summer-rest

As you can see i finally got some pictures up! it took me a little while to figure it out, but they are on!
yes, we are still in the porcess of finding someone to buy our lovely townhouse- if you know anyone interested please don't hesistate to leave a comment or give us a ring! ha!
my sister and her family just left this past week on their missional journey around the US. I am so excited for them and anxious to hear about their many stories. If you don't know they are traveling around the US in an RV to minister to the homeless and helping churches get connected to these marginalized people. It's exciting and something that God is truly going to meet them in a place of utter selflessness.
My sister and i are very close- i don't think it's truly hit me yet that she is far, far away. I am used to her living close by so that i can just give her a ring and stop by to hang out or have coffee and chat. I am so proud to be her little sis and couldn't ask for a better model to follow!
In the midst of family leaving (seren, andy and their 3 kids) my job is over for the summer since i work at a school. I have found that i have time on my hands that i haven't had in a while. Granted we do have other things going on and i am working part-time, but God has truly given Cory and I some time to just reflect and seek Him out. Some could go crazy with "time on their hands" and i could be one of those, but i am conciously trying to fill it with good things. Family, friends, reading, gardening, etc. This is what summer is all about right?
The Lord is taking Cory and I into a place of complete surrender and trust with our home, work, school, etc. I am thankful for a time of rest to focus on Him!
