God is truly amazing!! I am just in awe of his incredible love for me that I so do not deserve. He is constantly drawing me back to Him and showing me His love more and more. The fact that He takes us just as we are (our past, present, and future) and loves us beyond what our minds can even comprehend is just awesome. I have struggled a lot in my life and continue to struggle with doubt. I have struggled with doubting my salvation, but Praise His Holy Name, He has conquered that doubt. I continue to deal with doubting how much God truly loves me and trying to "do" things for God to earn His love. The amazing thing about God is that we can't do anything to make God love us any more or less than He already does. HE IS LOVE!! One of my favorite verses comes from I John 3:1, "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" I pray that everyone who reads this knows how much God truly loves them.

Well, we are one month away from leaving to go to the mountain regions of Peru for a mission trip. There are about 22 people from our church who will be leaving on July 12th and returning on July 20th to travel to Chachapoya, Peru in the Andes Mountains. I just ask that all of you who are willing to pray please begin now for us. Satan is going to do all he can to distracted us from God's purpose on this trip. I have felt it in my life already. We need all the prayers that we can get to be able to stand firm in God's power against the enemy. Please pray for our boldness and courage as we bring the gospel to this area.

Today, Rick and Bubba were in Columbus on their book tour. My cousin, Rhonda, who apparently is a big fan of theirs, drove from Louisville to see them. She e-mailed me a couple of days ago and asked me if I wanted to come meet her there. We had the best time! Rhonda got to Kroger at 3:30 today and they did not arrive until 5:30. Yes, we were the very 1st people in line. She was so nervous that she was making me, Jamie and Hayden nervous too. It was so great to meet Rick and Bubba in person. They are just as nice in person as they are on the radio. It is great to have such men of God on the radio everyday sharing about our Saviour.

Enjoy the pictures!!

Aloha from Vacation Bible School!! As you can probably tell from the pictures, we are travelling to Hawaii in VBS. I am helping with one of the 5 year old classes and we had 18 kids today in our class. Let's just say, they are a very busy class, but each day seems to be a little better. Enjoy the pictures!
