This morning we stood in the darkness waving goodbye to some friends. We met them just a year ago, and yet, they nuzzled their way into our hearts and made us love them in that short time!! Rob and Michelle are on their way to the Sovereign Grace Pastor's College. They will return to Frisco next June. They lead our care group this year and we so enjoyed them. We drove together to care group each week which entails 8 of us piling in our Honda Pilot (and I mean piling) and driving anywhere from 45minutes to an hour and 45 minutes to where our group met. Though care group was always so good, the drives were a blast. We laugh and talked and became friends. It is amazing how friendship blooms in the mundane. Had we just been it their group, it would have been great, but in adding the driving together, care group night became an event!! They spent their last 2 days at our house just hanging, eating ice cream and cookies, having Chinese with cheap wine, watching the movie "Signs" and laying on the patio looking for meteorites. The mundane and yet treasured memories. We will miss them and their 2 little Bubbas, but we look forward to seeing all the Lord has for them this year, I am convinced it will be life changing. Godspeed Rob and Michelle, we will see you in October for lunch!! :)

Prepare your hearts and homes for his return next year. It is amazing what God sends back to us when we faithfully pray and support those who are called to be preachers of the Word. It's almost like when Joshua and Caleb came back bearing so much fruit it took 2 men to carry it. How exciting for your church, Di.
