Losiah

Posted on 26. Jul, 2006 by loswhit in Family

So Heather and I have been waiting for our “assignment” to come from South Korea. Waiting for months to find out who will be joining our family. I am sitting in a Days Inn parking lot in Oakhurst, CA because we just got a phone call from our social worker that we have been assigned. PRAISE GOD!!! God is shining bright upon us right now. We are overjoyed.
Ragamuffins.
Meet MY SON…Baek Dae-Selok (Korean Name)
His new name will be Losiah. ;)
We are unsure as to which Korean names to incorporate. We will decide soon.

    Hi Carlos:
    I attended your work shop on Bolgs and podcasts at the Saddleback worship conference. I have been pretty busy since the conference. My dad has been very ill with lung cancer and he passed away last Wednesday. I am officiating his memorial service this Saturday. I finalyl got around to setting up a blog at blogger.com. My site name is surfdudepastor. Since I am really new to this I will accept and apprecaite any advice or constructive critism you might have to offer. I am sure you are really busy wiht the new baby and all so I will not expect any immediate response.
    God Bless
    Sheldon

    Congratulations! He’s adorible. Next time you do a conference with us, you’ll have to bring him so we can meet him. DJ and are are thinking of coming out to Sandals to say hi sometime in the next few weeks. Blessings on your new little addition … adoption is an amazing picture of the gopsel. It’s a picture that the culture around us can actually understand – what an amazing oppertunity to share with others and what an amazing story he will be able to tell one day.

    Los Bro,

    That kid is goodness. I see him as a keyboardist sporting many bandanas while on stage. 80’s style, tied around the hip and arm and what not. Anyways, my Reese and Casey will have to be buds with you Losiah, Beak Dae Selok Jamile Obidiah Matthew Hank Williams Jr. Jonathon Abraham Genesis Leviticus Samuel L. Jackson Whittaker.

    Honestly? I’m crying right now. What a precious, precious little boy…and what a precious family he’s going to be a part of. His life and his future have just been radically altered. Suddenly, through no effort of his own, he is a part of a loving family. He’s gone from having a life with little hope to a life filled with hope. He’ll have sisters to walk with him through life.He’ll now know the tender love of a mother and the strong love of a father.

    Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration.

  20. Robin 26 July 2006 at 6:52 pm #

    Congrats!!!! I am so excited for you guys…he is absolutely adorable…and no one, except his Maker, will ever love him more than you two. Congrats again.

  21. Rick 26 July 2006 at 7:48 pm #

    Wow, Los, this is so awesome. Your family has truly been blessed. Many, many prayers of joy and thanksgiving for all of you.

    Hey, when you get a chance, how about posting how you went about getting an “assignment” like this. Who knows, you may inspire one of your loyal listeners/readers to do the same.
