Prayer Request

This is a happy camper????

Tomorrow is Devon's IEP (Individual Educational Plan/Trienniel) which includes results of psychological testing.

The aim of this process is to tailor his educational program to suit his needs on various levels including, but not limited to:

1. Academic
2. Psycho/Social
3. Workability/Career development
4. Occupational therapy
to name a few.

Deanne, an OT and Lisa, Devon's bud and confidante have been great in getting us prepped for the meeting.

The participants include: the school psychologist, his instructors, his case worker, his service providers and parent advocates.

We need prayer for us to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit for wisdom and counsel so that we are in step with the Spirit and don't get ahead, or lag behind.

Devon's head and heart are into the game (school). It's truly been a miracle how he has progressed in this, his first full year at High School.

We have been so needy and friends and family have been intervening.

After a long layoff on the journaling, I don't to have to think too hard at all at how Someone is looking out for us. I'm glad that I have so much thanksgiving to fill the pages with.

Please pray too for friends Aaron (Devon's homeschool guru) and his wife, Anne as they have moved to Cambodia to serve the people through education and friendship.

Please pray for good friend, Kimberly who just moved to Vietnam for a season. Pray for safety and discovery. We all miss her so.

Please let us know how we can be there for you as you so wonderfully have been there for us!

Love,

Jon and Dev

P.S. Devon must have a prophetic gifting. He attends the Saturday night service @ Mariners. Last Saturday, he came home and insisted that I attend the 9:00AM service. I didn't want to, but did.

It seems that everytime Devon insists that I go, it is a Sunday that I don't want to go, but go because of his insistence, and each time, I think Wow. I'm glad that I did.

The phrase that stood out to me was, 'Jesus didn't minister to others from a distance. When he ministers to us, he comes close.'
