Kid's Hope

Ok, so I must first apologize, as usual, for being so stinkin terrible about blogging. I promise I am going to try to be better and know that I will be at least for the next couple of weeks, because I have some things to say. And in lieu of saying them all in one long blog, I'm going to actually try and blog a few times over the next several weeks!!! So, hopefully this isn't a promise I end up having to break! :(

I just had to share with you guys something very cute...I'm not sure if any of you already know this, but Chris and I cannot have kids. And as sad as that is SOMEtimes, we both know we were supposed to be together especially because neither of us really had (or have) a huge desire to have children. So, obviously, as usual, the Lord knew what He was doing there!!! :) Anyways, one of those sad times is when I get to see Chris interact with kids, because he is AMAZING with them! I mean, seriosuly, he is sweet and patient and kind and loves to teach them things and how to play fair, etc, etc, etc!

All that being said, Chris has started volunterring at church with a ministry called Kid's Hope, where a bunch of people from our church mentor kids from a nearby school. They meet once a week for an hour and have been up and running this year for 3 weeks now. Chris' little guy's name is Jael, and the first time they met, they already had something in common...the TV show "River Monsters." oye! :) Ok, so anyways, I just got off the phone with Chris after his third week with Jael, and he said that Jael saw him coming and ran up to him and gave him a hug. And being that it is that time of the month, even typing that out brings tears to me eyes.

So, I just wanted to share this with you guys! I think it is so precious that the Lord is allowing Chris to be an influence and role model and buddy to this little guy, and if you ever think about it, please say a lil prayer for Jael and Chris' time together!

Love you all and hope all is well. Check back in soon, and I MIGHT even have a picture for you!!! :)
