We may be at back a square one but God is already completed the task.  We have a long journey ahead.  It is difficult for me but I am being stretched like never before.  I am praying for answers and strategies.  With the emotional, physical, spiritual drain, there are financial and resourcing questions that are emerging as well.

On Sunday, Northwest Prep Report launched a Facebook Page to offer the community a way to share their support for the Thomas family.
