Bad things gone Good



Scott & I attended the MADD National Conference this past Thursday. I wasn't exactly thrilled about going, I had to get dressed up and pretend I knew which fork was for my salad and my dinner. None of that really mattered. But I didn't really see past that until the speakers started to share their stories with all of us. As usual I can't see past what is right in front of me, but God has something Bigger than that. As I listened to their stories most of them sounded the same, not exactly, but one common thing that brought them together. They had lost someone they loved to a drunk driver. They had come together to fight for something greater, to make this world better. They are trying to stop people from drinking and driving. Who knew. Who knew that one day I would marry a man who would be employed at a non-profit organization that is trying to put an end to the very thing I used to do, drink and drive. This is something I am not proud of, but this was one of many stupid choices I made. I thank God often that nothing happened to me or someone else. God is truly amazing. He takes something bad and makes it good! So as I listened to the different people speak I knew we were here for something, something good, a reason, a plan. God has a plan & I am honored to be part of it!

I am confident that God has big plans for you and for Scott. He has already used you in so many ways to bless my family. Isn't it amazing how He has carried you to this place in your life, even when you didn't know he was there. God is great! - Amy

Since everyone else was serious, I don't have to be. Love the chairs! They are sweet!

You and Scott look so cute all dressed up!
