G'day from WOL Oz 1993 class member - Posted: January 24, 2008
by Sharon Young - 1993
I haven't read all the posts on here, but think I may be the first one from my class to do a news entry. Not much point updating you all on what's happened since WOL, as you don't know me, yet! I look forward to reading more of your posts as time permits. Hello Class of 1977 - Posted: January 24, 2008 by Debbie ( Hodges) Earl - 1976 , 1977 Hello to all my fellow classmates. I have been busy raising three adopted children. I am so thankful to God that He closed my womb, and gave my husband and I these three wonderful children. At the age of 40 years old God saw the secret desire in my heart to have children. So my husband and I adopted two girls from China, and a boy from the state of Ohio. Our oldest daughter was 13 years old when we adopted her from China, and she is now 20 years old. Her name is Shae JiangBo, and she attends a christian college. Shae had never even heard of God until she came to America. Praise be to God Shae has come to know our Saviour! Our two youngest children my husband and I adopted as babies. Tylee Jade came from China at 7 months old weighing only 9.6 pounds, and she is now a healthy 9 year old girl. Our son Casey Edward was an Ohio adoption. My husband, and I were blessed to be in the delivery room with him, and he is now an energetic 9 year old boy. We have an open adoption with his birthparents which has been wonderful. The two youngest children are inseparable, and since they were raised as babies together are a lot like twins. My husband and I just had our 13 year anniversary. God has been so good to us. Before we had children I had my husband take me back to Word of Life so I could reminisce. The only thing that changed was that all my 1977 buddies weren't there. So I'm sure hoping to hear from some of you, and to hear what the Lord's been doing in your lives. I have great memories of my Word of Life days! Blessing to all of you.

The Lord blessed us greatly in that we found a wonderful church in only 4 weeks and that it was only minutes away! We have settled in and are making friends in our devlopment. Wayne is looking for another job as the one that he took has not turned out to be what we thought it would. The last 2 years have definitely had it's trials and difficult times but praise the Lord He has seen us through and we give him all the glory. Our third baby Logan has arrived. - Posted: January 23, 2008 by Mrs. Bria Ashley Phillips (Cadwallader) - 2002 Hey everyone. I am so sorry I haven't been on lately and haven't written some of you back. Life has been crazy here lately! Well as some of you already know, I went into the hospital on Friday the 11th, with some contractions and some heart issues. Nothing serious just didn't feel right! But we got to the hospital around 2:00 pm. and such started labor :( ouch!!!!!! And let me tell you little Logan is a stubborn one :) he did not want to come out. The labor itself wasn't to to bad..... I got the epideral around 4:00 am..... and so glad I did.... But anyways Logan didn't arrive until 1:28 pm. The next day on the 12th. So it was almost a full 24 hrs. in labor. But it was all worth it :) And thankfully I only pushed for 4 mins. 2 good pushes and he was here! He weighed 7lbs. 6 oz. and was 20 inches long. Oh and did I mention that he was born on Addie's birthday.... What's the likes of that. I was kinda bummed at first but it's actually kinda exciting saying you have 2 kids born on the same day! And even crazier less than an hour apart....And what better birthday present than a baby brother :) Well anyways we left the hospital and headed home on mon. afternoon. it has been an adjustment to having 3 little ones in the house but both Ethan and Addie have been wonderful through all of this and Ethan is really a big help. He seems so big now, with having a newborn around. Also I am so thankfull Jonathan has been off of work all week. He has been amazing, I couldn't have been blessed with a better man! God gave me a good one :) Well Logan is doing great at home as well, and is adjusting well. He already is sleeping about 6 hours solid a night! Which is amazing! And he is eating well and is just a complete joy to have around. It amazes me how much you can love such a little thing that has been around less than a week. I couldn't imagine life with out him now. So over all everything is going wonderful.... We are now a very happy family of 5 :) And thank you everyone so much for your thoughts and prayers, we really appreciate everything. Well love you all. Love, Bria And you can always e-mail me at silverivory@aol.com, I would love to hear from some of you... and if you wanna see pics. you can look at them on my myspace page. Josh Ewing Home with the Lord - Posted: January 15, 2008 by Jason Perkins - 2000 Please be in prayer for the Ewing family as their son, Josh, went Home to be with the Lord on Saturday. Also pray for his fiancée, Jen. Josh had been battling with leukemia for a year. He graduated from Word of Life Bible Institute – 1st year – 2004; 2nd year – 2005. The Memorial Service for Josh will be at 10 am on Saturday, January 19, at Faith Baptist Church in Wilmington, DE. Hello - Posted: January 11, 2008 by Andrea Zint - 2003 Hey guys, Ever have days that you wish you were back in the bubble? And the biggest thing you had to worry about is if you went to dinner or not? Just sitting here at work, thinking about WOLBI, hard to believe that I have been out of school for almost 5 years. Where has the time gone? I hope that this new year brings about lots of new things. I've love to catch up with everyone, and that may just have to wait until the other side of Heaven!! PRAY for JOSH EWING, JEN CRAGO, FAMILIES - Posted: January 7, 2008 by Rebekah Rineer - 2002 , 2003 Please pray for Josh Ewing and Jen Crago and their families. Josh has been battling Leukemia since the beginning of 2007. God is fully capable of doing a miracle in Josh's body, but if He decides not to heal him here on earth, Josh will be completely and totally healed in Heaven in the near future. Thankful in 2008 - Posted: January 5, 2008 by Laura (Haggarty) and Ian Gilpatric - 1995 , 1996 hello to you all. What a blessing it has been to read about the changes in everyones lives. God has certainly been faithful to us here in Maine. We are, however, extreamly greatful for His Hand of Mercy in this new year. Ian was on his way to a job interview when he was hit by a sleeping driver. Thankfully the kids were with the sitter as the back got hit hard. Ian is very sore, but he is alive and we are blessed by that. Our truck, well that is another story. Praising the Lord today in Maine for life. Would love ot hear from anyone who remembers me (maybe I am best known as Haggarty to those who remember me).
