so its been quite a while. surprise, here i am!
-corn maze craziness is over. it has by far been my very favorite part of RVR this time of year. the retreat schedule worked out that i was able to work every weekend of maizefest. the beauty of these hills this time of year is breath-taking, mind-blowing (kinda weird descriptors, eh). so many colors woven throughout the mountains & valleys visible across the crisp, clear autumn air. i love it.
-catered a reception for a Halloween reception. interesting. beautiful. funtastic.
-been so super blessed with awesome people in these parts. each family at the ranch is so neat. it has been so nice getting to know them, enjoy their generosity, & serve alongside of them. the Lord is showing me His grace through these families & other great people in the area. what a great encouragement. & of course it comforts my mama knowing they are there for her girl.
-this past week i enjoyed some exceptionally excellent adventures: girl time, outings, time with the families, working out... & our intern adventures! we had some day trips this past week--canoed the gunpowder (11ish miles), rock climbed at earthtreks, & hiked the appalachian trail (9ish miles). katie & i planned the meals/snacks which was an adventure in itself especially due to the current economics. everything came together & we all had such a great time together out & about.
-i worked the retreat this weekend. served meals=100+ happy men. they were pals. my workeds for the weekend done good. we had a couch burning bonfire one night thanks to zack.
-been appreciated the Lord's teaching & working in, around, & through me. very grateful for how evident it has been these days. been disgusted by the filth of my depraved human nature but immediately filled with joy & hope... throughout my reading & thoughts i keep hearing over & over "but Christ"... praise Him for radically directing & absorbing God's justice in His great love. it has been awesome to be surrounded (both literally & figuratively) by brothers & sisters who support, listen, encourage, challenge, rejoice, pray, serve, & love with me. the network the Lord has blessed me with comforts me in this time i know the Lord has brought me to. it's exciting to know He has placed me here in this moment, is with me in it, & is displaying His power--ultimately good for all. oh to have the confidence & assurance of David & Paul in God's control & perfect will. how grateful i am for His grace to meet me where i'm at, where He has brought me, that His power may rock this world.
i love you.
