They met because of perfect timing. And while the joy of new life and news of cancer came for her all at once, their faithfulness in the continued purpose of God’s timing is one of the most inspiring stories I’ve heard and had the honor to capture.
Between these three family units, the patriarchs + two daughters and their families, each one has moved into a different home or state in the past year. Both sisters had babies within a few weeks of each other, they lost a family dog, both husbands started new jobs, grandparents entered retirement, and the oldest grandchild is hitting toddler life full steam ahead. So Christmas looked really different this year than it did last year.
They bought a house when they were newly married, excited for the opportunity it held and the family that would fill it. 5 kids later, they were ready for an upgrade, but the house wouldn’t sell. For 2 years. Finally, the right person and the right timing fell into place and they sold their first home – but were still searching for their forever.
