IT'S OVER!!!

Well, not really, but summer has almost come to a close. Sure, it will still be a few weeks before "fall" actually get here, but when school starts, summer is all but over...

I'm sitting here this afternoon working on a video to play tonight at church from our New York Mission Trip. It's been well over a month, but God continues to use that experience to open my eyes to the world around me. It was a great week of ministry, but it was also a great week in His presence. Sometimes we forget that right in the middle of serving Him, He is trying to teach us to be more like Him.

God has been faithful this summer. There is still so much to do here in this community of Artesia. I wish it would all happen at once, but I'm learning to be patient. God is faithful.

I'm looking forward to the fall - I always long for the summer to get here, but honestly it's the fall I enjoy most. It brings a sense of renewal, a time to put feet to all of the commitments, and most of all, it brings some sense of normalcy back to this hectic life - it's gonna be good, because God is faithful!!!
