What a GREAT picture!!!
Abbie has four very proud big brothers. Chase is 13, Kyle is 11 and her twin brothers RJ and Matthew just turned 7. Her cousin Crystal, who is 16, came to live with us in April of this year. We educate our kids at home, and the time that we have been able to spend together seems especially precious now. Abigail is the little light of our family, always providing adventure and comedic relief for all the taller people in her house. She was named "Abigail" because it is Hebrew for "Father rejoices", and we knew if God gave us a girl that we ALL would rejoice. Her middle name is Faith, because, well, after four brothers....but we are now reclaiming that middle name in the spirit of Hebrews 11:1, that faith is "the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
We have lived here in Honolulu for two years now, and this is truly home. There is, of course, the natural beauty but what really makes Hawaii special is the people. As we have often said, they are beyond "nice", they are kind.
As you can probably see from this site, we are believers in and followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even through, or perhaps especially through this trial, His goodness and mercies are new every morning, and He is keeping all His promises.
