Consistent care & love...

Where to start. I feel like our family has been in the bosom of Malmo for the last four years. Can I say bosom? With all the prayers and financial support for extra medical care and all the meals and people looking after our kids and people randomly dropping off thoughtful gifts (like Chai Latte and cinnamon buns), the consistent actions of love is overwhelming.

Blessings and challenges...

2016 has been a year of many blessings and of course some challenges too. My biggest concern for this year was sending my son off to Kindergarten.

A supportive church family...

2016 has been a difficult year personally, walking the road of grief. Sometimes alone because I chose to.

He is ready, able, and willing to walk with me through all life’s circumstances.
