Another Open Door

The other night Jeff used a gift card that he got for his birthday to take me out to dinner. We had no idea where we wanted to go to eat so we just drove to the next exit off the interstate which happened to be Circle Dr. (close to where we used to live) and we found a Macaroni Grill. Neither one of us had ever been so we thought we decided to give it a try. The food was great but is not the best of it. While we were eating the manager came to greet us, we told the server we had never been, anyway she came to greet us and after a couple questions we began to tell her why we were in the Springs all the way from Florida. We told her about Ukraine, and she just could not believe it and went and got our server. Garth is his name and He and his wife Debbie are in the process of adopting 2 Ukrainian girls in May. He was so excited to tell us his story and we couldn't wait to tell him ours!! We stayed a long time talking to him about what God is doing in our lives, and he shared about how God was working things out for his new family, and he also feels a call on their lives for the orphans in Ukraine as well. Jeff and I were so floored!!!! When the girls get here we will be able to let them meet "our" kids. Until then we are setting up a date for Garth and his wife to join us for dinner and we can get to know each other better. It still amazes me how God continues to open doors for us. We are not going out and looking for these opportunities, every time, they have presented themselves to us, we didn't do anything, we just except them and thank God for them.

  1. How awesome is our God!!!! You never know what happens when you let God guide you, even in something so small as where to eat dinner. So glad doors are opening and mayb God continue to lead you in the direction He has for you to go. He will never let you down!!! God bless you in this new friendship and in your ministry. You never know where it will take you!!!!
