We just wanted to say hello and thank you for your financial gift last month! We have been in awe of how God continually provides for our needs; financially, spiritually and relationally through the church family. We have specifically enjoyed spending Sunday mornings watching the WBC kids program each week.
Our winter was full of lots of snow and outdoor activities; our family tried skiing together for the first time. It was a neat experience to watch the kids go from knowing nothing (and wanting to give up at times) to going down hills on their own and asking when we can go next.
At camp, Josh has kept working and between lockdowns we were able to host a wedding and 2 retreats as well as some youth events. Deanna set up a clothing swap store at camp and people came shopping for free during the month of March. We were also able to be involved in separate Bible studies and really enjoyed connecting with people during this time. We are thankful for each season and the differences they bring. Spring has been quieter but we're planning, preparing and really hoping for camp to happen this summer!
Our immediate future is in our prayers as we come to the last stretch of our initial commitment at camp. There's lots to consider but we know that God's will for all of us is who we are and the process of sanctification in our lives.
Jorden, (Josh's brother who was diagnosed with brain cancer 5 years ago) has been steadily declining the past few months. It's been a slow process of grieving as we watch him. While we've been so thankful for the extra special times it's really hard to see an able-bodied guy not able to do normal things for himself or carry a conversation. We would appreciate your prayers and/or advice as we navigate this final part of the journey.
God's word tells us to be thankful over and over again in many different verses. He created us and knows us best so it must be for our good to do this. Whatever we're experiencing, let's keep choosing to be thankful no matter how we feel each day. It can shift our perspective and bring joy in any circumstance.
Josh & Deanna Blight
