miss you already

‎"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
— Dr. Seuss

Thank you Cornerstone Fellowship for being such a blessing to me and my family!

Though our stay has been too short, we feel very attached.

We will miss ya'll!

Please keep in touch...don't forget to join us on facebook!

Our final Sunday is approaching rather quickly.

The moving sale and boxes prove it.

(We still need to find a home for our large red sectional?)

I hope we will get a chance to hug and bid every one of you farewell.

The board is kindly having a potluck following our final service June 26.

If you haven't read the details surrounding our move please scroll down several blog posts or here's a link: http://cornerstonefellowshipag.blogspot.com/2011/05/change.html

I came across this great poem this morning:

There Is Another Day

Is there another day unlike today?
Come sit with me, for holy is our seat.
Our friendship and our fellowship are meet,
our hearts' desires more than we may pray,
our conversation more than we may say,
our daily bread more than the bread we eat,
and now, how beautiful will be our feet
when we arise, and part, and go our way.
Is there another day when we may come
together in the presence of our Friend
and worship Him and not be taken from
each other's side? Although our Lord may send
us on our way, so selah. So shalom.
There is another day. It will not end.
~ by Michael Rew

Christians never have to say goodbye! It's always...See Ya Soon!

extraordinary day

Today Nathaniel, Holly and I had the privilege of attending several parties for some very special people in our church:

Kim Olbricht celebrating his 60th Birthday (he seriously doesn't look a day over 40)!

Darrel and Carol Roberts celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary (they are truly a testimony of real love).

I wish I would have taken a couple pictures today of the Olbrichts and Roberts...

Maybe I'm over-thinking but I keep running into repeated numbers. Today it was 2 celebrations of 60. Last week it was Holly turning 33, I'm already 33 and we're celebrating our 3rd gotcha day with Nathaniel...What does it all mean?! ha ha ha

Well, probably the most extraordinary thing of all is that my son had cake and cupcake at the parties today, and ice cream cake for birthday and gotcha day. Our boy thinks fruit is a treat, so now we need a babysitter to deal with his sugar high... (I'm done with the crazy rambling now.)

Happy Gotcha Day! 3 years ago today, Nathaniel became ours!

Every time I watch this video I am overwhelmed with emotion and love for my specially formed family! Adoption is such a miracle! Remember, we're all adopted into the FAMILY OF GOD! (But, I am also in shock at how much different a person looks by losing 100 lbs!)
