Seven years ago we pulled up to his one year session not knowing we would leave forever changed. That day, Chasity told me she felt God telling her to give Sugar Snap away and as soon as we got in the car, I looked at Russ and said, “I think it should be to me.”
The next year in March, I sat in my principal’s office holding my resignation letter terrified of giving up my dream job to pursue this nudge from the Lord.Yet God. A few days later, I found out I was pregnant with Callie and when we found out she was a girl, I looked at Russ and said, “Where is she going to take dance?”
Then, as we walked through the journey of parenting, right alongside most of you, Cray was diagnosed with autism. You fought for him and prayed for him. You sent texts of encouragement and listened to me share details of his story. This “job” gave me the flexibility I needed during those days of navigating just what life would look like as he began life in a classroom.
And now it is my turn. Giving away Sugar Snap is one of the greatest honors of my life. Chasity’s gift changed my life. YOU, each of you, changed my life. Your friendship. Your smiles. Your laughter.Thank you 
Your response to this news last week reminds me why this is so hard for our family. Each of you are so special. So kind. So loyal. How excited we are for Rebecca, my sister-in-law, and the way God will continue to write her story.
Yet God. Only He would give me a front row seat.
