This Morning, My Dad, and Tomorrow

THIS MORNING
This morning I had the opportunity to spend some one on one time with my daughter Aliyah. Since Katie had the special opportunity to do an over night adventure with her classmates in the kindergarten, I decided that I would treat Aliyah to a breakfast date with daddy. So what we decided to do this morning was to take a bike ride to a local bakery, eat some croissant filled with chocolate, have some hot chocolate, some juice, get some gum (breakfast of champions) and then head out on our little bike ride. We took about a 30-40 minute bike ride throughout our village and onto a bike path. It was great! It was only the two of us and we were able to race one another, laugh together, and simply enjoy one another. I really count it as a special time that I will never forget. I look forward to more dates with Aliyah!

MY DAD
I recently got off the phone with my dad to get an update of what is going on. One thing that I am not sure if I shared or not is that he has got a blood disorder that is called Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID). He has had it for almost 5 years now and so this is definitely a reason why he is continuing to struggle with his health. He basically does not have an immune system to help him fight again sicknesses. So what they did yesterday is treat his CVID and see if this will help build up his system so that he can fight against this sickness. He had to sit there for 4 hours as they slowly inject this medicine into him. He said that he doesn't really feel any different from it and that he definitely doesn't want to do that again. He is waiting to find out what is the latest update. He said that he isn't getting worse, but he also isn't getting better and so it is definitely a hard time for him. Please do continue to pray for him in this time. Thank you

TOMORROW
Tomorrow was supposed to be our church baptism, but due to bad weather that is in the forecast, we have postponed it until July 3rd. Because of this we will be having our normal morning and evening bible studies. Pastor Edmund will be teaching in the morning and he has asked me to be teach the evening service since he had already planned to be in Düsseldorf for Fathers Day. It is not a holiday here in Deutschland, but not only is Edmund Jr and his family there in D-dorf, but also his daughter Janell and her husband James are coming for 3 weeks and they arrive tomorrow. What a great Father's Day gift!
I am really excited for what the Lord has laid on my heart to share. It is honestly something that I have fought through in prayer, studying, and so much more. I honestly hate topical studies, but I know that the Lord is faithful. I am just praying that I will be faithful to declare what HE desires to say, nothing more... nothing less.
