Thankful

My New Favorite Family Pic
My apologies as I know it's been a while since my last post. We just drove back from Toronto last night and spent a good part of this summer traveling, seeing friends and family and just making up for lost time after Kim spent 43 nights in the hospital earlier this year. I'm so grateful that I work for a company that was kind enough to give me leave through the summer to make these memories possible. Some highlights of this summer include enjoying fireworks at Disney World's Magic Kingdom, watching the sun set over the Grand Canyon, seeing dolphins on a California beach, and getting sprayed by the mist of Niagara Falls. But honestly, the best part of it all was just spending time with so many people that we love and who have loved us in amazing ways especially through our cancer journey this year. As we've visited various churches and cities it's been so humbling to meet and personally thank the people who have cried with us and prayed for us (many of whom did not even know us). Thank you Jesus.

Please continue to lift up Andrew's family, with his recent passing, and Connor's family as they continue their search for a bone marrow donor match. Over 400 people registered at the GKYM Conference in Wheaton a couple weeks ago and of the 10 million people on the bone marrow registry only 70,000 are Korean - so 400 is a significant number. If you haven't registered and would like to please go to www.marrow.org and request a cheek swab kit to see if you might have the privilege of saving someone's life.

p.s. I've posted a few pics below for those of you who have lifted up our travels this summer. Wish we could have seen ALL of you. Thanks.
