Tonight was Summit and it was so awesome (more on that at a later post), but the truly awesome part of tonight was after church. Our pastor and his wife asked our family to accompany them to her grandmother's house. We always take communion at Summit and her grandmother is homebound and nearing the end of her life...but she still wants to partake with the body of Christ. What an awesome privilege it was to bear witness of this servitude. I feel very honored that they asked us to go and be a part of such an intimate time. I know they could have taken any number of people from our congregation, but tonight...they chose our family. Tonight will go down as one of my favorite communions.
Thank you Jesus for shedding you blood for me...for being broken...so that I might have life....thank you for choosing me to be your daughter...a daughter of the King.

Unexpected Blessings
The house is quiet...again. Q is at Guard Drill and the kids have already left to go to "Rockin' On The Ridge" (our annual church service at the park), so I'm just going through some photos on the computer and came across some from Q's deployment.
God is so good! He has used the military as a vehicle for Q to be able to experience so many different places. In 1998 he went to San Diego, CA to help with road work. In 2005 he was able to travel to Alaska to be a part of the Alaskan Road Project...he has always wanted to go there. He witnessed the destruction of Hurricane Katrina as a soldier offering help and security. This past year he served our country in Iraq and was able to see Germany and Ireland as he passed their way. He traveled through Kuwait and Baghdad and even visited some of the palaces in that area. But the one place that is an experience he won't forget is traveling to the City of Ur while on deployment in Iraq. Ur is the place that Abraham lived, the Father of our Faith. That is an opportunity that only God could've orchestrated. I love that about my God...he gives us the desires of our heart.
Here's a few pictures that I don't think I've shared here before...
Q outside the ruins of Terah's (Abraham's father) house...
The footpath leading to Terah's house...no doubt Abraham walked this very way many times...wow!
Q standing in front of the Ziggurat (not sure of spelling), a place for idol worhsip...
Q and some other soldiers that were able to see the City Of Ur...
