The Maxwell family is changing once again in big ways that will probably surprise you! The Lord brought Anna and Mary to Bible college this year (at our pastor’s recommendation) to become better equipped for ministry. It’s an exciting season for them as they have this opportunity to learn an incredible amount about the Bible and important tools for ministry/missions – where they want to end up. We miss them, but we love what they’re gaining! The Lord has led Sarah to move into her own home (just this past Saturday), wanting to experience life and ministry in that environment. She also feels it ..read more

We have some good news from our most recent appointment with my oncologist: Based on all my most recent scans, lab work, etc., my oncologist now considers me to be in full remission! I am tapering off some of my cancer-specific supplements and am only going to Kansas City twice a month now for Vitamin C IV’s. We’re still working with various supplements and dietary strategies to work on healing my gut/digestive issues, but overall I’m feeling quite good and noticing improvement as far as the bloating, etc. My blood levels are still low from chemo, but our doctor said that’s to be expected ..read more

John and Chelsy’s premie baby, Maddy, was released from the NICU on Thursday to go home. She is doing well. John and Chelsy were thrilled to introduce Maddy’s big brothers to her in person. She is about two weeks from her due date.  We are grateful for the Lord bringing Maddy through her early birth and the weeks in the NICU and for the care she received there. It was a long, tough couple of months for John and Chelsy, but they came through it well. We observed them navigating the emotions, disappointments, and hardships with the Lord’s strength and His help. Thank you for praying for Ma ..read more

We delight to see your love for Jesus and desire to serve Him with your life. Your joy in children’s ministry and investment in the children is inspiring. You are always ready to pitch in and help. I remember when you were little and determined you would NOT have a grumbly, complaining spirit, and you don’t! We hope you have a wonderful birthday and a blessed year of loving and serving Jesus. “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world” (Galatians 6:14 ..read more

At 36 weeks now, Maddy continues to grow, develop, and make improvements. She was taken off oxygen on Sunday and is doing well. She still has some of those Bradys, where she stops breathing for a short bit. She needs to go 5 consecutive days without a Brady to be eligible to go home. She is also learning to take her nutrition herself.  Thank you for your continued prayers for her health and development. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:30 ..read more

Oh how grateful to the Lord Jesus I am for His gift of Teri to me 47 years ago. Our God has continued to grow her and strengthen her as He has used her in so many lives, especially mine. No pretense, no show, just a simple desire to be used as His child. I’m so grateful for this dear woman. She has been my delight for 47 years (it’s also our anniversary). There have been difficult times, but God has proved Himself faithful, always. This is a happy day as we celebrate her birthday. It will be a good day. I’m so very blessed to have her as my helpmeet, and best friend. Happy Birthday my dear wif ..read more

The other night Madeline had her first bottle. She took a tiny amount (11ml), which was really good for her stage. She worked hard to drink her milk and slept soundly after that.  They tried taking her off oxygen this week, but her lungs hadn’t matured enough for that yet. She is still on a little bit of oxygen. We are praying she can get off the oxygen and stay off.  Thank you for your prayers. We praise the Lord for how well Madeline is doing in the NICU and the great care she receives. She is 35 weeks now so still needs development before she can go home – which we are all lookin ..read more

Today is Steve’s 70th birthday, but he has already had a very special 70th birthday party. Anna and Mary secretly started months ago to find a time that all our children and grandchildren could gather for a birthday party. They scheduled a surprise party for the evening of Saturday, July 24th. In the end, sweet little Madeline changed that plan so she and Chelsy were missed, but all the others were there, in addition to friends. The family provided a delicious Mexican feast with Steve’s favorite dessert, pumpkin pie. The highlight was an open mic where the family took turns sharing memories an ..read more

From the blog post about my mom (whom we call Gigi at her request to keep grandmas from being too confusing for little children) and her 89th birthday, we had this suggestion: I was wondering if you could share the ways Gigi is investing in your family still? As a child my grandparents didn’t invest my life so I have no examples. I want to invest in my grandchildren’s lives but I lack the know-how. So if I could know some of the ways she is investing in her grand children and great grand children that would give me some ideas. Since her grandchildren are all grown now, these are ways that Gigi ..read more
