A Journey of Grace
Celebrating 16 Years of God's Faithfulness
A Gift of Joy
Sixteen years ago, we were blessed with a precious gift. From the moment she entered our lives, she has been a beacon of pure joy and a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Her laughter is infectious, her smile lights up every room, and her presence reminds us daily of the simple, profound beauty of life.
Despite the unique challenges she faces, she navigates the world with a resilience that inspires everyone who knows her. She teaches us patience, unconditional love, and the importance of cherishing every single moment.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
- Jeremiah 29:11
Walking in Faith
The past 16 years have been a journey of faith and perseverance. There have been mountains to climb and valleys to cross, but through it all, we have never walked alone. We have witnessed miracles, both great and small, and felt the comforting hand of God guiding us every step of the way
Every milestone achieved is a victory, not just of her determination, but of God's sustaining grace. We celebrate not just a birthday, but a story of survival, growth, and the overwhelming power of love.
A Thanksgiving
On this occasion, our hearts are filled with deep gratitude. We thank God for His mercies, renewed each morning. We also express our sincere appreciation for the community of friends, Vanessa’s school teachers and staff, and the family who have loved her, cared for her, supported us, prayed with us, and rejoiced with us.
Most of all, we thank Him for her. She is our greatest teacher and our deepest joy. As we look forward to the future, we do so with hope, knowing that the One who began a good work in her will carry it on to completion.
