Story 9

What a whirlwind of a week! We heard on Monday night that Asbury was providing shelter to those in need from the storm. On Tuesday, we learned that our church was actually the largest shelter in Tulsa. I am a RN and my husband a Tulsa Fire Paramedic, so we felt we could serve in some capacity. We hit the ground RUNNING on Tuesday around noon and after the first hug, we were hooked for the entire week. We met and served next to many members of Asbury that we would otherwise have not known ~ we have some AWESOME folks! We met many hurting people, took every opportunity to give a hug, share a laugh and received so much more in return. Thank you Asbury for all you have taught us. To quote a man we all admire, “It is good to serve.”
