2024 Year in a Recap

And just like that, another year has come to an end! This is our first full year in Florida. It was a year full of blessings, new beginnings, and challenges.

Before we head into this year’s updates, here are the previous year’s updates; it’s incredible to watch the kids change from year to year (I’m not going to mention how much we age, ha!):

Here’s the 2024 video recap. Don’t forget to subscribe to our personal YouTube Channel.

Tim-

My husband is still working with me at Valentina’s Corner and helping me run it. We absolutely love working together. It’s definitely not for everyone, but we sure love it.
Tim went on a mission trip to Mexico with our youth this year. He missed the mission field, but with the move and trying to get settled, he wasn’t able to.

Valentina-

This year has been the most I have traveled to speak at conferences and retreats. God has opened the most incredible doors.
It is such an honor to serve in the Kingdom of God. The connections that you make through Kingdom friendships are incredible. If you w
So many testimonies of lives changed—testimonies of physical healing and healing of the soul. Testimonies of marriages restored and families reconciled. Thank you, Jesus. You are worthy of all the glory!

Benjamin: Benjamin had ACL surgery last year, and he spent most of this year recovering from it. He also went on a mission trip to Romania.
Joseph: In January, our second son, Joseph, went to Bible School for four months. He enjoyed his time there, and we highly recommend the school. You can find more information on their website: Great Commission Missionary School.
There, he got baptized; here’s the video of his Baptism.

Once he was done with Bible School, he went on a mission trip to Romania. It was quite the year for him. He is officially home and has begun working and starting his adult life. Watching your children grow up and become responsible young adults is so sweet.

Elizabeth: We tried homeschooling Elizabeth last year. Though we loved it, she went back to school this year. It is a small Christian school, and she is thriving. She is in 9th grade. Miss Elizabeth serves in the kids’ department at our church this year.

Nathaniel is in the same school as Elizabeth. This year, he played soccer, and we really enjoyed watching him play. He is in 7th grade.

Abigail is in 5th grade this year, Elijah started kindergarten this year, and Seraphima is home with us for the last year. Next year will be quite the transition, as we will have all of the kids in school.
