"Oh no... Nikki's hurt.. what are we going to do??"

Spring Break Adventures

A flooded road in Clayburn Village....yes... it rained the WHOLE two weeks :P
Heather driving on our mini road trip to Tacoma, Washington
me.. the navigator, excited to go see the Chorale
The boys staying at Joel's house. They were nice enough to invite Heather and I over after the concert.
The road to Tacoma....I think this trip was one of the highlights of spring break. It was so much for to have Heather meet some of my friends from school. The Chorale sang beautifully, and the drive went pretty smoothly. I can't believe we didn't get lost!

Happy Birthday Steph and Amy!!

Two weeks ago a group of us girls went to the Sandbar restaurant in Granville Island for Stephanie and Amy's birthdays. It was great to meet some of their childhood friends, and some new friends. I love these two girls so much. They are a ton of fun, great friends and godly women! Happy Birthday girls!

Psalm 84

How Lovely is your dwelling place,

O LORD Almighty!

My soul yearns, even faints,

for the courts of the LORD;

my heart and my flesh cry out

for the living god.

Even the sparrow has found a home,

and the swallow a nest for herself,

where she may have her young -

a place near your altar,

O LORD Almighty, my King and

my God

Blessed are those who dwell in your house;

they are ever praising you.

Blessed are those whose strength is

in you,

who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.

As they pass through the Valley of

Baca,

they make it a place of springs;

the autumn rains also cover it

with pools.

They go from strength to strength,

till each appears before God in

Zion.

Hear my prayer, O LORD God

Almighty;

listen to me, O God of Jacob.

Look upon our shield, O God;

look with favor on your anointed

one.

Better is one day in your courts

than a thousand elsewhere;

I would rather be a doorkeeper in

the house of my God

than dwell in the tents of the

wicked.

For the LORD God is a sun and

shield;

the LORD bestows favor and honor;

no good thing does he withhold

from those whose walk is blameless.

O LORD Almighty,

blessed is the man who trusts in

you.

Winter Retreat

This past weekend I went on a winter retreat with my youth group up to northern Michigan. It was an incredible time to deepen relationships with the students, have a lot of fun in the snow and on the ice and watch God work in their lives. We got to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of Memaree's decision to follow Christ and next year we will get to do that with Marcus and Perry! It was a great weekend all around.
