A Kick Start for the New Year!

Here is our last family picture taken in 2012!

2013 started off a little more unusual than originally expected.  Grandma Wolfe fractured her hip while at our house and they ended up staying almost the entire month.  It was very precious to watch the concern the boys had for Grandma and to listen to the sweet prayers they lifted to their Heavenly Father.  The boys also loved having Grandpa around to play and read with.  We are thankful that Grandma is on the road to healing and now in a facility back in Michigan where she is only 2 blocks away from their home!

We also wrapped up our Hand in Hand matching grant.  To our surprise, there was a last minute anonymous donor.  By using friends, family, and Hand-in-Hand, God has amazingly provided the grand total to be $10,365!  Thank you so much to everyone who has partnered with us. 

Listed below is the total the amount we have fundraised for Boaz so far.  We are swept away by God’s provision (and I get goose bumps every time I look at it!).  We pray that you will also be blessed by these numbers.
