NOOOO WAAAAY!!! LOVE hearing this! I wasn't expecting this AMAZING update on your journey tonight!!! Praising the Lord for your precious family tonight!!! ONE STEP CLOSER
I am a full-time mom to four precious children, and have been married for 15 years to my wonderful, campus pastor, husband-Jody.
I love my family, baking, working out, reading, Ole Miss sports, Mexican food, our church, walking, and having friends over.
Most of all, I love my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our family's motto is "Love God, Love Others", and we are trying to live that out! We are so thankful that the Lord has brought our baby girl home from Ethiopia!
