  VBS was really, really great this year....

We had an excellent group of teachers - they cared so much about the kids and were so committed to making it a wonderful two weeks for them...they did a good job...
..Sweet faces..


..Precious Lives..


It was a very blessed, very beautiful two weeks...praising God for what He did...and praying protection for the seeds of truth that were planted...praying they'll remember the love and safety they felt here..
............................................................................
I cannot praise my Saviour enough for being sovereign...and CARING for me even when I don't like His sovereign will. I don' t have words to describe His faithfulness and love and constancy in our lives the last few weeks - the way He's just held us...and kept us going through each other...Grief doesn't go away...no, it may actually intensify as time goes on...but God doesn't leave when we cry. God doesn't leave when we ask questions...He comes through every time. "It may feel like He's failed you - but He hasn't failed you YET...don't you know there's another chapter in this story of your life?" (-beautiful truth from our pastor's sermon 2 weeks ago) I heard this song by Nicole Nordeman today and it just fit...hope it blesses you...
I believe in the rest of the story.I believe there's still ink in the pen.I have wasted my very last day.Trying to change what happened way back when...I believe it's the human condition.We all need to have answers to why.More than ever, I'm ready to say that I will still sleep peacefully.With answers out of reach from me...until...Someday all that's crazy.All that's unexplained.Will fall into place.And someday all that's hazy through a clouded glass.Will be clear at last.And sometimes we're just waiting.For someday...We are born with a lingering hunger.We are born to be unsatisfied.We are strangers who can't help but wander.And dream about the other side of...Someday all that's crazy.All that's unexplained.Will fall into place.And someday all that's hazy through a clouded glass.Will be clear at last.And sometimes we're just waiting.For someday...Every puzzle's missing piece.Every unsolved mystery.More than half of every whole.Rests in the Hands that hold you for someday
Carrie's sister Caitlin is getting married on Saturday - yes, so much grief and so much joy! Pray for all of us, please, if God brings us to your mind - thanks!
...Live fully...Seek God...

Heidi! Thank you for the post...and for your header. The struggles in my life are different than the struggles in yours--but the truths are the same!

You've got some wonderful pictures of the kids!

Blessings...

sometimes I can't believe it's summer and VBS time...I think I'm still back somewhere between spring and summer... but I'm enjoying the warmer weather although it's rather hot right now...still praying for you.

Thanks for sharing the song. So profound and realtive to where some of us stand. There's still ink in the pen, and the story gets more facinating as it's written. PTL!

Hey Heidi,I don't know if you remember me,I was up for VBS 7 yrs. ago,and ended up getting married to a guy (Laverne Schrock) that I met there.Anyway,I just came across your site and how interesting it is to me.I had lived at Slate Falls for about 15 mo. and I still feel like I left a part of my heart there.So any news from there and Sioux is always of interest to me;and I would so love to come up sometime again for a visit. I like your last post,of course I got to know the Mitchell family quite well,altho' I had not had much contact with them in the past few years.And I had heard about Carrie "how sad" , and yet I was rejoicing to know that she was ready to meet her Saviour,unlike many of the other young people from Slate.OH,I still have such a burden on my heart for those dear souls who are my friends,and sometimes I dream of going back and living there.But of course the Lord would have to work that all out,as I'm sure the mission there would not be open to having someone like us go. Anyway,I was happy to find you on here;maybe I can keep up better on what is happening in the north.And I try to stay in contact with Verna Stoltzfus in Dryden too. God's blessings to you and your family as you minister to our native friends! ~ Anna Mary

i'm sure you do know how it feels... it's comforting to know that i'm not alone and that it's somewhat normal...
