Welcome

THIS IS THE REAL LIFE DOCUMENTARY OF....

Faith and Fear...

Trust and Doubt...

Ups and Downs...

A God that still performs miracles...

A 1-pound baby girl and 3-pound baby boy...

This is our story; this is our life.

**************************************

In the race of life, God our heavenly Father has come alongside us through the person of the Holy Spirit. And

~when we think we can't go one more step,

~when the race becomes painful beyond endurance,

~when our hearts feel heavy,

~when our minds become dull,

~when our spirits are burned out,

we have the comforter who comes alongside us, puts His everlasting arms around us, and gently walks with us.

Fariss Family Physical Fitness...

It is really awesome that our babies are trying so hard to be like their mom and me. Jennifer and I have always tried to incorporate fitness and a healthy lifestyle in to our day-to-day routine. It seems that both Dylan and Kaylan are trying to pick up on this already.

I went to the gym this morning and ran my normal 5-mile Tuesday workout. The D-Man has been very active as well. His workout routine includes a few minutes of kick-boxing finishing up with some mixed-martial arts. Kaylan is not as active (yet), and she prefers a more subtle routine. Her workout regimen involves yoga and pilates. She uses her routine to channel positive energy and maintain a calm presence. And Jen, well in spite of her being on "partial bed rest", she still finds the patience to be the "gym" that has been facilitating their workouts. Some people think the athlete is only as good as their training facility, so our babies have a membership at the best gym God could make for them.

Tomorrow is our next appointment with the specialist. We will get to see what progress has been made over the past 7 days. Last week, we were praying for any amount of growth; God gave us a miracle. This week we are praying for God to reveal that same miracle to us again. May God show us more of his faithfulness and grace. And may Kaylan continue to be a living (soon-to-be breathing) testimony of the power of prayer and God's goodness!!

Landon, I love the gym analogy, and the image of a very zen Kaylan. :)
