On a chilly fall Sunday late in the afternoon I met up with the Momotyuk Family for some fun family pictures. This wonderfully sweet family is from the Ukraine--I had the privilege of working with Valentina at Compassion International about 7 years ago & that's how I met her and her precious family. During this time of working with her I learned of a tragic car accident that would forever change their lives---on July 28th, 2003. Their son Erik (now 15)was ejected from the vehicle & trapped underneath it. Due to the severity of his injuries he has gone through 38 surgeries up to date & still faces many more!!! They have undergone more than I could ever imagine & yet their faith is so very, very strong! Such a testimony to God's sovereignty & their obedience to trust in him. It was sooo neat to see Erik again & hear of his current accomplishments...he is freshman in High School at Liberty, plays the piano & just received his driver's permit. God's mercy abounds & this family is living proof of it. I was so blessed to take their pictures & LOVED spending time with them. May God continue to heal, bless & show his unconditional love to your family!!!
Many Blessings,
Courtney
