My brother Lawren had a horrible accident. He fell off a two story building while trying to hang Christmas lights. The initial report was bad. He was placed on ventilator and was not responding. They thought he had bleeding into his brain. Actually I was told he did! SO I AM PRETTY SURE GOD HEAL HIM AND PERFORMED A MIRACLE.
Now two and a halfdays later he is doing much better. I love him so much and am glad he is better. Accidents and things out of our control teach us great lessons. To trust in the LORD of the Universe. To test our faith, to see if we truly believe that the God we recieved in our hearts is really the God of Moses that parted the sea, caused Jericho to fall, gave strength to Samson to defeat his enemies BLIND, and gave David the faith and strength to defeat the GIANT GOLIATH.....
Here is a little word that I recieved from God after listening to CASTING CROWNS.
SOMETIMES GOD CALMS THE STORMS IN OUR LIVES AND SOMETIMES HE RIDES THEM OUT WITH US!!!
So Dear friends.....even if its still RAINING in your life....the storms keep coming, LOOK UP, REACH OUT, HE IS RIGHT there......HE is with you....
I believe this with all my heart.....I have seen HIM in the storms of life and He has always BROUGHT us through.......
SO PRAISE GOD...whether you are IN THE STORM or standing under a RAINBOW......AMEN AMEN!!Lawren Stone you are greatly loved by me, your family, and by your FATHER IN heaven who has NEVER EVER left your side....I am praising God for your healing....and amazed by our awesome God who brought you through this storm....may you trust him and recieve His great love for you

the dirt roads of Africa
Some would say...if God called me to Africa it would be SCARY HARD IMPOSSIBLE....this has always been my dream.....
But right now God has called me to GAP MINISTRIES. HE somehow believes that I have something to offer these children and has placed 7 (9 with my own) children in my home to love!!!!!
WOW!
It is difficult, consuming, exhausting, and stretching me beyond anything I have ever done before!!!
I have to keep press in.....I have to focus my heart and attitude of Jesus......I have to give up my own desires...I have to trust...I have to have patience....I have to ask the SPIRIT for guidance.....
It is making me a better Christian......making me walk with GOD more!!!!
I can say that I have mixed feelings. Because as I give of myself and my time (my family's time) I am worried about my children and my marriage. I want to protect them. God how far do I go....being a missionary to foster children.....protect my kids. I hate them to hear and see the abuse and violence.....I hate for my little baby to get hurt physically and emotionally.
Protect them. They are yours. So I guess I need to learn to trust more! But also I dont want to be irresponsible!!!!!!!
Walking next to you....
Im going to let you carry me a while......
Until I find my own strength and no more what the right answers are......

10 years!!
10 years of life shared with someone else cannot be put into words. But here we are 10 years into a great life......its not just you and me anymore...but our family that God has given us....our marriage is full of love and life.....we have beautiful children....
I've spent the night thinking
about you, my rose, my best friend, my husband.
There has to be a special way
to show you how I feel.
Being married is so special.
Its the opportunity to live life
with that very special someone.
Each day is new but I always have
you by my side.
Challenges come and go.
Faith and love grow daily.
I love you more than ever.
You are a beautiful person.
Your heart is filled with love,
and I am still surprised each day
that the love you have in your heart,
you still want to give me wholly.
You are so patient and forgiving
of all my faults and quirks.
You know me so well, and I
know I can trust you always.
You have never hurt me.
You have never betray me or
doubt.
I am so undeserving of such
unconditional love.
I ask God why He sent you into my life.
I was and am so broken from
past hurts.
And you continually heal my heart.
I thank God I have such a wonderful
man as my husband, who loves me
and his children.
I think of all the memories
the times we spent together.
The common days and all the
adventures.
I look at our kids and cant wait
to share more days and life with
you. I know we have a lot of richness
life to look forward to in years to come.
No matter what we are doing
in life and work.
I have the perfect partner.
I am sorry for any times I
have not been the kind of wife
that makes you a better man.
You are already so good.
I thank you for your faith in us
and your relationship with God.
The one thing that I'll always
know is we will be forever.
I think back to the day
of when we said "I Do"
We were so young.
We didnt know all that was
in store for us.
Marrying you was the best thing ever.
You gave me life, family and love.
We were two young kids in love which
quickly turned into a young family of three
seeking God which eventually developed
into the most fantastic family of four.
My love for you is so strong
I want to take you in my arms
and never let you go.
Im excited for every NEXT with you.
Im excited for the challenges of life
Im excited for the joys of life
Im excited to see what God has in
store for us, our kids, and our future.
So Jason, please o please will you do me the honor
of marrying me again?
These first ten years have been so amazing.
I cannot put into words..but let me just say this..
I love you I love you.
I vow to you to be a better wife in the next ten years.
I vow to lift you up in prayer.
I vow to grow with you through all joys
and challenges.
Thank you for these past ten years...
no gift or card to show my gratitude.
You are amazing.
You are my most perfect husband and best friend.
I want our kids to continue to grow up in a home
filled with love....unconditional and everlasting.
I want our kids to see us and be steadfast to find
similar love and friendship that we have in each other.
Always and Forever,
Krissy

