What Happens When…

two great big orphan-lovin’ families gather together?

Precisely this:

Yesterday as we were driving through Oklahoma we had the privilege of having lunch with some precious friends…Greg and Sara and their children.  Greg and Sara are pastors as well.   Greg and their son Louis also went to Africa on the February 2012 GO team with Dw and Emma.   They fell in love with Uganda as well!

We sat together over pizza and watermelon and laughed and talked and shared hearts and laughed some more.  Such precious friends brought together by Almighty God!

Although sometimes the adoption/orphan-lovin’ road can feel lonely, the Lord has graciously used blogs and other modes to join hearts across the world.   Thankfully, we had the privilege of one such beautiful connection yesterday.

I know most of you know just what I’m talking about and, personally speaking, if I could I would love to stop and spend time with each of you – what a blast we would have – no doubt!!

  5. Love getting together with other adoption families.There is such a sweet spirit flowing.SO glad you areare able to do this and the neat thing is that Joplin is only about 2 hours from me.If I would have known I would have loved to have met you all.I was wondering if you could email me at rayswithhim@centurytel.net I have a question for you.It involves the salvation of a man headed down a bad road if he doesn't allow the Lord to intervene.

  7. Great photo and I love the boys shirts "Restore Joplin"! I was in Joplin last summer with my church doing some work and I fell in love with people there! Our church is there right now also but unfortunately I couldn't get off work to go this year 🙁 What a cool thing to do with your kids, travel cross country! Enjoy your time together!
