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

Goodbye Friends

First of all, I just have to say, not having a computer and then being out of town for a few days really threw me off. I will be back to faithful blogging from here on out :)

Tonight I rejoice in the blessing of having good friends in my life who are a great example to me. My rejoicing is bittersweet because those dear friends, Nathan, Shannon, and Josiah  left for Hong Kong today. Forever. Well, not forever really but three years is going to seem like forever. And that is probably the next time I will see them. Three years is a long time. But, I rejoice in the fact that they are choosing to follow God's leading. They have given their lives over to serving him and he has led them to go train pastors in Asia. I know he is going to use them in amazing ways. (If you want to hear more about their ministry or how you can get involved in supporting them, let me know. Trust me, God's gonna use them in a big way and you just might want to be one small part of that). Anyway, saying good bye was hard, but I know it was right. I rejoice in the fact that I didn't get scheduled to work today and that I could go to the airport to see them off. Can't wait to hear that they made it there safely...
