“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”

We have had so many good and perfect gifts rain down from heaven already! We received many sacrificial and generous gifts from family, friends, and brother and sisters in the faith–some of which we’ve never even met personally.  Recently, we received the gift of a home to stay rent-free only 10 minutes away from the hospital! A few days I posted about another gift we received in the form of good news from the medical staff regarding Josh disease and donor search.

Yesterday, as I was feeling overwhelmed with how I am going to care for Josh and the boys during the entire treatment up on Portland–we received another wonderful gift and answer to prayer… a sweet and mature young woman named Katelynn from Josh’s prior youth ministry in Arizona offered to be a live-in nanny for the boys only asking for room & board.  The boys spend much time with her over the three years we spend in Arizona. Nathan grew up with Katelynn.  We are very excited and thankful to her and her family for their willingness to called by God in this way.  It’s a ministry to our family that we pray the Lord blesses her and our children through.
