So encouraged...

Spurgeon sure has a way with words...I read this today and was blessed! Enjoy!

Charles Spurgeon

"The unsearchable riches of Christ." —Ephesians 3:8

My Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Lord is more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. My Master is more willing to supply your wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts of my Lord Jesus. When you put the crown on His head, you will only crown Him with silver when He deserves gold. My Master has riches of happiness to bestow upon you now. He can make you to lie down in green pastures, and lead you beside still waters. There is no music like the music of His pipe, when He is the Shepherd and you are the sheep, and you lie down at His feet. There is no love like His, neither earth nor heaven can match it. To know Christ and to be found in Him—oh! this is life, this is joy, this is marrow and fatness, wine on the lees well refined. My Master does not treat His servants churlishly; He gives to them as a king giveth to a king; He gives them two heavens—a heaven below in serving Him here, and a heaven above in delighting in Him for ever. His unsearchable riches will be best known in eternity. He will give you on the way to heaven all you need; your place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks, your bread shall be given you, and your waters shall be sure; but it is there, THERE, where you shall hear the song of them that triumph, the shout of them that feast, and shall have a face-to-face view of the glorious and beloved One. The unsearchable riches of Christ! This is the tune for the minstrels of earth, and the song for the harpers of heaven. Lord, teach us more and more of Jesus, and we will tell out the good news to others.

D-ship Ideas...


Okay, so we started D-ship groups with our college group this summer and it has been amazing! Guys are off the charts growing and the girls are doing well too...although, ladies...I need suggestions...

Girls tend to not trust each other very well...group setting are fun for social time more than deep spiritual confession and accountability type time...I guess I'm asking for advice on how to break through some of that...Have ya'll been in D-ship group setting? How did they do things? Any advice? ideas?

I'm open to suggestions and certainly am praying for new ideas...a couple of girls here are praying and brainstorming with me...but I figured why not put my feelers out with the girls I love and trust...and I guess guys if you have suggestions you can add them too...heehee...

I know there is a spiritual battle at hand and the girls are timid of unpacking anything...I get it...pray for us if you think about us...we meet every Monday night...and if you have any ideas send them my way!! ;)

Technology...

Wow has it really been 3 months since I last posted a comment on here...I am such a loser! ;) Life has been so fast and so much has been happening! As the summer was getting under way we started having some technical difficulties...it was weird... everything technical just began to stop working...AWESOME! heehee ;) I know you Chadwicks had a day with the yard equipment not that long ago...heehee...Well I feel your pain...

So we had our computer stop working, and then our camera broke, and then I dropped my cell phone in coke and it died and I lost all my phone numbers...and I mean ALL! You can imaging the frustration...we were able to get a new laptop, and I was able to replace the phone, but I NEED TO GET PHONE NUMBERS FROM YOU SWEET FRIENDS!!!...and we are waiting on the camera for a bit...so pics are rare right now...this season of our lives may be missing from the photo album, but it's all good...heehee Hence the reason I have yet to send out the wonderful pics of our home!! We finally moved in!! Waahoo!!! It is beautiful on the inside...we won't talk about the exterior yet. heehee, but once I get a pic I will post it for all to see!!!

Blessings!! Glad to be on here again!!
