The Wedding

I love the body of Christ. Last night we got to celebrate the marriage of a sweet couple living at The Tapestry Project. They moved in a few months ago with four children. They were homeless and we felt led to really help them. Our apts are small and their family is large but they managed to make it work. We noticed instantly that they took great care of their children and Dustin began working for my husband to start paying rent. Shortly after they got settled. They mentioned that they longed to be married. However, he did not want to marry his wife at the court house. Dustin loves Amber and they wanted a Christian Wedding in a Church.

The Wedding came together and here are a few pics of their AMAZING CELEBRATION:

They were so excited Dustin kept saying to Amber “I am so glad your my wife.” They were giddy and so was I:) I can’t wait to see how the Lord continues to work in their marriage and in their family. He is the God of “more than enough.”

Thank you to all who gave of your time, talent, and resources! If your interested in helping out with things like this visit www.thetapestryproject.org

The 83 Foundation Event

Here are some highlights from this weekends event with Wes Welker’s 83 Foundation.

The 83 foundation has been a unique partnership and we were so grateful for the opportunity to set up a resource booth at their football clinic that reaches 300 (+) at risk youth in Oklahoma City.

THE FOOTBALL CLINIC

dscn0009dscn0014dscn0016The kids at the clinic loved every minute of it! These NFL players made such a difference in the lives of these kids and we were so grateful to be there to provide resources to the under-resourced in OKC.

Check out www.83foundation.com to learn more about New England Patriot Wes Welker and his work in Oklahoma City. We are excited to see how this partnership forms and we know that the foundation is interested in helping us bring more athletic opportunities to the kids living at and around The Tapestry Project.DSCN0010

After the Clinic we got all dressed up and attended a few more events with these guys in an attempt to raise some money for the 83 foundation. It was a lot of fun!
