Only God knows when detours are necessary. Driving back from VA the highway was jammed so we detoured for a while. A family in distress waved us down because a man’s 3 y.o. son was seizing. He was frantic and didn’t know what to do. Mandy cared for the boy until the ambulance arrived. God’s perfect timing. The boy was sick and was having a febrile seizure. Even though Mandy caught the boy’s sickness it was worth it to offer some comfort to a family in need!

Praying for God to open doors for us to find willing and able church partners. Prayerfully and financially. We are packing up and moving out in 3 weeks and we have no Plan B! Praying God is glorified through our faith-filled steps.

Maicol and I are so grateful to have two wonderful mothers. To the mother who raised me (Mandy) – thanks! You are such a great friend to me and a wonderful comfort. I love you so much. I love your advice and you warm welcome every time we come home. I tear up thinking what I’ll do when you’re no longer 7 hours away by car…
