. . . a glimpse into my heart.

Yesterday was our last Sunday at River of Life and Dave preached his last sermon there. It was a great message and I hoped it brought some people to a more real place in their relationship with Christ. Yesterday's sermon isn't online yet but here's his sermon from last week: The Narrow Road It was bittersweet. I am excited to be moving on to new things but we are really going to miss our small group and the youth of River of Life and others. We've made a lot of great friends and it's hard to leave relationships behind. But knowing God is in this brings me peace. Tonight was our last night with our small group and we realized how much we are really going to miss them all. They're such wonderful, supportive friends and have walked with us through hard times and praise God with us in the great times. They've made us feel special and loved. If you're reading this, you know who you are, thanks!

Dave and I spent 5 days in Seattle and just got back about a week ago. It was the first time we went to Seattle without our kids and I pray we never have to go without them again. We left them home because we were going for a funeral and it would be too difficult to have kids around and have to explain all the tears to our little 3 year old. Dave's step sister Katie died on May 29th. She was only 27 and left behind a 9 year old boy, DeVon. It was the sadest thing we've ever had to do but we're thankful we were able to be there for the rest of Dave's family and to say goodbye to a sister. Here's a few pictures of Dave's family.
