Farewell to my Texan parents

Today marks the end of a season of intense divine fellowship with James and Nikki, this amazing couple from Texas who became my adopted parents for my first three months in KC.

During this time they have lavished me with love, fed me, sown nuggets of gold into my heart, shared testimonies with me, prayed with me, celebrated my birthday with me, driven me to classes, sat with me in meetings, hugged me, cried with me, and just beed the most marvellous friends to me.

They have taught me how to set boundaries and love people who are broken. They have deeply encouraged me and been stable mentors for me. They have been so loyal, faithful, reliable and trustworthy and taught me to be a better friend to others. Gosh, I just love them so much.They will be leaving Missouri today to drive back to Texas - a 12-hour drive stopping halfway at some place to rest.

James is an orthopaedic surgeon on the Mercy ship. He coordinates a medical team on there. Nikki is a trauma nurse. They live on a huge ranch that they call the Mercy Ranch. Praise the Lord for these two amazing people. They have made such a huge impact on me :-)
