Micki,

Thank you for your kind words and prayerful support. We have added you to our prayer update list and plan to stay in touch with you in the weeks and months ahead. The Lord bless you richly.

 Hi there!
So glad to hear that God is bringing everything together for you!
Milt and I are sorry that we did not have an opportunity to talk to you more about your ministry and FCC's Support Our Troops. I had some medical issues shortly after we met you at church and am just finally pretty much back to normal! We are only mailing to 2 deployed servicemen right now, but expect our numbers to increase this fall.
We will be in Hawaii next week (Honolulu). Milt is a consultant for an asphalt company there, so this will be our 4th trip over the past 2 years. There is a very good possibility that we will be able to visit you there at some point in the future.
God bless you and your family as you continue to serve Him.

Hi Joan,
Thank you so much for your note of encouragement. We love your ministry at FCC! We have heard first-hand from our friends that we send packages to that receiving mail really lifts spirits. May God bless you! Please let us know when you are in Honolulu after we get there.
In His Grace,
Stacy Cassidy

hi stacy! just thinking of you and wanted to say hello! :)

Hi there, just checked out your site. It's great! We'd love to get our hands on some Puritan prayers and poetry!!! We like John Piper as well. : ) I was wondering if you guys had any of Paul's sermons online???
I'd LOVE to listen to some : )
God bless.

Aloha Erin,

Thank you for visiting. I think there is a message or two online at some churches I recently preached at in the Portland area. I'll check to see if I can find a link. Blessings on you and your family.

Paul

Glad to hear you made it safely! We've been praying for you as you make another transition. We'll look forward to more updates.

Hey guys, so glad to hear you're finally settled in hawaii. I hope you are enjoying God's beautiful views and surroundings. We just got our orders for Mayport, FL. We are supposed to report there by the 20th of Dec. It's exciting. God has blessed us with 4 more yrs on the east coast so we can share our baby with the grandparents and Great GP's. I wanted to also tell you I shared your website and e-mail with a couple here in Glen Burnie, MD who will be moving to Pearl Harbor by next year sometime maybe in the spring. Their names are Erik & Alex and they have 4 girls(1 is still in the belly, but due soon). I hope you guys get to meet them. They are a wonderful family. Neways, hope all is well. We will keep you updated on the baby and what gender it is when we find out. Love ya'll, In Christ, Annie & Nate

Stacy, Anna and kiddos,
Thanks for checking in! We are doing very well, just started school (much to my kids' disappointment!) and excited about God's movement in our lives. He is good and full of grace and mercy. Keep in touch. We love to hear how you are doing too! Your gift of flowers a few months ago really blessed us. Thanks for letting us participate in your 10th anniversary.
Love,
Stacy
p.s. I wrote this same post, but put it from Kooistra Family. Oops!

Nathan, Annie & Baby #1!
Thanks for your sweet note. I can't believe that you'll be moving on to Florida. That's great. I hope your move goes well and you find a church quickly. Annie, this will be your first big move with the Navy! Have a great fall - enjoy the fall colors before you move to the warm weather!
Blessings to you all! Let us know about your baby!
Love,
Stacy

Are you shopping at Safeway yet (at the bottom of your road). I just want you to remember, as you shop, that that is where Mikyla learned to walk and talk. Safeway was our "big" outing! Windward mall later. You are in our old stomping grounds. Can't wait to see you soon!

Erin,

I found the link that you requested to a recent sermon that I preached in Oregon. Here it is: http://www.cbchurchsr.org/?cat=3 The message was entitled "Faith in the Fire". Blessings on you and your family.

Barbara,

Wonderful to hear from you! We have indeed been to the Safeway down the street and emptied out our entire savings account buying groceries ;-) Food is soooo expensive here! We've also enjoyed a meal at 'Sumo Ramen' in the same parking lot. Their food is very similar to CoCo's there in Yokosuka with lots of curry dishes. Anyway, we are really enjoying our time here in Kaneohe and we thank the Lord for the generosity of so many individuals that have made our transition possible. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Hi Cassidy's,

Boy 11 years sure does go bye fast! Stac, I still have your book "Knowledge of the Holy." Happy to see you guys doing so well
