I love the reminder and prayer Heather shared with us. It is a beautiful picture and gives us purpose everyday. To gaze and seek on all that He is and all that He has already revealed to us.

I have to tell you it has been so cool to go through Creation with my children over the last couple of weeks. We have immersed ourselves in "the beginning" of it all. And it has been a joy to see the light bulbs click on everyday something new is discovered about His amazing design.

This weekend I was reminded again about the spiritual gifts He specifically gave to each of us in 1 Corinthians. Sometimes there is a lot of "NOISE" that keeps us from operating out of those gifts. On this earth we have to learn how to ignore the noise and press forward. Oh how the word tells us that satan has come to kill, steal and destroy-----he is going right after those spiritual gifts you were given. The manifestation of Christ in each of us is shown by our love and putting those spiritual gifts to use.

We are in our 3rd week of bible study. How are things going? Is prayer going well---do you have enough time set back for prayer (some of you are beginning with prayer so that you are sure to get it in). What about your prayer warrior and encourager--have you been able to get some excited volunteers to serve in those roles. Please pass those names on to Holly/Heather and Jan/Sherry when you have them. What about daily work? Hopefully they are excited to get into the word daily for the treasures they will unfold. Let us hear your stories---blog them and share what He is doing!!!!!

You are so special-each one of you! We can't wait to see you this Sunday for danish and coffee (bring your families:))

Hugs~
