I am beginning this series of updates with Jeremy because I have another request for prayer. On Monday morning, I will begin a week of intensive therapy with Jeremy. Tom isn't able to take another week off of work, so Jeremy and I will do it together and fill him in as much as possible. He will join us for the follow-up sessions. As a result of their past, Jeremy's issues are very different from Lucas' and although they are less disruptive, the wounds are just as deep. Please pray that God will use this therapy in all of our lives to help us help him to over come the fears and hurt that come with abuse and neglect. Also, please pray for his heart. He is learning more and more and asking more and more about what Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection means for us. Another concern is how Lucas will react to my being gone every day for a week. We are praying that it won't be a set back for him.
Jeremy had a great school year (once again, thanks to our terrific school where everyone really cares about the kids and goes above and beyond to help them succeed!) He improved in every area academically!
Jeremy is vey loving and continues to be a neat freak, straightening his room or bed without being asked, sweeping the garage floor and porch, vacuuming, etc. He loves to play outside and ride his bike or help Dad, but also enjoys reading and doing puzzles, especially word searches. His favorite indoor activity is Legos and especially builing them with big brother, Drew (who loves an excuse to play with Legos again.)
We are thankful that God brought him into our family and pray that He will soon bring him into His family!
Thank you in advance for praying for us this week!
What a handsome young man he is!! And you all are, as always, in my prayers.
