december 6th – inside/out

Hi Sweetheart,

It was so fun to talk to Kayti today.  That is the longest phone conversation we’ve had, she had a lot to say.  She is growing up so fast and it amazes me the amount of development in just 3 months.  You have done an incredible job channeling her natural intelligence and strong curiosity toward constructive growth and development.  I can’t wait to get back so that I can be an active participant in that effort on a daily basis.  You are a very good mom and the Lord is blessing your efforts and faithfulness.  I know that I have said this before, but Kayti, Ryan and I are very lucky to have you in our lives.  We are very fortunate to be the recipients of your love and care.  But we are not the only beneficiaries of your Christian love and faithfulness, those that come in contact with you are also given that blessing.  You are an inspiration to many and I am proud of the woman that you are, that you have been, and that you are becoming.

Her children will rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” Proverbs 31:28

I had a great talk with Sporty today.  He has been struggling in his walk for the past 2 weeks plus.  We got off in a quiet corner and prayed together, which helped the rest of our talk.  The DA is coming at him with some options (he met with his attorney today) and they want him to give up information on other cases that he knows about.  His attorney and the DA are at the beginning stages of the deal negotiations, but it looks like they will greatly reduce the amount of time he might have gotten.  We praised the Lord for working behind the scenes to bring this about.  Now we are praying that the Lord will direct those involved in the negotiations, and Sporty too.  He is a little concerned about the whole process, wanting to ensure that he gets a fair deal, but is trusting the Lord to handle it.

Jonathan had a good visit with Sylvia today.  I prayed that God would direct their conversation and time together.  When he came back from the visit he was on cloud 9.  We then discussed the visit, we always do, and prayed together, thanking the Lord for guarding their time.  We had been up awhile last night discussing the possibility of her visit and what needed to be discussed.  I have been working with him on the communication that he and Sylvia should be sharing.  He has always been too concerned about losing her and not enough about having an open, honest line of dialogue.  He nevers seems to be able to tell her exactly what is on his mind.  Hopefully today he was able to do that.

I am tired today and really missing you.  It would be nice to retreat to my “safe place,” even if just for a little while.  I would give my left arm for a night in our suite alone with you, seriously!

Have a good evening my love.  I am going to try to get some rest.

Thinking of you always, Scott
