two amazing families

a quick post to encourage you to check out our friends' blog... dusty & kenzie stanfield are friends of ours from our sunday school class at second baptist - they have a son named deacon & kenzie gave birth to their 2nd son, maddox, yesterday... sadly, at 18 weeks in utero he was diagnosed with trisomy 18 & spina bifida - so they have known that his life would be brief , yet blessed. he lived only a minute or two but his story will touch your heart. you will be so encouraged to read kenzie's posts - the testimony that they have is amazing.

also, a sweet couple from our sunday school class at bear creek baptist, travis & jennifer black, discovered some earth-shattering news the night of dec. 15th... travis had a brain tumor the size of a fist at his brain stem. they successfully removed 100% of the tumor but his pathology report came back that it was malignant, grade 3. their journey of faith has inspired me and i know it will you, too...

please keep both of these sweet families in your prayers as their battles are ongoing. thanks friends. love you.
