Hey Amy,
I can’t tell you how Nathan has really touched my daughters lives through Kadesh. They go every year and the last 2 years they have talked about Nathan. The girls come back with amazing stories of ordinary niceness that accomplished extraordinary results!
It encourages them. Thanks Jana

I have four younger brothers. None of them know the Lord. I have been a believer for 11 years and I think the only thing I’ve succeeded in doing consistently is annoying them with my “christianness.” My middle brother is moving to Knoxville on Thursday and I am heartbroken about that (as it is, I see all of my brothers 2-3 times a week…none of us have ever lived that far away from home, either). Your post sort of snapped me back to what is really important, though. First, God’s design for us as individuals and as siblings is SO much better than anything I could try to create on my own and second, I’ve wasted a lot of time. Life is short. It is to be expected that the things of God will be foolishness to my brothers…but I confess their response has hurt me and caused me to hold back with them or pray less because it is painful. That is the opposite of what I should do. I am sad that one of my brothers is moving away…but praise God that they are all alive and well and we have phones and e-mail and nieces to keep us connected to each other! I only pray I can be faithful to make better use of the time and pray and hope and love them like crazy…as unto the Lord.

Thank you!!

Amy, I have laughed cried and sang all at the same time several times today. And even at the worst of worst I praise God because of the hope we have and the fulfillment of that hope that Nathan now sees. I am truly a blessed woman for I have been blessed by children that love the Lord, truly there is none richer than me. …mom
