out on our first date about 2 months later. We held hands about 2 months after that. We got married a year after he asked, trying to find time to get married and we have been married 35.5 years now. May God Bless You and Mari in all you do.

Ah, how bittersweet to be the long-forgotten sister to a brother who is floating along in outerspace. (Oh, wait just a moment, I believe i saw the sole of his boot! no, it was just a piece of space dust) So, I continue to console myself with memories of long ago (just last year) and hope that one day, he might peek over through the stars, and send me a wave or a smile, while I sit in my corner of space, equally out of sight from earthlings.

And, now, it's a year since your last post... guess things haven't slowed down much, huh? ;) And now you are very soon to be a DADDY... things won't slow down anymore - I promise!! :) But this up-coming, new Grandma is very excited about all the activity! :D
A few pics might be nice to see little Jordan's waiting room. :)
Love you all!
