Well, I have no pics today (the memory on my computer is filled up with all those pics I take...gonna get an external hard drive soon), but I wanted to quickly post a big THANK YOU!!!! to all my family and friends who made Mother's Day and my Birthday so special today. From the cards and gifts and money to the flowers and surprise cake last night at the Duell's I have had just a wonderful birthday today. For those of you who didn't know...I turned 30 today. It's so weird...I still feel like I'm 23 and I'm not quite sure why! Well, 30 is great and I feel loved and wonderful, so thank you all!

p.s. Desi took our friends to the airport today. Richard and Thomas were here from the Richmond, Virginia area for 3 days. They are ministry partners who oversee 11 simple churches and we were so blessed to have them come out and stay with us this weekend. They are just amazing men who love God and shared a wonderful message of the Kingdom with our church Saturday night. I'll share more about that here later. Well, we hope to continue and deepen our friendship with them and this weekend sure did that...we were blessed, encouraged and inspired. Pics to come soon too!

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. ~Dinah Craik
Favorite Quotes From C.S. Lewis
"You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body."
"This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted."
"Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult." I really resonated with this one!
"The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."
"The real problem is not why some pious, humble, believing people suffer, but why some do not."
"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!""
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."
"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn."
"Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite."
"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."
"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell."

- I love my husband, kids, blogging, photography and house church gatherings. I believe the most valuable way I can spend my time is enjoying other people that God has brought into my life. I want to enjoy God to the fullest here on earth and seek to be a part of His Kingdom here on earth.

Happy Happy Birthday, Dear Rose.

Oh Happy Birthday!!! Wow 30......yes, don't you feel like you are just having a sleep over and you are going to have to go home at some point! Perspective is a mysterious thing. I am so glad that everyone did such a great job celebrating you and the blessing you are to so many people! I am thankful for you! Can't wait till we can sit down together someday with a latte!!!! Love, Denise
Did you get my card....YET?
