What A Blessing!




What a blessing Colby and I experienced last night!
Colby and I have been a part of a small group for the past year.
The small group is called a Life Group. This group is comprised of individuals within our church, New River Fellowship, that are similar in age and interest as us.
This group has completely changed me and Colby as individuals and as a couple.
Prior to joining, we both claimed to be Christians, but neither of us really walked the walk of a true Christian. We have learned the power of a relationship with Jesus Christ, and what a change it can make in your life. Being friends with Christians, really helps bring out your Christianity in ways you can't imagine!
The individuals in this life group became our friends, our family, and our Christian brothers and sisters! We love each and everyone of them and are so thankful to have them in our lives from now until eternity.
Last night we had the entire gang over to say good-bye to Colby before he leaves for McAllen. It was a very powerful and emotional evening for us. From the prayers, to the kind words some of them expressed, to the laughter and fun we had, it's a night neither of us will ever forget.
Not only did they bring food, but they brought DIAPERS and when i say diapers, I mean A LOT of diapers!!!!! What a blessing!!!!
We will miss each and everyone of them!
