We had a wonderful week with my cousin's two sweet girls Olivia and Kathryn!
Here are a few pictures from our week...

Hidden in the dwelling place


April 9, 2009


I love Philippians 4:6-7 in the Amplified Bible...

"Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God. And God's peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."


"To be without care inwardly is the surest foundation for a successful Christian life. The soul that is hidden in the dwelling place of God is the soul that will be able to bear triumphantly earth's greatest trials and conquer its strongest foes." Hannah Whitall Smith

So Great a Blessing!

“Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God's goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new - created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing
William Law

Victory Junction Gang Camp- Easter!

April 6, 2009

Mirielle was able to go to Victory Junction's Easter bash this weekend! She brought Alina along for the fun. We are so grateful for the kindness and generosity of all who work there!

Spirit of anticipation!


April 5, 2009

"We need today a fresh spirit of anticipation that springs out of the promises of God. We must declare war on the mood of nonexpectation, and come together with childlike faith. Only then can we know again the beauty and wonder of the Lord's presence among us." Tozer

Mirielle loves animals- real and stuffed :). This week our favorite nurse Michelle Osborne surprised Miri with a homemade bear named Bosco. Today our dear friend Julie Malament surprised Miri with a Build-a-Bear named Chloe. She's one happy, grateful camper!!

Spiritual Tranquility





















April 2, 2009


"Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. If we understand our first and sole duty to consist of loving God supremely and loving everyone, even our enemies, for God's dear sake, then we can enjoy spiritual tranquility under every circumstance." - A.W. Tozer
