Steve & Andrea have three kids! I am so blessed to have been here for the birth of this one. In all of my travels I have been at all the births. That is a gift from God I believe. I can imagine that this type of miracle could never have been planned by man. I am grateful to God for his providence. I wish I could see the kids grow up and I could be closer to them, but in my life right now it looks distant. This makes an auntie sad. The place God calls me to is where I must be. Hopefully the kids eventually see me as the crazy missionary aunt who loves them from a foreign country and will send them crazy trinkets in the mail. I just hope we can be friends someday. The cry of my missionary's heart. Sigh.
