AWwwwwwwwww!
I totally cried. I cried at the Obama video I watched this morning though, so I think I'm just really emotional this week.

That's so exciting! Congrats! I want lots of pictures while you're up in Lynden!

Amazing. I've watched it twice, and will definately come back to watch it again.
I'm so glad this is on video. I'm sure it's a video that all 15 of you will treasure for years and years.
Thanks for sharing Cassie!

This is what it is all about. Those wonderful kids got their mommy and daddy! Their dream realized! God is faithful and generous and good.
May this moment be one of many more joyous moments to come.
God bless the whole D. family at this most exciting time.

God is so GOOD! Look at this family He has brought together!! It's amazing how much He loves us and brings us all together in His perfect ways. I love it. He is obviously the glue that binds your family together, too, and let's praise Him for that, too!

Our love and prayers are with you-

Tears of joy here! We were at Beacon House this summer and well remember those children! Jacob played basketball with my 8 year old son, and I have a precious picture of the two of them. Praise God!

Cassie - awesome job on your blog. Nice changes, music, big pic on the top, and video... nice. nice.

You're FABULOUS girl!!!

I've been thinking about you a lot lately.

And this is something else. Take a look at Joshua Harris's younger brothers. They have a vision called DOHARDTHINGS which you can see at www.therebelution.com it's awesome what two 18 year olds are doing...and it's inspirational and challenging. I want to do some hard stuff for God. hmmm....

love you.
Ann

Cassie...LOVE LOVE LOVE that I got to be there to see the "first meeting" God really did work things out in a great way for us all to be standing on the same ground, pushing the enemy WAY back for such a time as this.
I am sitting here SWEATING, in my room with the fan circulating the 85 degree weather...Thankful for what God is doing in Ghana! Blessings my Cass!
Hopefully you will still be in Lynden when we get home with our kiddos so we can all have BIG hugs and watch the kids light up when they see FRIENDS old and make new ones as well!
Blessings

I just watched it again... I cried, again. It's an even more incredible moment to witness now that I have met Jacob, Sarah, and Rachel and seen all that God has done since this video was made. Wow!

I posted about our visit last weekend :)
