Knouf Christmas Letter 2019

Knouf Christmas Letter 2019 For those reading this letter, our prayer is that you find yourself in the center of God’s will. That may mean you need to first accept Him as your personal Saviour, it may mean that you need to come back to him, but it only takes one step and that is towards Him. He has open arms waiting for you.  With that said, our family by the grace of God has been endeavoring to serve the Lord this year. We have met some obstacles that have caused heartache, and pain but we have also experienced amazing mountain tops full of showers of Blessings. Most of you follow us on social media so I know you have seen the blessings that have come our way. With life, we work so hard year by year to please our flesh and we live each year as if this is the only life we are going to live. One thing that has pressed upon our heart more and more as the years fly by, is that we have another life we are going to get to live. In that life, it is Eternal (No End), in this

Haden's Healing

Haden’s Healing I guess he didn't like the suit? Holding my 6 mos baby and feeling him go limp and unresponsive with blue around his lips was the first time we realized something was wrong with our precious baby. The Nine years Haden has been on this earth has been met with some obstacles,  “He” as an individual and ‘We” as a family have had to overcome. The news “Your child has Epilepsy” was very hard to hear, especially when it was met by medication and side effects along with invasive testing. As a Mother and Father of eight additional children, you can imagine this news also took a toll on them as well. As a mother, I dove deep into studying Epilepsy, to know as much about it as possible. I also as a Home educator tried to teach Haden’s siblings as much as I could about this disease. Months turned into years and I was less nervous about Haden having Epilepsy, most of his seizures were absence seizure  (staring type of seizures). Some years later, We found out his lesion

My Five Year Journey Finding time to create a post seems to be my struggle these days. I have wanted to sit down and create so many different post for my neglected blog but the business of life prevents me! Five years ago, I accepted a position at Hope Academy Charter as a Teacher. My children had been  home-schooled up to that point, and they were excited to come to work with Mom and get to be in a “real” school as they put it. As we drove up to this cute little campus with a bell tower, I said to the kids in the car, “One day, I am going to be the Principal of this place”. Lol  Well that mission was basically accomplished! (If you read this post you will get the long version) Fast forward five years later and what feels like 20 years of stress, I decided to make a career jump and go back to what I have always been meant to do. Being a Wife and Mom! How is that a career jump?  I am working from home as an Education Specialist for Summit Academy Charter .We began praying th

Knouf Family Christmas Newsletter November 22, 2017 God has been so good to our family! It has been a long time! Traditionally, I use to write a Christmas letter, however I have failed to do so for a few years now. Part of the reason has been the change of how social media seems to keep us all connected more than ever. Truthfully the main reason has been that I have been too busy to even take time to write such a letter. Rewind back to 2014, Jon and I were going through a time of soul searching with our finances. As many of you know,  we have always had a strong belief that staying home with the children was where I should be. Pami was getting older and having children that could now help with her care it was decided that I needed to help with the financial support of maintaining a family of our size. We began to seek the Lord for guidance in this decision, ironically while I began working with my parents at creating a cleaning business of our own, we would listen to Dave Ra

Prayers for Haden  Two weeks from tomorrow October 23 at 8 AM Haden will have his surgery. We are praying for a miracle that when they go in to do the MRI prior to surgery they will no longer see the lesion in his brain.  We have been giving him supplements that are supposed to help heal the brain and fruits and vegetables pills to help his nutrition because his eating is extremely poor.  We have seen a major decrease in his seizure activity which is an answer to prayer. At this point they’re making sure he has enough blood on hand as well as plasma because the medication he takes does lower his platelets.  I will have information Monday about donating blood and plasma on his behalf if you are interested.  Basically, pray for a miracle but if this is the path God chooses, pray for wisdom for all his doctors and that he will not have any problems or complications from the first surgery.  Once the first surgery is over he will be monitored for seizures to
