It's been a crazy couple of months! I finally got around to putting pictures from the last two months on the computer this week so I thought I'd share some. John was home for a few weeks. It was so good to see him. I miss him so much, but I am so, so proud of him and his service to our country. He's volunteered to go to Iraq at the end of May, so please pray for his safety with us.
James is on sabbatical from dcf right now. We're taking some much needed time to get refreshed spiritually. We've both been guilty of pouring out without filling up. I took a lot of time this weekend to praise God and to read His Word. I am so amazed by how powerful and how good God is. I don't know why I don't remember this every day! Here's one of my favorite passages I read this weekend -
1 Peter 3:8-12 (English Standard Version)
Suffering for Righteousness’ Sake 8Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. 9 Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. 10For "Whoever desires to love life and see good days,let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit;11let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer.But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
I want to be a blessing to other people!

"there is nothing that you can do to make God love you any more or any less" This truth was shared with me at a time in my life when I was most broken and has helped me continue to heal since. Life as we now know it (and consequently the future content of this blog) would not have been possible without God's constant reminder of this truth.
