Full House

Casa Juan is officially full with 8 boys.  Thought you all might like to see a recent photo of the "kids".

Bottom: Camilo(16), Marcos(16), Jaime(15) and Mario(16)

Parenting 10 has it's challenges...let's face it, challenges, challenges and CHALLENGES but it can also be lots of fun.  The longer we are together the more attached I am to each of these young men.  I love them dearly and with that sometimes the heartbreaks and disappointments are tougher but also I believe that the day to day life is sweeter.  And in the messy, our young men are learning more about navigating life and relationships.  Please continue to pray for these young men as they navigate adolescent and become men.  It is such a pleasure to see their uniqueness, to see the way God has made each one.  And it is such heartache to watch the enemy mess with them, to see them believe the lies and live out of their past pain instead of who they really are.  Please pray with us that they would experience all that God has for them. That they would learn to see God for who He is and who they are in Him.  After a recent message at church about who we are in God, I was able to encourage several of them with "Remember who you are".  Pray with us that they would discover these truths.
