Go Downtown Pres

I am so thankful to be serving on the launch team of this new church. It is amazing to see all that God is doing for HIS church even now. He is working in incredible ways and I am so blessed and grateful to get to serve along side a great team of people who are working to make this new church a reality.

Downtown Presbyterian will be launching this fall with preview/reveal services starting in the next month or two. ANYONE who is interested in coming, please please please let me know! We would love to have you come worship with us.

check out our website www.ourdownchurch.org I copied the stuff below from the website.

Downtown Presbyterian will be guided by Scripture, serve the community, following Jesus by eating with, speaking to, and claiming as neighbors the sick, hungry, homeless and lost. We will be regional in scope, gathering people from surrounding neighborhoods and the Greater Columbia area. We want to reflect the diversity of Columbia. We will worship with joy while embracing the richness of ancient spiritual practices and remaining open to modern worship styles. We will welcome all people to worship, learn and serve with us no matter where they are on their spiritual journey.

Giving my life to the only one...

Its an (almost) full moon right at the moment. For pretty much as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by the moon. That is still true. I have been out at our lake house today washing bed spreads and doing school work. The weather was spectacular (mid-70's) and the sun was out in full force. This evening I was able to see the sun set on one side of the house and see the moon shining brightly on the other. It was truly God's creativity- what an amazing artist.

Anyways.. every time I see the moon lyrics from a contemporary Christian song called Starry Night by Chris August. The chorus says "I've given my life to the only One who makes the moon reflect the sun... every starry night, that was his design." God's total and utter creative is just simply Awesome. Absolutely amazing.

This picture was taken on my phone and does not do it justice. But if you can imagine me is the other side of the point with shades of hot pink and orange as the sun was setting. The moon was already out in full force with the clarity to see the crevices and craters. It was reflecting off the water that was a blue-ish color on this side of the point and was a vivid orange-ish-pink on the other side. Just awesome.

Ahhhhh-MAZING weather!

I am not quite remotely ready for summer to be here yet (that means a thesis has to be finished...) but I have been LOVING this great weather we have had recently! It is SO beautiful!!! Today it got up to around 70 degrees... maybe even just above 70! So nice!! And the sweet sun shine is so wonderful! LOVE LOVE LOVE the spectacular weather and so thankful for a little break in the winter temperatures for a few days!

Now I know my ABCDs....

I have been slack the past week or two at doing my snapshots of thanks. I can assure you it is NOT because I have not had sooooo much to be thankful for. I just have been lazy about posting. BUT... Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday I got to spend with Sarah Boyd. Despite that she was sick Wednesday and not feeling great, I still loved spending the time with her. Here is a video of her cuteness on Sunday while she was painting a picture for her great grandma!!! She is not normally topless, but watercolors and a white shirt don't make for such a great mix, so the shirt came off!
