Last summer, Becca came home from camp with her cousin Michael on her heart. She was determined to get him to Colorado and show him what life could be like without all the many problems he faces at home. This summer, she remained faithful to what God called her to do and she asked that we bring him to our home and that he go on vacation with us. He did.
We went to Fort Larimie in Wyoming, to Mount Rushmore, Sylvan Lake, and Devil's Tower. So beautiful. It was so much fun for all of us. We missed Laura, as she was in Japan. Michael helped us to not miss her quite so much.
God showed up and we had an absolutely awesome time. Michael wants to come back at Christmas and I truly hope he does. He is part of us and we love him. We talked about everything. I told him that he could make a difference in his life and work his way out of all the troubles at home. I talked to him about how I did it. I told him that I believed in him and that all the work would be worth it. It truly was. He has gone back home and our home is not the same. We wanted to change his way of thinking and as it turned out, he changed ours. He showed me that I can make the difference in his life. I cannot change his home life, but I can help him change how he deals with it. We love you Michael.
