A Fall Fairytale

www.momazine.com

From the Editors

Each season with Momazine is an exciting new adventure. Always at the forefront of our thoughts and dreams with each issue is this idea of childhood exaggerated. Lauryn and I could not think of a better way to portray this notion than with fairy tales. Page by page, we invite you to dream with us as you did as a child. Get lost in Neverland! Run through the forest in Red Riding Hood. Dance by light of the moon in The Owl and the Pussy Cat. You will also find the characters in each tale serve as an inspiration for Halloween costumes unlike any other! As always with each issue you will find simplicity. Thanksgiving brings you easy and affordable ways to turn a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s table setting into a fun way to pass the time before dinner or glitter pumpkins to adorn the table with year after year. In Baking with the Jones, you will find simple and affordable recipes that are easy to make and are fun to do as a family. There is so much to share and many details for you to discover. This issue was truly a pleasure to create. We are so excited you are here with us again as we continue to make our dreams a reality, in Momazine.

Meet the

Photography by Kim Adams | Kim Adams Photography Article | Jaime Compton

Have you ever met someone that

has moved you to stop and re-examine your life, question your priorities, and inspire you to look deep within yourself? Most often it is uncomfortable to look at oneself and determine whether you are doing your share in God’s eyes.. Questions arise like, how will I ever be worthy of such a gift given to us in Christ’s death and resurrection, as our salvation? Will I ever be able to do enough to help others? After meeting the Saints recently I have discovered you take it one day at a time. Through the ways in which they live their lives I have learned you answer where and when God calls. My priest’s homily was not lost on me a few Sundays ago even though I took three trips to the bathroom with my three year old to gain control of his less than savory church behavior. Yet, I still managed to tune in when he spoke about what it means to participate in your Christianity. He began his message with a story of a young parishioner whose parents were very unhappy with him. Father suggested that the boy take action instead of waiting to be told what to do. Early one Sunday morning, the boy took his wise

advice and cut the grass before his parents had a chance to ask him. Obviously this had the desired affect and the boy’s parents were very pleased. From thence, numerous ways were mentioned in which a person could go above and beyond to help others. Father Pat suggested some minister to the sick or pick up a shift at the soup kitchen, take dinner to their neighbors or lead a Bible study. As Father pointed out these ways in which a person can actively take part in what it means to follow Christ; I began to question myself. Does painting the Happy Hearts birthday chair count or how about signing up for room mom at my boys’ schools? Was I doing enough to help others without God having to ask me? Then, I meet Jessica Saint and the entirety of my Church homily the previous Sunday came to fruition. Here is Jessica Saint, a mother to six beautiful girls that has found herself answering God’s calling, often. Most recently His calling has led Jessica and her husband Jaime to a mother and her children in need of a loving home and support without judgment. The Saint Family for the time being has grown from eight to twelve as they help care for the mother and her three children. As

the interview progresses, one of the small children Jessica and Jamie are now responsible for helping, happily plays around us. I watch her gently pat his back and smile as he makes his way to us on the couch. Jessica mentions that hopefully the seeds of faith will become planted in those

people and God, I found myself not wanting to leave. There was more I wanted to hear, or rather I needed to hear. As humble people typically do (thinking Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not one of these types), Jessica Saint most certainly downplays her role as a mother of six. On a good day with my two children I find myself biting my nails to the quick and stepping up my Sudoku puzzle activity as an approach to dealing with stress. Her, not so much, instead she sews and creates gorgeous things (like converting a Target table cloth into an entire set of curtains in the kitchen).

VISION

entrusted to her care, if only for a short while she has the opportunity to plant them. As ironies would go, this one act is of enormous measure because that small seed the Saints plant in those around them can grow into eternal life through Christ and so my Happy Hearts birthday chair pales in comparison. I find myself, in the midst of conversation, examining my own life. So with her soft and humbling words about loving

Throughout the summer, her husband Jaime traveled on Vision trips to Ecuador, Bolivia, and Africa as she managed all six Saint Girls by herself. The Saints prefer to call their travels VISION TRIPS instead of Mission trips. Mission trips often create a dependency on those in need of help whereas VISION TRIPS, like those that Jaime Saint embarks on, create independence by teaching those less fortunate how to care for themselves. Jaime

is grateful to his wife Jessica for handling things so well when he takes such long and far away trips. When I met with him, Jaime described Jessica in our interview with a glimmer in his eye and a smile upon his face, as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;strong womanâ&#x20AC;? who takes excellent care of their girls As I continued to learn in my journey, meeting the Saints was one of those moments in life where you come to know God is truly present and has an active role in leading you places. My interview began in the coziest of homes (with a beautifully hand upholstered Chevron chair I might add). That interview moved me to contemplate what I have done or should I say, have not done enough to help others around me. I then found myself asking this very same question in an airport hangar located at the Dunnellon airport filled with beautiful things you would only find in the Amazon Rain Forest. You know, things like a very large snake skin (perhaps a 16 foot long snake) and a blowgun constructed by the hands of an indigenous tribe member.

