thank you

i struggle w/ words...
but thankfully, there are those who don't
and usually they say it better than i ever could have


words and music by johnny reid

one of our favorites

If I only had, 

two words left to say to you.
With my last breath 

I'd come face the truth to you.
You've never left my side, 

even when I fell behind.

Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me.

Thank-you for sharing all your love and all your dreams.

Thank-you for every tear of happiness I've cried.

Thank-you for laying down beside me here tonight.

When I close my eyes, 

I say a prayer for one more day with you.
And when I wake, 

I embrace the one who pulls me though.
Who pulls me through the storm 

when I can't go on.

Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me.

Thank-you for sharin' all your love and your dreams.

Thank-you, for every tear of happiness I've cried.

Thank-you for layin' down beside me here tonight.

You've never let me down.
Its like you don't know how.

Thank-you, thank-you for the life you've given me.

Thank-you, for sharin all your love and all your dreams.

Thank-you.

my sister

last Friday my sister Autumn flew across the ocean to Germany!!!

i must say, i am slightly jealous ;)

she went w/ YWAM and will have 3 months of training along w/ 3 months of outreach

she had originally thought that both her training and outreach would be in Germany, 

but it turns out that her outreach is going to either be in Asia or Africa!

there are 17 youth at the base in Germany, and for most of them German is their first language.

thankfully, the teaching sessions are in English and then translated into German

i'm so proud of her!

i think i would be pretty intimidated being surrounded by so many people who barely spoke my language!

i am praying that even w/ the language barrier that she will quickly make friends and feel part of the community there in Germany. 

i'm also praying that she picks up the language quickly!

if you think about it pray for her!

i was able to talk to her on Monday, and she is already super excited about the things that God is doing and is going to do through their team :)
