Well, Laurie is currently away at another adoption seminar. She is hosting an international seminar in Jackson this week. She is so busy, but the Lord is using her to open people's hearts about adoption. It is very amazing to see. Pray for her upcoming trip overseas. It is a huge investment of time, money, and sweat, but everybody believes that the evidence for the Lord's working are clear and direct. He wants children to have a better life with Christian parents than what they have now.
As for me, I am trying hard not to dismiss my last semester at Wesley Biblical Seminary as meaningless. I graduate May 19, and it is a toss-up whether Laurie or I am the happiest. It's been a long road. But it has also been a fantastic road. Our faith is simply too important to leave to random thoughts. In fact, our eternity actually depends on who we trust and what we believe, or rather whom we believe. That is the neat thing about the Christian faith. It is shallow and very, very deep at the same time. All we need to do is to repent, believe, and hold fast to Jesus and live like he did. See, that's simple. Yet, it contains the deepest mysteries of the universe.
Samuel is snoozing away in the next room. He's having a hard time with Mommy gone all the time (don't we all). So does Mommy. He is now able to count to three. He continues to amaze us, as well as his speech therapist. She even volunteered to baby sit for us. We hope to bring him by those of you who we leave behind when we leave for Sweden in the fall. Hopefully, we can make it to all of you. If would be nice if you could all move to Tennessee though :)
Let us know how you are doing, either at kjernald@msn.com or through MSN Messenger Live. We long to see you all.
Under His Mercy
