An Amazing Experience

Tyron and I have recently gotten to know our neighbors Reid and Jennifer. For those of you who know us, that is a big step. We are not what you would call social butterflies; however, the Lord has really given us a heart for this couple. We have lived across the alley from them for almost a year now, and we just recently started to get to know them. When I say recently, I mean over the last 2 weeks or so.

We were so excited because we knew that God had led us into this new friendship. Through many dinners over a short amount of time and 2 weeks of going to church with us, Reid has come to know the Lord. He has been searching so hard for the Lord these past few weeks, and it has been our privilege to help shepherd him. Jennifer has known the Lord and has been such a blessing to get to know. Her heart is so genuine. It's been such a quick journey to get to today. I am so thankful that we have been able to witness the astounding growth in this sweet couple's relationship with the Lord and to have front row seats to see what the Lord is capable of. It makes me truly stand in awe of His sovereignty and power.

Tonight was our church's annual baptism celebration. Tonight we got to see 3 people baptized. One of those people was Reid. Tyron actually baptized him. It was so amazing to see. Tyron and Reid have become such close friends in such a short amount of time, and I have really gotten to know Jenn and love her as well. She is so sincere and honest. These two have really challenged us spiritually and have helped us grow in our knowledge of the Lord. It has been such a blessing to get to know them, and I can't wait to see where it's all leading. I pray that this is only the beginning of a really great friendship and that the Lord be glorified in all that we do and say. I am so thankful that the Lord sent us our precious new friends.
