as all of you know shel left for korea in june and just about crushed me, but knowing what would get me through, i turned to God and prayed, and pray hard i did! when people would ask me, how do you do it, i would say” i put them in God’s hands that is all i can do”, nothing else works! i did it for UA \u00a0when he left for africa and other ends of the earth and i did it for shel. it is hard not being able to physically hold them, but i know we really have it so much easier than those who came before us… with all of the technology we have available to us today, makes it so much easier:)<\/p>\n

well for shel i knew if she could find a friend, that would be all she would need in her new world,<\/p>\n

“please Lord bring someone into shels life that will be a friend to her and help both of them through the times they are away from family, please Lord”<\/em><\/p>\n

that is the prayer i prayed everynight, and then one night shel called after about 2 months over there and said ‘”mom, i made a friend” i was so relieved and so happy for her, just like the day she came home from kindergarten and said “mom, i made a friend”!!!!!<\/p>\n

mallory is her friend and they are starting this new adventure together, mallory asked shel to go on board with her and this is what they came up with:)<\/p>\n

God answers prayer in a big way, and he knows that what these 2 girls are doing for others, is what they needed!<\/p>\n
