Pilgrim
Jeremy and I went to see the play Pilgrim put on by CovLife teens the last two weekends.
It was pretty much amazing.
I being a horrible sister-in law took no pictures, actually no camera flashes allowed, so that is my excuse, hence why I stole your picture Josie.
Some favorite kids were in it...Evan...Tuffer...and various and assorted others.
Josie (2nd in from the right) was Deception in Vanity Fair...and a Dancing Shepherdess in which she does an Irish jig.
Impressive, right?!

Featured Friend
This latest featured friend is one of my longest friends. She has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. And I hope when we are Ba's age we are still friends. My favorite thing about Sharpie is her wit, if you know her...you know what I mean. We have too many memories to share them all, but one that I will never forget is- One winter Sharpie locked her keys in her car, with it running, while we were in the Applebee's for about 3 hours. When the police came and finally jimmied the lock Sharpie goes "well, ange at least the cars warm"! After that event her dad, the famous David Sharp, made me a spare key to Sarah's car. :)
1. Full Name: Sarah Elizabeth Sharp (soon to be Sarah Lucia Smith…I have to go to the SS office and have it legally changed. I’ve been married for 6 months and still have not done this.)
2. Favorite place to eat lunch? Chili’s is really good…..oh or Albie’s
3. what is your worst habit? Not picking up after myself…which is why my house if often messy
4. what is currently on your things to read list? Anything by Jeff Shaara, C.S. Lewis or Agatha Christie. More specifically? This book I have on the Cold War….I can’t remember what it’s called though
5. how do we know each other? 7th grade caregroup is where it all started. I remember hanging out with you for the first time at the Lohmanns’ group, and oddly enough I remember what I was wearing Weird. But, since then, it has been a wonderful (and adventurous) friendship. Lots of memories to laugh about
6. if you could star in a musical which one would it be, and what character would you play? Oh I do not know. Let’s say Phantom….and I’ll be that girl…
7. taylor swift or carrie underwood? Neither really. But since I have to pick one, Taylor Swift.
8. Favorite tv series? Right now it would be Life. It stars Damein Lewis, who was also in Band of Brothers, and I think he is a phenomenal actor.
9. if you could choose 4 famous people (dead or alive) to have dinner with, who would you pick? C.S. Lewis, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Abigail Adams
10. what is something on your bucket list you haven't accomplished yet? I would need to look at my bucket list…which I do not have with me ummm….can I pick one from Mike’s bucket list? He said he will kiss me on top of the Empire State building one day. I am waiting for that one…
11. biggest change or goal in 2009? Well, the goal for 2009 is to somehow buy a house And I define “goal” very loosely, as we do not know how that will happen, but we trust that if God is leading us in that direction, He will provide!

standing on the promises
(here is a long post to make up for my lack of posting)
Promise-
1. a declaration that something will or will not be done, given, etc.
2. an express assurance on which expectation is to be based
synonyms: word, pledge, covenant
Today I was reading Sinclair Ferguson's article Boldly and Expectantly Leaning on the Promises. He asks the question, How am I to live my life in the light of God’s promises? Here are his three points-
1. I must know what God's promises are.
2. I must feed my mind on the promises of God.
3. I must let God's promises govern my life-style.
The statement it makes to the Lord when I am not reading, memorizing and trusting in His promises is that I have little or no expectation. I know His promises for me are good. And my prayer is that I would have a greater desire to know them and allow them to govern my life-style. Not only is it an opportunity to quiet the lies in my own heart, but is a way the Lord uses us to minister to those we love.
Three promises that serve me in the day to day:
When I am anxious, Philippians 4:6,7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." His peace which is beyond our understanding WILL guard my heart.
When I am tempted to be short with Jeremy and I remember that "the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love" towards me always. (psalm 103:8) How that should push me to strive to be like Christ, and show the same love to my husband.
And when times are good the Lord always calls to my mind the verse in Psalm 34:8 "Taste and see that he is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!" His character never changes, He is always good to the one who rest in him.
Two questions: Which of Ferguson's three points do you need to grow in?? What is one promise of God that you love?
