-This new school year, for the students, families, and teachers
-Isaac’s friends and family
-Dorcas continues to be in recovery from chemotherapy treatment, she requires monthly medication that costs $300 to continue her healing
-That Noah and I’s marriage would be a blessing to both us and others as we seek to grow, learn, and lean on Christ
