I've received requests to update my situation concerning the most recent trial that my family has been going through.  We continue going through this particularly "hard" place in our walk with the Lord.  I cannot tell you the details due to our need for confidentiality.  However, I ask that you continue to pray for me, Nicole and our two kids.  As you know, there is no distance between our prayers and the Holy Spirit.  He knows all things and their is no need for details with Him-for He already knows everything.  I must say that what we've been going through has been one of the most difficult times in my life personally.  I've experienced such a wide range of emotion in which at times I fell as if the Father Himself has given up on me.  The Holy Spirit spoke this scripture to my heart "though I walk through the valley, the shadow of death, I will fear no evil."  We all know this scrpture but it was particularily comforting to me. 

We are keeping our faces like flint toward the work the Lord has called us to as a married couple.  We are keeping our hands to the plow and not allowing ourselves to dwell on the past.  We are looking forward and not backward. 

I believe in the end, my family will be stronger than ever for this trial we continue to endure.   I'm sorry I cannot tell you more but the Lord in His wisdom prohibits me from sharing any more at this time.  I hope to share more at a future date. Thank you for your continued support, prayers and love.
