So Blessed!

If I could sum up this past week, I could only say that I'm so blessed.  The church family did so many things that pulled us in to being part of the church family.  Thank you for your prayers.  There have been many blessing of spirit filled conversations with believers and non-believers.  Now, let us look to the future... This coming week and for the rest of the summer we will be a team of four.  Please pray that we will come together as the beautiful God ordained team God has put together.  This coming week we'll be working at STRAM camp, which is an mountain adventure camp designed to pull in youth from many different backgrounds.  We will be working as support filling many different areas of ministry and sleeping in tents.  I am really excited about sleeping in a tent up in the mountain air, but one of our team members has not camped at all.  It will be an adventure!   I ask that you continue to pray for us.  Thank you for reading :)  I pray that the you may see the Lord in your everyday life.  Know that He's with you in every struggle and every blessing. 
2 Cor 4:6-18 6For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you. But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God. Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
