I think the best part of my day today was getting to spend quality time with Eyob.
I told him a few days ago that I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him these last few days & he took it seriously.
after home visits & bible study this morning in Korah, we headed to Kaldis.
the Gibsons had some things to do at the shopping center, so while we waited I got to give him the necklace I bought for him this week.
It was totally appropriate since he gave me (and Stephen!) a necklace yesterday!
now we can always think of each other when we wear our necklaces.
and then while waiting by the van, we decided to make a few videos.
a message for Yohannes, a message for Stephen, an amharic lesson (I really wanted to voice record all the words & phrases I know in Amharic so I don’t forget when I go home…) so Eyob translated for me!
but my favorite video was the one that started off, “hey mom”.
how did I get so lucky?
I really do love this boy like he were my own child & when I pray for camp + asher, I pray for their big Ethiopian brother, Eyob too.
we also had a farewell dinner at our favorite resturant — Korean! — with the Gibsons and crew.
mama kiki might have almost lost it, but I had god given peace today.
i love dinners out with kiki, roggy, zoe zoe & hannie.
we never run out of things to laugh or talk about.
this family has taught me more than they will ever know.
we’ve become family as we’ve been a family to a bunch of teenage boys that otherwise wouldn’t have one.
thank you jesus!
Hey, I'm Wynne!
Hi, friend! First, I truly am so giddy that you are here. I want you to know I believe in you and all the ways you are growing towards living a more intentional life. I genuinely hope you are encouraged from our time together here.
A little about me, I’m a type 7 on the enneagram, a total extrovert + people lover, entrepreneur, connector, storyteller, people gatherer, and passionate wife, mama + friend. I feel most alive when I’m exploring new places and surrounded by people I love. Give me a day in the outdoors disconnected from wifi, and I am a happy girl. I run on oat milk lattes, Jesus, gratitude journaling and kitchen dance parties with my four kids.
Welcome, come on in!
