At every stage of our lives, God has always gone before us to prepare the way.
Joshua's birth brought a lot of different emotions and some major insecurity about this path God had chosen for us.
I heard Jim on the phone, choking back tears, telling them not to come...but these precious, long-time friends? They ignored him and came anyway...to support us on that day.
They tell us they remember Jim saying, "I think he'll be able to hold a fishing pole."
So by God's plan, we...these friends of ours, and us...each eventually had daughters. And by God's provision, they ended up at the same college...and became best friends, roommates, and bridesmaids in each other's weddings.
This weekend 27 years after Joshua's birth, the circle of life continued for our families when one daughter brought baby Mason into the world...and the other daughter came to show support and share in the joy of that special day.
So blessed.
"The LORD is the One who will go before you. He will be with you; He will never leave you..." Deuteronomy 31:8
