My baby sister moved into college today and I was there to help. That is for sure a bitter sweet thing for me, but something I rejoice in nonetheless, because I know how much it is going to stretch and grow her. I'm excited for what an amazing experience it is going to be for her.
Then, tonight at church I had the wonderful privilege of helping out with a community outreach event, free dinner for those who need it. I was assigned outside with the kiddos and it was tons-o-fun! :) Britney was my little shadow and a joy to be around. Her mom said that her and the kids are going to come to church on Sunday. That is definitely worth rejoicing in!
Lastly, I rejoice in a fun end to my evening. Hanging out with good people, driving around town searching for hidden treasure, and simply enjoying one another's company. The perfect combination for joy.
(I know I haven't had many pics the last few days, I'll get on that again)
In an effort to "rejoice always" I will be posting thoughts each day about the best part of my day.
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Phillipians 4:4-9
