Whitney's story...
She is about to be a single Mom and realized she wanted something different for her life and for her daughter.
She had a Christian friend, Lauren, who was part of a Christian family -- the Turners -- who "adopted" Whitney.
They knew a Jesus story-teller... me. And when they came over, they recognized Marsha as a teacher they had in Middle School. And they liked her -- then and now.
So Whitney decided to make her story part of God's story and we baptized her in front of the Turners, Lauren, and about 12 of her family and friends that she invited to see her be born again. And when they all came to HIP one Wednesday, her Mom happened to sit right behind Lois who knew her from teaching together. So now Mom has a connection.
Our God is an awesome God.
So now Whitney is a part of our family. And her story is our story.
God continues to invite people into the story of His Son Jesus. And if you are at Southern Hills Easter Sunday at the Daybreak assembly, you will get to meet Whitney and her family. God is still writing that story. And we get to be part of it.
Go God.
