While Kevin was in Haiti, I had the blessing of going to visit one of my best friends Kelly, in Lincoln, NE. Kelly and I met in high school and we've stayed in touch ever since.
As I was thinking about my trip to visit Kel & her family, I thought about how God wove our friendship together so many years ago. He knew that He wanted our lives to be a blessing, a challenge, and an encouragement to one another. How often do we take our friendships for granted, not recognizing that God has placed certain people in our lives for certain reasons?? Kelly and I spent one semester together at TCU before I abandoned her! :) Then we spent time together working on summer staff at our church during our college summers. Our lives took us to very different places in the world, but we always make time to connect over the phone.
I hadn't seen Kelly since her first son, Brady was a little guy. She know as a second son, David and I just found out a few weeks ago that the little baby in her tummy is a girl!!! CONGRATS to your sweet family Kel. Can't wait to meet her!!
It rained a whole lot while we were in Lincoln, but we managed to squeeze in a late night "coffee" run, thanks to her sweet hubby for staying home with the sleeping children. We also took the kids to an amazing children's museum. Isabelle and John Michael had a blast! Here are just a few of the fun things we did!
Isabelle is in the cockpit of this plane.
There was a full stage with lights & dress up...my kids felt right at home...pretend play could not have gotten any better than this!
A miniature pizzaria made for a fun "pretend" lunch!
Who says he isn't ready for football!!The family of God continues to amaze me! It starts across states & borders! I am thankful that Kelly & her sweet family are a part of it! Love you Kel. Thanks again for a great visit!
