Joanne

It has been awesome to read about the wonderful things that God is doing in Joanne's life. Last night she tweeted (am I saying that right?) for the first time and has now posted on her blog! AMAZING!!! She has a long road ahead of her but with God All things are possible. I am praying daily for Joanne, Toben (her husband), Audrey (12 year old daughter), and Emma (10 year old daughter). Her sister Kristin is a fabulous photographer and has been updating her blog KH Photography with not only gorgeous photos that bring me to tears, but a beautiful heart that walks you through the journey that God is bringing their family through.
Thank you Lord for these families. I ask that as they walk through this valley that Your presence is felt so strongly.
