Old News



This post is past due but I decided to write it anyways. It's been over a week since my friend Joelle had her graduation party. I am priveledged to be one of her many friends and I really enjoyed spending time with her family too. We had a great time singing hymns and eating awesome cake which by the way is on the veggiehog blog. Then on Sunday after graduation we had some yummy Middle Eastern food and toasted with some Tabor Hill grape juice. It was all very festive. It's always proof of God's handywork when we get anything accomplished. He has all the abilities to do through us what we could never do alone. Lately I've noticed how strong His hands are and how much I need them to hold me close to Him. And to throw in another lesson. There are a lot of flowers around right now and I don't hear them discussing with each other about how they are going to survive. In fact, they are simply displaying the beauty they've been given to share. So with us... God has made us beautiful and it's for His honor that we can share it. One suggestion: smile... God is in control... He never fails!

I agree Matt. Hey, It's great to hear that you will be back. Praise God... we can use you here. Anyways,life does go much better when we trust God :) Well, blessings. What are you doing this summer?

Good suggestion Matt, but I believe that the topic has been chosen. The theme is "I AM". We plan of studying several of the places in the Bible were Jesus says, "I AM...." So it should be a good follow up from STC. However, the end time topic is a fantastic one besides the fact that it's current, right?! Anyways, maybe we can start another study group too. It's great to know you will be back at AU in the fall. So Africa, are you going with global evangelism? you are so lucky whatever you are going there for. Anyways, this is a crazy long message for a blog. Later. God's blessings to you!
