Tonight I went to the high school volleyball game because the head coach, Pat Perry told me that the girls on the team wanted to do something special for Courtney Keen, the assistant coach. I arrived at 5:00 p.m. as instructed and waited on the JV game to end so that we could eat cake with Courtney and surprise her. Well...imagine my surprise when the girls and coaches lined up facing the bleachers and asked that me and Coach Maddux come down to the front!! I was sooo surprised!! No one can ever surprise me but this team did today! Anna Mitchell proceeded to explain to the crowd that the team hosted a tournament recently and made money. As they discussed the options of how to spend it, like, new equipment, warm-ups, etc., they decided to do something to help bring Bobby and the Maddux kids home!!
I am so humbled to be the recipient of the generosity and kindness of these teenage girls. Only girls receptive to God's Spirit working in their hearts would want to do something so selfless and sweet. God is so good! This gift is amazing! Thank you Jesus and thank you girls for your love for a little orphan named Bobby. He doesn't even know yet that he is coming home to a group of young women who already love him more than he can imagine. What you have done is now part of his life story. All the Hannah's thank you for this wonderful gift.
I have a really cute pic of bobby from when we were there in March...if you want I can email it to you... :)

ReplyDeleteHey Cindy!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to find you out here in "blogland," and was even happier to hear about your adoption news when I ran into you the other day at school! I can't wait to meet little Bobby, and all the other little Ugandan brothers and sisters that will soon be a precious part of our little community. What a blessing and joy they'll be to each of us.
Rejoicing with y'all as you step up and out to the Call of Adoption.....it will be the biggest blessing of your lives! Praise the Lord!
Love and blessings!
