My sweet friend Katie lost her baby girl Emily about 2 1/2 years after Samuel died and my very first conversation with her was the night before Emily's funeral. And the very first time I met her was the day she buried her baby girl. One of the things I admire most about Katie is that she see what you get. She is transparent, kind, generous, and sincere. She is funny and oh so honest!
Never could I have imagined all that we have experienced together since meeting 4 years ago. We have stayed close even thought now we are 12 hours apart from one another... She used to live literally 5 minutes away when we lived in Oklahoma and I can't tell you how many times she helped me fold laundry while Caleb made her bacon. :) Katie was went on my first trip to Uganda with me! What an amazing thing to experience together!
I am old enough to be her mom:) Truly! She loves my kids and we all love her!
Lucky for us she has a special friend about 2 hours away from us so we have been blessed to be able to spend some time with her lately!
Here we are at Feed My Starving Children making meals in memory of Samuel and Emily! We packed enough for 56 kids to eat for a year... LOVE IT!!!
We even got to go check out my old stomping grounds where Greg and I met at Concordia on the lakefront in Wisconsin. The campus is even prettier than I remember it:) You can't tell by his expression in this picture, but Isaiah loves her so much:)
My heart is amazed and thankful that God ALWAYS proves himself faithful!
He is fully capable of bring beauty from the ashes and does it a million times over!
He is able to weave these amazing friends, relationships, right directly out of our hurt!
