It's one of the highlights of my day to log in and read the many adventures of your family and the work you're doing in Chile. I don't comment as much as I'd like to but I'm trying to get better at that! Please don't stop! <br />StacyStacyandChadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901112492672314292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611710.post-58196455122498199802011-01-16T20:25:23.795-03:002011-01-16T20:25:23.795-03:00Stephanie,
I hope you don't stop blogging. The...Stephanie,<br />I hope you don't stop blogging. There is something about what you write and how you write that is so simple. Which is remarkable considering the complexity you face on a regular basis. You draw a clear picture of what ministry really is...and you do it so modestly...while when I read between the lines, I know your days are full of hard work, but good, good, good work. <br /><br />Also, I have brought Charleigh to the computer screen several times when she doubts her place in this "20 percent hispanic family" of ours. It helps her so much to know that you don't have to have the same color skin to be a real family. I have a mother's gratitude to you for that. And mother's gratitude is heavy stuff.<br /><br />I read often...most every day. You aren't alone in the world, even if it is summer there when it is winter here!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08071728508673942664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611710.post-79689640976455052462011-01-16T20:04:11.534-03:002011-01-16T20:04:11.534-03:00Steph, I don't often respond to posts (anywher...Steph, I don't often respond to posts (anywhere for that matter), but I do read your blog and would miss keeping in touch with you without it.

As a single mom of two, one by the miracle of adoption, your stories and glory to God give me strength to continue. <br />I enjoy reading of your adventures, especially related to the missionary field. My sister and her family are missionaries in Papua New Guinea. Reading of your day to day life gives me better understanding of how to pray for my sister.<br />As time allows, keep blogging, I know there are many that read but do not comment...<br /><br />Blessings,<br />-MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611710.post-80619183170216182512011-01-16T02:31:49.388-03:002011-01-16T02:31:49.388-03:00I read every entry, I have you on google reader so...I read every entry, I have you on google reader so I don't miss anything. I know I don't comment much, (I don't even make comments hardly on my own blog) but I read and when I do I don't feel like there are thousands of miles between us. I am awful at keeping up on FB. I am glad that you are not quitting the blog!

The purpose of blogging often seems redundant. . . family and friends. . . updating. . .decompressing. . . .expressing. . .but, WHY do we do this!?!? I mean, really - WHY!?!<br /><br />For some reason or another I think God gives us this opportunity to give Him glory in ways we couldn't otherwise. Some days He draws us into His haven of rest through it and other days He delights in us telling others about His work in our personal lives as well as the lives of those little ones He's entrusted us with. Through it all He bonds together some of His people in a very unique way - praise Him for His creativity!<br /><br />So, all of that to say - I'm delighted and blessed beyond measure by your blogging and am eager to continue on your journey with you!sea salt MOSAIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687637976326125918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611710.post-20845691480052632932011-01-15T15:32:11.555-03:002011-01-15T15:32:11.555-03:00OK Steph, my turn to put in my two cents.

I find everything you say to be fascinating and I would miss terribly the laughter and the tears that come when I'm reading about our family in Iquique. I agree with Dad, please don't stop as long as you are willing to keep it up.

I certainly don't respond to each but I've read each and every one over the last 6 years. It keeps in touch with all that is going on with the family, helps us to pray, and makes the many miles between us more "aguantable!" Please don't stop! Love, DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
