Here is an update on what is going on with my dad.
He is loved by us. All the time.
He has admitting to his siblings that he needs help.
He flew to Lynden, WA and interrupted my mom's vacation. Not only was this a silly idea, it was illegal. He can be thankful that my mom has such hope that she didn't call the police and have him arrested.
He is meeting today at 3:30 with Pastor Tom. Pastor Tom is our addiction counselor and the man who wrote up the contract that we presented to dad at our intervention. I know that my God is in the miracle business, He is the great physician, He can change hearts with one whisper, He is the comforter to the hurting. He has the power to soften dad's heart and have dad sign the contract. Dad wants to write his own treatment plan. We are against this. He may chart his own course, but then he still won't have contact with the family. He has done this many times and every time, the addict in him won the battle. Our contract removes any holes that Dan the addict could find.
So, would you please. . . if you read this today (10-28) please pray for my dad at 3:30? You can even pray for him before and after! Please, let's all go before God's throne and ask over and over for Him to bring dad to complete surrender and then to completely restore him. God can do it!

I am praying!
I was lead here to read this at 3:36... I'm praying (I'm the friend of Kate's and know Kevin from the Grounds)...
oh, shanda! we all love him so much and really want this to be real. praying is the only way to break his will and give God all the control. addiction is such a serious, powerful thing and he probably hates that it has control over him like it does-i'm sure the guilt is overwhelming!! i will continue to pray for this dear man and his incredible family. love to you ALL!
Yes, we to are praying.
so thankful to have had the oppurtunity to spend a few days with your mom. she is a saint!! she is REAL and honest. open and in a sense, raw. it was a blessing to me to have spent this time with her!! my heart breaks with you and yours and yet, in all of this, there is HOPE. hoping you feel our prayers and our love!
