A Word From Dean and Nelda....

Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice in everything...."
As we search for words to put on paper it seems there are none that can express all that is flowing from our hearts. To all of Mandi, Andre, Gabe, and baby Knepp's family and friends..... THANK YOU! Thank you for your prayers, cards, words of encouragement, acts of kindness, food, the list is endless... we will NEVER be able to repay you!
We can honestly say this has been the hardest thing we have had to walk through, in our life together. Watching our little girl lay in her bed unable to move....our baby boy plugged into machines from head to toe, and our son-in-law (whom we call our son) emotionally torn between where to be...caring for his wife and caring for his son. In all of it we can honestly say we have felt your prayers! There were times when everything within us wanted to fall apart, but the strength we received through your prayers kept us strong.... we know our strength came from the Lord.
One of Gabe's Doctors ( precious believing lady)... one day told us her perscription for Gabe was to call our prayer warriors and get them praying....she explained that you who were praying were like the men who held up Moses' hands in the Bible. Thank you for holding up our arms.
We are all home now... God is so good... he allowed Mandi and Gabe to reunite on the same day at HOME! He is an Awesome God. As for Mandi and Andre living with us...we are taking it one day at a time....when its time to go home we will all know! Just pray for us as we live together and serve each other...our united hearts' desire is to honor and glorify our Father in the midst of all this.
Thanks,
Dean and Nelda
