SUMMER '11

When I last got on my blog it was spring,
now God has spent an entire summer making me
more like His son. God did many things in my life this
summer, and now it is time to write about them and
tell how he blessed me through them.


He blessed me with Hannah's wedding, with Maggie Day's
presence in our home. He gave me a VBS i will never forget.
He gave me warts (that i pray he will take away), a chance at
summer basketball, brought Courtney Joy back to intern,
and opened the doors for a One Hope Center.

God was so good and yet He did more...
He blessed me with a AWESOME P61,
and brought the neigborhood kids to church.
God gave me the oppurtunity to watch God
break my dad's heart over the crisis in Sudan
and Somalia, to watch him melt my youth pastor's
heart for his kids he sooo desperately wants to bring
home. God gave me the courage to join the worship team.
And he brought Quinton into my life. A four year old, autistic
boy who was tall for his age and obessed with trains, that
I loved on and loved on only for God to show me how much He
loved me.

This is my summer the summer that God gave me.
Summer '11. it is summed up in the life of Josiah in
2 Chronicles 34-37 that i sum up like this. (three chapters that changed a summer
and a life.) When we seek God, He answers. When we know
God He helps us do great things, He gives us great gifts and great
joy, and He gives us the HOPE and the POWER to tell the world
that this is what love is...GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE HAS COME
FOR US ALL.
