Hmmm.....

Interesting week, both up and down, and lots of thoughts running through my head. I got to head out to Capernwray last weekend which was awesome to catch up with friends and to see how they're doing. I really do miss being out there and all the memories that come with the place. Sadly, later that weekend, Steve, a friend from Capes passed away and is now with the Lord. One of those things that is hard to wrap your mind around. A young guy, who loved the Lord with all his heart and had a joy in Him that was contagious to those around him. Even though it's sad to think he isn't there anymore, it's exciting to know that he is with our Father in heaven, and there is such hope and peace in that. He has left an impression in so many lives of what it means to live for Christ, and he will definitely be missed. I am so thankful I was able to see him on Saturday.

My brother had his birthday way over in England on the 21st, and he turned 21- so happy birthday Jeffy, that's a lucky birthday I think.


Thursday was a wonderful day, I think I really like Thursdays. Work was fun and went by pretty quick, and a gal surprised our office with bringing some drinks for us, and she brought me a mango smoothee. Yum=) Then the girls from a highschool in town who come and help me do greeting cards, brought me a chunk of banana bread. It was pretty rad...and really good bread too. Then Ashley Bates popped in and ended up staying late into the evening, and it was great to catch up.

Woooo, my fingers typed away a lot, sorry for those who are bored reading this. But a verse I want to share that has been in my thoughts lately is,
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all widsom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:16-17 I've really been encouraged to continue reading His word, and to make the effort to encourage another in love, spurring each other to know Him, and to do each thing for the Lord.
