mis hermanas

My sisters are a blessing! I talked to them for the first time in almost 2 weeks last night. They are so loving! Irina cracks me up...she said she couldn't eat for two days because she ate too much at her friend's house. I asked her what she ate, but she didn't know what it was...crazy girl!

Then, there's Becky. She said she's having a welcome-home party for me soon after I get home on July 30th. The plan for the party: to watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. And, she has a bugbite. She said it was kind of weird when she went to the mall, just walking around with her eye swelled shut.

One of my teachers from high school also blessed me this weekend! She's visiting her daughter in Fort Collins, so I got to hang out with her and her grandkids. So fun since I'm not living with anybody under the age of 22 for a while. We re-enacted Cinderella and ate good food!

Colorado

I'm visiting Colorado State University for about 6 weeks for new staff training with Campus Crusade for Christ.  I'm reminded how blessed we are in America!  Being in a new place for a while, I have to find a new church.  It's too easy!  Seven different Christian churches were recommended to us within 15 minutes driving distance.  I found several others, and one is only .2 miles away!  That makes me want to praise God for my community of brothers and sisters here! That makes me want to pray for my brothers and sisters in other places where it's much more challenging to worship Jesus!

Corinthians

Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you've got, be resolute, and love without stopping. -1 Corinthians 16:13

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. -2 Corinthians 3:17                  (I recommend chapters 3-5; I'm still learning)
