Exciting things are under way!

Over the past few years I have come to know - really KNOW - that God’s plans are so much better than mine! After all, it was His plan for me to meet and marry my amazing husband Steven. It was His plan for us to become foster parents, to become the adoptive parents of two awesome kids and to have two amazing kids by the miracle of birth. Our story could end there and it would still be an amazing testimony of God's greatness. 

But God’s plan for is still being written and it isn’t going to end with us settling into a comfortable life. God calls us to more than that and the reason we are starting this blog is to glorify Him.

Some of you know this wasn't a great year for me/us (in some respects). Losing my Dad to dementia was so hard. I also lost my precious Granddaddy (my mom's dad). Both of them taught me so much about life and helped to shape my faith. They both, as well as my mom (who died unexpectedly in 2008), lived life to the fullest.

As He always does, God allowed me to experience joy, hope and gratitude even in the midst of seeing my Dad and Grandfather in their weakest time. God brought beauty to each situation. His love and mercy were so clearly and undeniably present.

Jesus said that He came so that we could have life and have it to the full (John 10:10). I can think of no better way to glorify God and honor my Dad, Mom and Granddaddy than for Steven and I to be obedient to God's calling in our lives and to give glory to God by sharing the story as it unfolds.

Honduras August 2021

Hey Friends! I took a trip to San Pedro, Sula, Honduras this summer. Forest Park UMC in Panama City, FL., led the trip. I spent a week in the beautiful country helping install a new roof on a hospital. Our crew was able to get about 3000 sqft installed in that time period. I had a great time and fell in love with the country. While I was there I experienced my first earthquake (though I did not actually feel it). The locals told me that it just occurred. The people I met were so nice and welcoming. The food was delicious and fresh. I am so excited at the possibility of our entire family moving there soon.
