Happy Birthday Amelia!




Remember our blessing that came to live with us last summer?  Well her and Robert share a birthday and that special day is today....so....


Our Dearest Amelia,

We love you so much and are grateful to the Lord that He has allowed us to be a part of your life! You are so beautiful and beautifully made. We love everything about you and are encouraged by you and your walk with the Lord. You challenge us to go harder after His heartbeat. Thank you for being the person we need in our lives!

We believe in you and all that the Lord has planned for you.

Come home soon!

Love, Uncle Bert & Kristin


Now, my friends....go on over to Amelia's blog and tell her Happy Birthday!

a few follow ups and a few prayer requests...

a few follow ups---


a)  we survived summer camp counselor training!  thank you for praying for us! only 3 more weeks and it'll be here!  would love for you to see what our summer camp is about...so go here.  i confessed at staff meeting today that i haven't freaked out yet---and haven't decided if that's good or bad...so prayer warriors, keep it up!

b)  have you checked out amelia's blog yet?  remember me harassing you a few weeks back, yeah, it's me harassing you again, so if you haven't yet, check out Amelia' s blog here.  I've also put a link up to it on the top left hand side of our blog if you need to refer back!  For the original post of me harassing you, click here.

c)  maddie came home today--without too many complications.  she's on anti-inflammatories---to help with her limp that apparently comes with just being a basset hound (sad i know!).  she's recovering from her "surgery" but was really, really close to "being a woman" (for lack of better words)....so what does that mean--it's been a little messy today--on me, just in time to walk into staff prayer (you can go ahead and throw up---because i almost did)---and we have to keep her away from "boys" for two weeks...easier said than done--did we mention we live in an apartment complex, yeah, it's going to be a fun two weeks

d)  remember the blog I told you about our worship pastor Daniel being on the 700 club and gave you the link to his interview?  well now there is a full interview online if you didn't get to watch it on tv--what I sent out earlier was the "interview" they did before hand, but what we have now was the "live" interview.  we watched it together in staff--and i think you should watch it too---so go here.  It's really, really good, so go, watch it....let the Lord use it to challenge you as it did me!  (side note--if you already watched the first clip, they show that in the beginning of this new one, so be sure to keep watching to watch the stuff that comes after the pre-interview).

e) today.  june 9th.  holds a lot of memories. a lot of emotion. it was two years ago today that our friend ashlee died.  my heart still can't grasp all of it.  my heart still has not healed.  this week holds a lot for a lot of us--at least 29 of us--i've already been thinking of and pondering how i would blog on june 11th--2 years since our honduras accident and have decided to post our story--the "sermon"  i shared upon our arrival home.  so hold on for the 11th and i'll post it. but for now, even if you don't know the story...please pray for our hearts.  pray God would continue to minister healing to those involved.  pray that ashlee's story would continue to be used to glorify our Father in Heaven and Salvation would come.

thank you for loving us and for praying for us.  we love you!

Oh, Amelia

We have a roommate this summer and we are ecstatic that a) she is here b) the Lord is so good and c) He wants to pour out His goodness this Summer over ALL of us!

Amelia came 2 weeks ago to start her Burning Ones Internship here at RiverStone.  Amelia is a dear friend of mine and we spent a lot of time together during my time at RHUMC.  It is a joy to have her in our home and to see her on a daily basis once again.  Amelia has just spent her Freshman year at UGA.  We are coming in high expectations of what the Lord wants to do through all of us (myself included) through this internship.

My purpose of telling you this is that Amelia is blogging her internship.  So--I'd like to suggest that you subscribe to her blog, add it to your Google Reader--or whatever other form of keeping up with blogs that you use--add her!  And if you haven't clicked on her name yet (persistent aren't I?) then you can click here for her blog.

Amelia, we are grateful for you and glad you are here!

Amelia and Luke at Graduation last year.  Can't believe it's already been a year!

I share this picture with you as it's from her freshman year at UGA.  If you only knew how often Amelia and I prayed that God would give her friends that LOVE JESUS @ UGA then you would know why this picture is so important.  Thank you Jesus for answering our prayers so abundantly! (She's the second one from the right).
