410 Bridge Baby Shower!

In the almost 10 months that I have worked at The 410 Bridge, my co-workers have not only become friends, but they have also become family. I feel so blessed to be able to come into work every day and work with the most amazing people.

My husband, Chad and I are adopting a baby boy from Ethiopia and we got the call last week that we are to travel THIS week to pick him up! It was a complete surprise as this part of the process has been taking a little bit longer for other families. So, what did the incredible people that I work with do? They threw us a last minute baby shower yesterday leaving us both feeling so blessed and loved! Some friends from BigStuf and our small group came as well! Here are some pictures!!

That was some early advice from my friend, Lanny, and it held the test of time. It’s important to keep a lookout for people suddenly crossing your path – God just might be introducing you to someone special. So, when Chris Joiner walked through our front door, I paid attention.  

In 2021, Chris reached out just to have a conversation. Over a few breakfasts, Chris and I discussed our shared passion for changing the way the West church engages the poor. At the time, Chris was working for another non-profit organization, but it quickly became clear that we both sought to create a lasting, meaningful impact on the lives of the poor.
