these people are a couple of my heros. this is my sister renee and her family. a few years back they rescued their niece from a very bad family situation and it has been a battle ever since to save her and keep her. they have been disowned my most of their family because of it.
today the battle ended. through years of prayer and grace and miracles provided by God, onjya is now their daughter and my new niece!
i applaud them for not giving up the fight when it was so dark and hard and for selflessly bringing this child into their family. can you even imagine... they now have 3 teenagers living in their small home all at one time. for that alone they deserve a metal.
a friend of mine has a quote that i love, it is, 'do something.'
i honor you chuck & renee. you have.
so here they are, a few of my heros. the older lady is chuck's grandmother who is the one person in his family who has supported them in this. i know it is an honor for them to have her standing by their side.
It's official! We are a family of 5!
God is good!

congratulations to the new pedley family!
Your blog is humbling to say the least. Thank you, very much.
My biggest down over the entire event is that You and Bill weren't able to be there to see it first hand. You guys have been so supportive in so many ways throughout this period, that it would have only been fitting for you to see closure to this exciting and emotional period of our lives.
Renee' and I are both placing our bets that we will be able to meet soon (Hopefully at Disney)
Blessings,
Chuck
