everyone needs a mike and cindy

I moved to a brand new town when I got married.

I got married this past July, and moved to the "Cowboy Capital of the World" (I'm not kidding).

The reason Stephenville, TX is called the "Cowboy Capital of the World" is because, more rodeo champions come from Stephenville, TX than anywhere else in the world.

So, you may ask, "do you see cowboy hats daily?"

Yes.

"Do you see cowboy boots daily?"

Yes.

"Do you see spurs daily?"

No, but a lot.

The point of this blog is not really to talk about how "cowboy" my town is.

The point was to introduce you to a couple of people who have made my first year in Stephenville, TX feel more like home.

When I moved here, I only knew about 4 people.

The city I moved from, I had a HUGE group of friends... probably like a couple of HUNDRED friends.

So, you can only imagine how lonely I felt at first.

Then came Cindy and Mike.

(we were going on a walk here)

Cindy and Mike are 2 of the coolest people ever.

They are the same age as my parents.

They have taken me in as one of their own.

They have an amazing marriage... very similar to my parents... but funnier.  :)

They are very strong Christians, both are very hard working, and they both just love each other, their children, and they LOVE LIFE!!

Everyone needs a Mike and a Cindy.

They encourage me.

They show me (along with my parents) that people can stay happily married.

They have taught me how important it is to be a hard worker.

They have showed me how to cultivate a FUN, LOVING, and SELFLESS marriage.

I truly hope I can be like Cindy one day.

They came into my life at a very lonely time, and I'm so thankful for their friendship and example.

God really does know what you need in every season of your life.

In this season, I needed a Mike and a Cindy.

Just ask God to bring you what and who you need.
