I share this story every year, around that day, April 15th. It’s hard to believe it’s already been four years.

Four years ago I was driving into Dallas with Lindsey and my parents for a friend’s wedding. We were all pretty hungry so we stopped for lunch and grabbed a table.

Shortly after we sat down a woman came up to our table with something in her hand and asked me how old I was. I told her I was 23. She had tears in her eyes, then said this, “That's close enough. Today, April 15th, would have been my son, Nick's 25th birthday but he died when he was very young. Every year on Nick's birthday I find a young man that is about as old as Nick would've been and I give him a gift. I've been thinking of Nick and praying for you all morning. I love you and your family, this is for you!" Our whole table was in tears. She gave me this card that I took a picture of and 25 dollars, one for each year of what would've been Nick's life.

After taking in what had happened for a moment I went to the woman's table and told her what I do, that there is no way I'll ever be able to explain what her love, generosity, and tender-heartedness in the middle of her deepest pain had meant to me. I told her I'd be thinking of her forever on this date and be praying for her and her family. That woman is @corischmidt and we still keep in touch to this day. Happy 29th birthday, Nick! What a family, what a GOD.

Sometimes Jesus just shows off. That's one of those true God moments in my life. On a difficult day, in weakness, Corinna beautifully demonstrated the love of Jesus! What an unbelievable display of Jesus drawing near to the brokenhearted. Things happen in our lives that we don't understand, that we may never understand, but He is good. He knows what He is doing with His children. His love and compassion never cease to amaze me. Don't miss the miracles in your day to day. Even the smallest acts of love move our hearts in the biggest ways. I love Corinna and Steve. I can't wait to meet Nick. He changed my life through the lives of his loving, faithful parents.

God grows gardens where desert used to thrive. He’s making a way. Even when you don’t see it. He’s still making a way.

Seriously though, there is nobody I would rather do life with. As long as we’ve got each other we can get through any changes. (SEE WHAT I DID THERE !!)
