God Honoring Choices Open the Door to His Blessings

This spring has been an extremely busy time with an abundance of blessings! 

Around 12 years ago, Brandon was playing an online game when things became nasty between two groups. Brandon and one other player, named Christov, refused to join in and maintained their standards of conduct. Because of that, they became good friends. 

Over the years, they shared the similarities and differences of their countries, cultures, families, and supported each other through high school, girls, college, adulthood, and careers. 

Christov's family is also Christian and has many of the same interests as ours. 

Last year, Brandon spend two weeks visiting Christov, meeting his family, and visiting just about every spot in Poland including Auschwitz and about a dozen beautiful castles. 

On June 8th, Christov began his exploration of our part of the United States from NYC to PA to VA to OBX. While he is in the US, Clint and I will look after him as if he is our own child. 

Our family looks forward to his visit and hope we can welcome him in a manner that honors the Lord and our beautiful country. Since they do not have them there, Brandon has asked us to make him tacos. We will make those and several other American dishes. 

I love how the Lord rewarded two young boys for honoring Him with their choice in behavior with a lasting friendship that turned to international travels! I hope they are able to take many more journeys together.
