Awesome Opportunities!

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!
