privilege of getting to meet Bethany know what a gem she is and how very
blessed the expectant families in her community in Virginia must be to

Our Director's Heart
Kristin Schuchmann aka "Nannie" with
grandbaby Eric at the Zoo during their last-minute Christmas trip to Virginia
Beach.
Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year, Charis Family!!!
I know it seems strange to receive a December newsletter in January.
Circumstances prevented the release of this newsletter on time; but, since our
contributors had submitted such wonderful articles, we decided to go ahead and
release it late rather than not at all. You can look forward to January’s
newsletter in a couple weeks.
I hope all of you enjoyed this Christmas season and that you were able to create
special memories with those you love most. As a midwife, I am limited in the
amount I travel, so had not originally planned to go visit my family for
Christmas. But, one of the nicest gifts I received this year was from all of the
possible 2014 babies. They ALL decided to be born prior to Christmas, making it
possible for me to leave town. We cancelled all of our Christmas plans, packed
the van, and drove to Virginia Beach, surprising my family on Christmas Eve. It
was a very quick trip, but the time spent with the ones I love is a treasure and
I am grateful for every minute.
Looking back over 2014, my heart is satisfied that it was a year well spent and
I look forward to all that 2015 holds!
Blessings,
Kristin Schuchmann
Executive Director, Charis Childbirth, Inc.
