A lot of exciting things
have been happening lately within our county. Our first support group
meeting was very successful. We had a great time of sharing concerns
and ideas and thinking up ways to do what we do for these children
even more excellent. The supervisor provided a wonderful dessert
spread and one of our dear friend's did a team building exercise with
the group that had a wonderful word picture to go along with it. Nick
was able to share a devotional and scripture and prayer. It was a
blessing to hear the Word of God read and prayer in the county
building. We're looking forward to our next support meeting on
Saturday, July 13 at Bethel Baptist Church in Savannah at 6pm.
Our church is hosting a
foster/adopt parent appreciation Sunday June 30. The church is
dedicating the service to the families and honoring them with a lunch
after wards. We want to show our appreciation and also share the love
of Christ with them. We're very excited about this opportunity.
Another exciting
opportunity is a luncheon Nick and I were invited to tomorrow to
share about the FRAME ministry. Another church in our county is
wanting to get on board with helping with reaching “the least of
these.” We're very excited to hear what they have to share and to
be able to share what the Lord has called our family too. Please pray
for our time together. Thank you!
Last but certainly not
least is a tremendous blessing that came Nick and I's way Sunday at
church. A couple at our church, whom we consider as dear, sweet
friends, is wanting to support our ministry in being “foster
grandparents” to our family to provide Nick and I a date night once
a month. They want us to pick a Saturday that will work each month
and they will watch the children while we have time for just us. Let
me tell you this generous offer is worth more to us than any dollar
amount they could've given to us. We're blessed to call them friends
and we pray the Lord blesses them abundantly for their ministry to
not only our family but our marriage.
I hope you've enjoyed
reading about the awesome things God is doing right here in our small
county. I love how God uses ordinary people, all through out
scripture and even now, to do extraordinary things for Him. To God be
the glory!
