Family...

Today my family made the trek home after spending a few days with Kirstin and I at our new place in KY. This mourning after a breakfast of french toast we spent some time praying. My parents have all ways been spiritual
leaders to us kids and have shown us how to live holy lives...but today
was something different. We didn't just pray together before a meal or
after a short devotion before school started or on a mission trip, we
prayed today as a family for each other. It reminded me of the joy I
find in meeting before The Almighty with others. It was a blessing to
be a apart of.In fact , I think I really needed it, not just prayer for
me, but praying for my family and just being apart of it. Kirstin and I
have not had a church home for quite sometime and we have yet to commit
to a church here in Louisville. We need otherChristians in our
lives...we can't do it alone. That is what God taught me this
mourning...and oh how I hope Kirstin and I can find a church that is
most like a family and not just a place ofcongregation on Sundays. God will provide it...He always provides!

Anyways,it was pretty fun having my whole family here, even Amy (who lives in
China) made it! We spent some time down town at the city waterfront
park, playing around with thefrisbee and soccer ball. And I can't fail to mention that we took ALOT of family pictures. We also went over to the Indiana side of the river and went to the Ohio Rive Nature Perserve...that was a crazy time! We had alot
of fun. The following day we ended up heading south toward cave
country...needless to say we were all pretty dirty at the days end. But
we did make it home and finished it with a late dinner and a movie.
Over all we had a lot of fun and I was so glad to have seen my family.
We don't ever seem to have enough time together, but I guess that is
growing up.
