SELAH

Josh and I had a great time at SELAH on Wednesday night with our Grace Hills family! It was such an encouragement to worship alongside students. Neil surprised Josh with his new electric guitar just in time to get tuned up and play around a bit before we got started! Josh was elated! He's been waiting for this pretty instrument to come in since February. We concluded they were growing the tree, but it was worth the wait for quality!

It was a very special night--Josh's leadership through music and exhortation spoke so strongly to our hearts. It was so fun to sing alongside him! We got to mix and mingle with the students for a prayer time while Josh played some music on his phone so that we could bridge the gap between "stage" and "congregation". We're all the church!

Phil spoke on endurance and used examples from his personal testimony, a special father and son, and our savior Jesus. My mind jotted down as many notes as it could as I look forward to some serious endurance in the next month or so and beyond.

Last night we had rehearsal at CCF for Sunday morning's worship service. Josh is filling in a few times this summer while they are looking for a new worship leader.

Afterward we got to hang out with some great friends and newly weds, Matt and Johanna! Their new home is getting all set up as they've been settling in during the past week. We swapped fun stories and prayers for the decisions and turning points ahead.

You hold me now
