Excitement of One Year Ago!
I can't believe a year has gone by since Mikaela was hospitalized and eventually airlifted to Portland for a severe case of pneumonia. God was gracious in her life and restored her to full health. In fact I think somehow through the whole ordeal she gained more energy! Praise God for His faithfulness and sustaining grace in the moment of trial (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

some recent pics
Just thought I would share some recent pictures. Next post will cover The Elisha Foundation retreat which we just returned from!

Braden sucks eveything in sight, including himself
can you see the resemblance? . . . except for the severely crooked nose, which I expect them to have several years into rugby, basketball, figure skating, whatever

The Elisha Foundation
We have the privilege of serving on the board of a non-profit organization known as The Elisha Foundation (TEF). This organization was created by our good friends Justin and Tamara Reimer, and it's purpose is to minister and encourage families who are caring for people with special needs. There is much I could say about how the Lord has used TEF to open our eyes to this community of people which is severely neglected, and over the course of the next month I will attempt to post some of how God has challenged, convicted, and changed me through our involvement.
Mikaela's interaction with a very special boy, and cancer survivor as well!

My purpose in writing tonight is to let those who read this know TEF is hosting a family retreat beginning tomorrow. Eight families will experience the unique ministry offered, and we would covet your prayers for the families attending, and also the volunteers who are serving.
Please visit the following link to learn more about TEF and the vision behind it: www.theelishafoundation.org/
Below are some images from the last function we had.
