“Often times life can put you in a situation where all you can do is look up and trust! This past week was for sure one of those times. @young_concrete who NEVER complained or doubted Christ’s plan the entire time, was faced with a life threatening obstacle. He had a ruptured artery that caused internal bleeding in his stomach that happened out of nowhere with no warning. As we hoped and prayed for the hospital staff to find the location and cause of the blood loss.. we almost lost this tremendously strong person. But through pleas, sobbing and prayers all we could do was look up and trust. After many tests, a blood transfusion, and a procedure they found the location and were able to clamp the artery and save Matayo’s life!
He now is back home recovering well, graduated high school, & committed and signed to the University of Oregon.

I just want to say that not all Christmas gifts are found wrapped up under the tree… sometimes they are found in the most simple, unconventional, out of the blue kind of ways… and some may come with hurt & suffering. Please hold each day of your life dear and I pray you may be able to find one thing to be thankful for…

But we hope you know that Jesus Christ is the most amazing gift of all and HE LOVES You more then you could possibly imagine.
We wish you a Merry Christmas”

We also wish Matayo a speedy recovery during this time.
