Pictures but not a lot of pictures

I've already shared with you about Jack's Epic birthday party but we actually did other things as well. 

On Thursday evening we tried to have family pictures taken by our good friend Kristin Bleger. It was pouring rain, however, so we postponed until Saturday morning. 

Friday morning we met the church staff in the mountains and had staff photos taken. The rain had stopped for a few hours and we had some of the most incredible views! And therefore incredible pictures. After pictures we had lunch together. All 23 of us! 

I didn't get a picture of everyone. This is one half of the table. 
On Saturday my sister, Meghan, and my
Mom drove down with my nieces, Lilah and Ashlyn. I'm so excited to have company! So are my kids :) 

Sunday morning I preached both services. I stole this picture from my friend Matt. If you are ever interested in hearing the messages (mine or Mark's) we do have podcasts on our church website. www.iriverchurch.com
Last night we went walking and I captured this gem of Meghan and her babies. Definitely a multitasking mom! 
There will be more photos of this week I have no doubt. This Friday is our women's retreat. Thankfully I have an amazing team of women who have gone above and beyond to make this an incredible event. I can't wait for it!
God is the God of our yesterdays. He allows us the memory of them so we can turn the past into the ministry for the future.

"I don't think you can explain how Christian faith works. It is a mystery. And I love this about Christian spirituality. It cannot be explained, and yet it is beautiful and true. It is something you feel, and it comes from the soul."
