I am on a grand adventure with the sweetest woman, Patsy Weaver. She is kind, insightful and fiercely devoted to the Lord. Her heart is to build relationships with other so that she can serve them and see them either come to know Jesus or learn to know Him better. Today I’d like to share her account of how My Story, Our Table began. “When a friend from my neighborhood life group began to share with me that the Lord had given her a vision about opening a restaurant in downtown Sapulpa, I began to pray.