minute breakdown of events that began some fifty or more years ago with Jaime Saint’s grandfather, Nate Saint. His grandfather, Nate Saint, managed to befriend one of the most violent tribes in the Amazon Rainforest in an attempt to bring the Gospel to them. In doing so, Nate and four other men lost their lives in an unfortunate turn of events that eventually lead his sister to live among this very same tribe that killed her brother. Rachel Saint lived with the Waodani tribe until her death in 1994. However, two years after Rachel went back into live with the

As luck would have it (and a very understanding hair stylist willing to change my appointment), I pulled into the hangar parking lot for the interview with Jaime and had plenty of time to spare. My early arrival served as an advantage by allowing me to examine all the unique finds that lay before me. It is not every day you actually come upon flying cars or an exotic Leopard’s skin. All of these finds are in the lobby and hangar at I-TEC where I waited. Prior to this meeting, Jaime and I had not met but it was quite easy to spot him as he entered ITEC. While chatting with Jessica, their twin daughters were home from preschool that afternoon and it is quite apparent they share their tribe, Jaime Saint’s father, father’s eyes. Steven Saint, got to go in for the very Our interview began with a twenty first time. Through time and

It was founded by their father Steven Saint in an effort to help those in need domestically and abroad. “At I-TEC, our goal is to develop tools and training systems that will enable the church, wherever it is, to meet the physical needs of their own people. By showing Christ’s love in a tangible way, they will develop meaningful relationships through which they circumstances, Steven Saint became will be able to share the gospel” – like a son to the Waodani man that ITEC.org killed his father Nate. From that fateful day in which Nate Saint decided it was time to make contact with the tribe; the Saints’ history would be forever connected to the Waodani. As family histories go, Jaime Saint’s is one of the most interesting I have ever had the privilege to hear. Numerous books, articles, and even movies have been made and written about the Saint Family’s journey. To this I will not do them justice so I will recommend some excellent links to bring you further along Notably, I-TEC is home to The Mavin this remarkable story of courage erick LSA “Flying Car” to which research and development has gone and faith. on for nearly six years.

can take hours if not days a much faster mode of transportation, especially in emergency type situations. After interviewing the Saints, I have

discovered a faith in God that could move mountains. I want a faith like that; one in which I place more of my trust in God and less worry in myself. As a friend recently shared, our faith should be one in which we do not merely dip our toes in the River Jordan but rather submerge ourselves there. She went on to say that, “when the Israelites were crossing the River Jordan to reach the Promise Land, God commanded them to step into the river without hesitation and to put all of their faith into Him”. I’m not sure how to become that way but after meeting Jessica and Jamie Saint I am inspired to try.

A Family Legacy

Nate Saint is born on August 30, 1923

September 1955, Nate Saint and four fellow missionaries begin giving gifts to the Waodani by lowering a bucket from a plane to where the Waodani lived. The bucket contained gifts each time for the Waodani. January 3, 1956, using the beach as a landing strip, Nate Saint and

four other fellow missionaries set up camp four miles from the Waodani. Contact is friendly at this point with the Waodani Tribe. Sunday, January 8, 1956 Nate Saint and the four missionaries were speared to death by the Waodani tribe. In February 1959 Rachel Saint returned to the Waodani tribe that killed her brother Nate in Ecuador

and, together with Elisabeth Elliot, the wife of James (Jim) Elliot, they were able to move into a Waodani settlement.

Blaine was only 19 months old when she and her parents --Vanessa and Lance-received her diagnosis of ALL leukemia. After two years of difficult treatment, this strong little girl beat cancer and successfully went into remission. Blaine is now a beautiful, outgoing, and fun-loving young girl. On August 12, 2013, just before she started 6th grade, Blaine learned that she would once again have to fight; the Leukemia was back. She began her journey of treatment at Shands hospital in Gainesville with her family, friends and community supporting her. Sadly, on September 18, 2013, Blaine faced unspeakable tragedy with the loss of her father, Lance. Blaine and Vanessa need the support of their community now more than ever. Your prayers and financial support are invaluable to them as they face this unimaginably difficult time. By the grace of God and the love from their community, these two incredibly strong women will undoubtedly persevere. Please help in any way you can.