Running
For various reasons, I feel the need to get back into actively racing. I have found 2 races in the next few months that I want to run and work my way up to.
October 26 for a half marathon and Dec 8th for my first marathon. In order to be a boston qualifier I would have to run the marathon in 3:35 with miles paced at 8:12. I think I can do this. Christopher and I love to run together. Alexis loves me to run with her in her stroller and Jason is trying to run with me but hurt his ankle a few years back and it has just prevented him from running as much with us. I think he can take the bike out though. That would be great. I will keep posted on my progress.

HEART PLACE
I am amazed at the things and people God has brought into my life in the past 8 months. I just feel so blessed to be IN THE WILL OF GOD. I really feel that I am. I think I am in the place God wanted me to be all this time...and when I say PLACE I do not mean TUCSON exactly....I mean the heart place that I have finally arrived at.....
I love all the ministries we are actively involved in and the more God continues to bring to us:
God's Smile Makers- Jason and I will be leading a small group for parents with children with special needs. We were asked to lead it....I did not pursue it....I feel blessed to be trusted to this appointment.....I lead a Bible Study years ago with a friend.....feeling very inadequate...but it was the belief someone had in me..that allowed me to be invovled in something like that....
Reina De Los Ninos- working at an orphanage in Imuris Mexico, helping out, hanging out with kids...and in a month...going to build a medical clinic and fix some dormitories and furniture
Refugee Ministry-van ministry and after school program bringing kids to church...
Teen Challenge- volunteering to cook at a girls home
CHE training- learning how to empower people in communities to identify problems find solutions and utilize their resources to be self sufficient and thriving communities in health and relationship to GOD.
Two awesome churches- New Life and Pantano
Gap Ministires- working with children in foster care and also potentially medicall fragile.
I think these and other opportunities have opened to me because my HEART IS GOOD.
God is blessing me ...leading a more righteous life and more focused life....my heart is open and arms are ready to receive the work he has for me to do with my family.
Im excited EVERYDAY about life and love all the things is allowing me to do with my family for Gods kingdom.

Beautiful Life
My daughter Alexis Eliana Israel Molander is 18 months today. She is such a blessing to me. I love her so much. I thank God for her.
I thank God for this beautiful life he has given me. I am loving this year. 2013. It is such an amazing year.
10 years ago I was married to my awesome faithful husband.....in a few months we will celebrate 10 years....
Our son will be 9 years old in a month....and yes oh yes...I will turn 30.
I can say I did have some STUPID 20 something moments. I would give anything to take some time back......I think I lost 2 years somewhere...hehe.
Im just overwhelmed with God's goodness. It never changes.....His forgiveness love and loyalty, I am so thankful for today.
A few weeks ago my son rededicated his life to the Lord.....I feel like with the birth of my daughter......I have new life as well inside my heart. Ive rededicated my life to him as well in many ways....i see things so differently...and they way I act and react has changed...so much...its a continual process...but Im glad God is patient....and good.
I am stripped of all those past hurts...well not all of them because sometimes they creep up on me.....but I feel a freedom......a new zeal and passion for the next thing God has for me....I am thankful for where I come from but dont regret not pressing on...HE has protected me since I took my first breath.....and prevented me from hurting myself too much...or getting hurt too much....i had control of some things and didnt have control of others in the last 30 years....but God has always had control...thank goodness.
Im excited to embark on life with my little family each new day ....and join with some awesome people God has placed in our lives.....working with refugees, working in orphanages, working with children, serving over seas, serving medically, serving the homeless.....flood gates of opportunities have flung wide open....
I think partially I was not ready or committed enough before...maybe....there was sin or hurt or distraction or stupidity clouding my mind and heart.......
So all in all I so very excited for whats next.....I love my baby girl...I love my gorgeous husband and I love my genius son.........
LIFE IS GOOD....SO GOOD...because God is so good.
AMEN.
