Our awesome year

Many of you have read my amazing Hubby's blog posting about fulfilling his dream of golf!
We are both so excited and are looking forward to what God has planned for us!
But I thought you all might be interested in how we got here and the story behind the dream.

As Many of you know Matthew and I met at Southeastern. My first impression of Matthew was one of astonishment. Most eighteen year olds I knew played way too many video games and didn't take anything in life seriously. Not Matthew. He nonchalantly told me that he had left a career (full ride scholarship) in golf because he believed God was calling him to the mission field. He didn't sound bitter but at peace and thankful for the calling. The thing that got me about Matthew though was his passion. He always gives a 110% into everything he does and watching God work through him has been one of the best blessings in my life.

So fast forward I am now married to this amazing man (YAY!) and we will have our three year anniversary this summer (:
Last January as most of you know Matthew and I went overseas to serve.
While we were over there God began working on our hearts about platforms, (what jobs did we want to do wherever we lived whether Germany, Spain, or the US).
Slowly Matthew began to talk about golf again.
I had always known that God would use Matthew's amazing talent in some way or another for His glory but I wasn't sure how. Though Matthew kept saying he wouldn't play again, but God didn't give him this talent for no reason and I knew Matthew's passion for golf would at some point have to be used (:

Finally after three months of praying and talking about it, Matthew came to me one beautiful morning in Spain looked me straight in the eye and said, "Sam I think I am going to go back to Golf." Inside I leaped for joy, he had found his platform and his passion!

Matthew plans on working really hard , getting sponsors, and using this gift for Gods glory. And the perfect thing about golf is that it can be played almost anywhere in the world, leaving the door open for God to send us anywhere (:
Matthews heart for missions and love of golf are now combined and it's been a beautiful journey! But the best part is that it's only the beginning!
Thank you for our continued prayers and support! We love you all!
