We (Yes, We) Have Exciting News to Share

Joe and BrendaMy posts have been a little scarce lately. It’s time to confess that I’ve been a little preoccupied!

Early in December of this past year, 2015, God began to do a real work in my heart. I unclenched my hands from MY will and asked Him to fill them with HIS! When it came to my word for the year for 2016, abundance, God began to fill my hands with the blessings of His choosing and with His ability to do “exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20, KJV).

It is with sincere joy and deep gratitude that it is time to introduce you to Captain Joe Henderson, a godly, caring, and compassionate man God introduced me to forty-five years ago and reintroduced to me in a new role this year. Joe is a widower whose wife passed away in 2015. Their love for each other and for God were qualities I long admired. Little did I know or imagine….

We have no major announcements to make at this time—nothing other than gratitude for this day and its opportunities for a greater knowledge of God and each other. But you are among my favorite people, and I wanted you meet him!

So for now, that’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it. Amazing man. Amazing grace (which we have both seen in full force throughout these initial months). Amazing God. To Him be the glory!

“This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes” (Psalm 118:23, KJV)!
