Dream Big

Dream Big is the name of Matt and Nicole's blog http://mandnfitz.blogspot.com Matt and Nicole have been dreaming big for a long time. Their dream was to be able to come to Honduras and work with children. Nicole has had this dream since long before she graduated from high school. She went to Harding and majored in missions. She met Matt her freshman year. And after coming on his first Torch trip, Matt soon shared the same dream. They wanted to come immediately and we convinced them to finish college, which they did. They, then, wanted to come as soon as Matt graduated and Miss Haley Grace entered the picture. Doesn't God have a wonderful sense of humor. Matt and Nicole wanted to take care of kids, so God gives them a kid.

Last month a series of events began to fall into place that could only be orchestrated by God Himself. Matt and Nicole's church, South Baton Rouge Church of Christ has decided to support them fully. And their lives have kicked into high speed. They have to take some classes at Abilene. They have so much to do. They will be leaving in August for Costa Rica where they will attend one full year of language school. Things have to be sorted and packed and disposed of and many other things. That is still fresh on my mind, two and a half years later. Fortunately, they do not have as many things as I had.

We are so excited that our daughter, son-in-law and grandaughter will be joining us to work with these children and more. They will be in Santa Ana in August or September, 2011. Please pray for them as they have many things to do and many changes to face. I am so glad that they could dream big and God has blessed those dreams.
