Meet Stella's Spiritual Grandmother, Gail. Stella has two, wonderful grandmothers by blood, but she is also part of an extended spiritual family...which includes Gail Durost. Gail is a prayer warrior - she's a member of our church who has met with Tim from Day One of his job as Student Ministries Director, simply to pray for all the students, to pray for Tim and his team of volunteers, and to support him in whatever ways she can. I'm confident that she is one of the reasons his ministry is flourishing at the church. There were 79 kids at youth group last Wednesday night (junior and senior high kids showing up on a school-night to hear about and study Scripture...what is that?!); when Tim started working at the church, sometimes only three high school students would show up on a Wednesday evening! Gail prays for EVERYONE. She is amazing. When Tim and I decided we wanted to start a family of our own, Gail prayed for us - the next month, we found out I was pregnant with Stella. Have you ever met someone you think might be a real guardian angel? We have...
(On an entirely unrelated note - we have tooth number 2 today - bottom right!)
