Two Years

Adan has now been missing for two years. It doesn't get any easier and we don't miss him any less. In some ways it may be more difficult because we feel as though we must try to go on with our lives some how, it is hard to be in limbo for so long. I don't think that anyone can understand what our lives are like unless they have a missing loved one. People understand death because most everyone has lost someone close to them, but in some ways I think death might be easier and yet we have hope. If he is not alive there is the hope of heaven, but we hope he is alive and we will be a family again.

We are still believing that God is in control and He will restore our family. We hope it is soon. We love our husband and father so much and would love to know for sure that he is alive and well, but we will continue to have faith and trust the Lord of all creation and the God of our hope in all this.

I don't know how anyone lives without the hope that comes with the Christian life and walk with the Lord. If anyone reading this doesn't know the Lord (isn't born-again), I hope they will visit www.NeedGod.com to learn who the Savior is and why they need Him. I am sure that we would not have made it this far in our current journey without the assurance that our God is with us. He gives us the grace and hope and love and desire to go on with living. This life is but a vapor, but eternity is forever.


Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord! Psalm 31:24

Behold, the Lord's eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe], who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness, Psalm 33:18

For in You, O Lord, do I hope; You will answer, O Lord my God. Psalm 38:15

But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. Psalm 71:14

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5

Have Faith in God

This Spurgeon Devotional has been a great encouragement to me. I hope it will encourage you also.

“Have faith in God.”
Mark 11:22

Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the road of the commandments. Love can make the feet move more swiftly; but faith is the foot which carries the soul. Faith is the oil enabling the wheels of holy devotion and of earnest piety to move well; and without faith the wheels are taken from the chariot, and we drag heavily. With faith I can do all things; without faith I shall neither have the inclination nor the power to do anything in the service of God. If you would find the men who serve God the best, you must look for the men of the most faith. Little faith will save a man, but little faith cannot do great things for God. Poor Little-faith could not have fought “Apollyon;” it needed “Christian” to do that. Poor Little-faith could not have slain “Giant Despair;” it required “Great-heart's” arm to knock that monster down. Little faith will go to heaven most certainly, but it often has to hide itself in a nut-shell, and it frequently loses all but its jewels. Little-faith says, “It is a rough road, beset with sharp thorns, and full of dangers; I am afraid to go;” but Great-faith remembers the promise, “Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; as thy days, so shall thy strength be:” and so she boldly ventures. Little-faith stands desponding, mingling her tears with the flood; but Great-faith sings, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:” and she fords the stream at once. Would you be comfortable and happy? Would you enjoy religion? Would you have the religion of cheerfulness and not that of gloom? Then “have faith in God.” If you love darkness, and are satisfied to dwell in gloom and misery, then be content with little faith; but if you love the sunshine, and would sing songs of rejoicing, covet earnestly this best gift, “great faith.” C.H. Spurgeon

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Adan. We love you and miss you very much!

Thank you for your prayers

It means so much to me when someone tells me that are praying for me. When I first tell someone what has happened to our family and what we are going through, I often am asked "how do you make it through each day" or "how do you get up in the morning". My answer is always the same, "by the grace of God." He gives me the strength I need. There have been a many days when I felt that I could not go on and I have to pray through those days. I am sure that the Lord is answering your prayers when you lift me up, because He has encourgaged me so much through my bible reading and devotionals that I read.

I appreciate your continued prayer for myself and my children who need it very much also. I know that God will make a way for us. Several Sundays I have been encouraged by the song at church "God will make a way", God will make a way when there seems to be no way. He specializes in doing the impossible and I trust Him with my life.

More than a year ago

Adan disappeared on Monday, March 12. 2007, two days before he was supposed to start working with police on a Federal involving a friend of his. He left for work at 6:30 AM and that was the last time I saw him. Houston City police found the SUV he was driving at 8:30 AM, on Hwy. 59 N, near the 610 beltway in Houston, TX. Adan's jacket was the only thing found inside, the keys were gone. I believe his friend kidnapped him to keep him from working with the police on the case. I am hoping, praying, and believing that he is still alive and that the Lord will restore my family.


The last time I talked to my husband was when he kissed me and said goodbye as he walked out the door to go to work, more than a year ago. Life is difficult but the Lord helps me get through each day.

Note: If anyone, who knows me, reads this post and feels that I should have elaborated more about my husband's case here in this post and blog, please contact me and let me know, so we can talk about it and I can explain why I haven't elaborated more here about all the details about what happen to my husband. I was advised not to include every detail here and that is why I have not. I am not trying to conceal anything or be dishonest. So if anyone has a question please contact me personally.
