OVERNIGHTER: ELKA & DADDY

Yesterday, Elka and Brodie headed off on their first overnight date!
They got to stay in our college alumni cottage which overlooks the ocean
and it has been a special time for them together.

 

We planned this date before Haiti because we really wanted Elka to have her own experience
with her Daddy too before Aida and Brodie leave with him for their mission trip in June.
I hope that she feels LOVED, cherished, and poured into!



Although Elka wasn't old enough for this particular mission trip, she can hardly wait to
GO, serve, and love needy people around the world.
She is deeply compassionate and exuberantly passionate to GO and I can't wait to send her...soon!

Elka has literally counted down the days, hours, seconds until this special overnight getaway. We've missed them here at home, but it's been a privilege to send them off. I hope that Elka feels as special as she is. I've prayed the Lord would meet them closely in their time away and fill them with His presence on their Daddy/Daughter overnighter...I know He has and always will!

 

Thank you, Lord, for our Elka...our sensitive, enthusiastic, rainbow of a daughter.
She fills our lives with joy and color and we know you will use her life mightily for your glory!

 

 

 

I sure do LOVE this girl!!!

 

So, Daddy and Elka are headed home after a fun last day at the beach. It's amazing how many
memories these two have made in just a day and a half! I'm so glad they had such a great time!!
