This ficus was a gift from my good friend, Kyle. We have been blessed in our nearly 12 years living in Ireland to have some pretty amazing people in our lives. Kyle is one of those. He’s a pastor in Bray and has been a huge source of friendship and wisdom. We talk about ministry, he asks me tough questions, and we encourage one another. This plant means a lot, but it’s a symbol of how he has selflessly invested into Katy and I.
I’m reminded of how important it is to surround yourself with people who have your back, encourage you toward what God has called you to do, and will give (not drain) your energy. Kyle is one of a handful Katy and I have here. Do you have those people?
We thank God for those around us like Kyle. And we thank God for you. We may be an ocean apart or right next door. Distance is irrelevant when we are partnered together for God’s Kingdom. Thank you for all you do!
