Melanie's Blog: October 2006

Blog brain

Have you ever had that overwhelming problem of having too many things to blog that you can't even start. Well, that has sort of been my problem the last while--that and my very busy schedule. Just wanted to pop back in and let you know that I am still breathing and I will post some stuff soon.

To tide us all over, here is yet another sweet picture of my dear little neice, Elianna Grace.

She is a sweetie!

The Briggs Boys...

We have a delightful little family in our church who asked if I would take their twin boys' 1 year pictures. They have a 2 year old little girl, 1 year old twins, and another one on the way this winter. It is a busy houshold but their parents are joyful and amazing. They delight in their children and by the pictures, you can see why--they are precious.

In His presence

"...the times of refreshing

shall come from

the presence of the Lord."

Acts 3:19

This verse is so true. We came back yesterday from travelling for the weekend and I was exhausted. Shortly after we got home I realized I had to go to a meeting at church that night and I really didn't feel like it. But as I arrived and we were praying and worshiping the Lord, my spirit became so completely refreshed and revived--it was like a drink of cool water on a hot day. What a blessing to be with others who are in God's presence and carry His presence with them wherever they go.

Colorado wedding...

Last weekend we had the blessing of travelling out to Colorado to witness the marriage covenant of my cousin Krista Schmidt (Dad's sister's daughter) to Delchi Fafach. It was a beautiful day. Krista and Delchi's commitment to the Lord was such a testimony to all who were present there. Here are a few highlights from the weekend...

Here is the crew of us that flew down a little early to help out. We were able to visit the famous Pearl Street, downtown Boulder and eat at the Cheesecake Factory.
