In her book, “Elephants and Angels”, Marcia Miles Ramsey writes:

“Elephants and Angels” describes the emotional spectrum of our time together.    It symbolizes the mix of earth and Heaven we experienced during Dana’s seven and a half years; times when all was well and our spirits soared with laughter; times when death came near, pressing us into the depths of grief.  It represents the mystery of Dana; the things I knew; the things I missed.  As you read her story, I pray you will feel God’s love even though the way was dark, frightening and often isolated.  To those who are living where we onced lived, I wish I could tell you this book will answer your heart’s cry, “Why God?”, but it will not.  The road you are on is not an easy road.  It has not been; it will not be.  What I can promise is, “Jesus walks beside you to brighten the journey…to lighten every load that you bear.“

Experience this family’s journey through the difficulties, blessings, heartaches, and triumphs of having been trusted with a child who was born with “challenges”.

Your life will never be the same again!

     “Special Blessings”

For the past 12 years, Step by Step Ministries has sponsored two children who live in Uganda in a home supported by Watoto Ministries.  They have become a special part of our lives.  We always look forward to receiving pictures and letters from our two children, James and Stella.   

Several years ago, James and Stella began signing their letters as “love your son” and “love your daughter”.  The first time I received letters signed in that manner, I cried and thanked God for giving us the opportunity to bless them and “plant seed” in their lives.  I also thanked God for the blessing these children have been in our lives…..receiving their letters, watching them grow, seeing their writing skills improve,  hearing about exciting things that happen in their lives, etc. 

I received a letter from James this week and thought you might enjoy sharing in our joy….

“How are you doing?  I hope you are very fine.  Thank you so much for sponsoring me.  I pray that the Lord may bless you.  I am in grade five and I hope in 2010 I will be in grade six.  My family and I are doing well.  We are going towards the end of the 2nd term.  We are going to have camp in this holiday on the 16th of August 2009.  The camp is going to end at the 23rd of August 2009.  I hope I will enjoy the camp.  I am so happy to be in Watoto because they are training me to be a future leader.  Let me tell you a very beautiful place and we have the best pineapples and bananas in the whole world.  We also have two seasons in Uganda.  We have the wet and dry season.  Send my greetings to every one.  May God bless you!  Love Your Son, James”

Please keep our kids in your prayers!
