theodora:(greek) GIFT OF GOD

FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET, STRONGER THAN A VW BUG... it's a bird! it's a plane! NO, it's the fee bird! and it's her big, fat 28th birthday today so if you know her give her a big,fat hug or phone call!

for those of you who don't know, our little bird, has toned down her shreddage at trestles and is navigating the high seas of the merciless, saddleback pre-nursing program. n and i were in the intensive, pre-english major program there which included eating lots of bratwurst and earning extra credit for getting a bloodtest. needless to say, fee is working a lot harder. payback for all those hilarious surf stories she entertained us with as we procastinated in our studies.

fee has been such a blessing to us. below are some photos when she lived with us in washington. she came to take care of n while i was teaching full time. it was the year after we were married and n was not doing well. she was his full time nurse and friend.

bro and sis. nathanael means "gift of God" in Hebrew. both are renewed... "a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew... but Christ is all, and in all." Romans 3:11

my sister, too!!! fee is an amazing gift of God to us. she is SO full of LIFE!!!! we love her!!!

here she is with her momma when she came to visit at christmas. what a beautiful heritage.

"You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of human hearts. And such confidence we have in Christ toward God. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God." 2 Corinthians 3:3-5

WE LOVE YOU, FEE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

DERYK, WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU!!! THIS VERSE GOES FOR YOU, TOO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU WONDERFUL MAN OF GOD!!! WE SURE LOVE YOU.
