Roomy and Church

Well, I moved my new roomy in yesterday. She has alot of really fun furniture and stuff. I can't wait to meet her kitty, Toby. Before, Mark and Missy got there to move stuff in I went in Chris' room to see if everything was the same as it was when I closed it up after Ben came and got the remainder of her stuff. It was... so the kitties and I sat on the floor and I couldn't help but remember the many nights Chris and I sat up in the very spot I was and talked about life and everything else . I thought how much I miss that but what a relief to have someone fill that space. I have liked living alone but I need someone to talk to when I get home. It has been a little lonely. I look forward to getting to know my future sister-in-law. I trust we will get along famously.
On a more serious note, Horizon has been going through some really interesing things to put it nicely. I have come to find more how amazing God is and how he always does provide. I have also come to know more closely and really respect the leadership that the Lord has risen up at Towson Horizon. Praise God! I am excited for the future of my church community and look forward to working with this group of leadership. Well more later.

Caleb

Wow! what a weekend. Some dear friends of mine that I only met a couple months ago lost there son this weekend. Matt and Katie Stevens are a part of the sunday night prayer group I go to. On Friday of last week there son, Caleb, was killed in a car accident. How tragic. I was in shock and I can't believe that I just saw him a month prior. It is incomprehensible to me how a parent deals with something like that. He was only 10 years old and was an awesome kid. The Stevens family is one of the coolest families I know and they are so on fire for God. They work so hard serving Christ and doing what they feel God calling them to. They have such a passion for him. I have been praying for them the last couple of days and I have been praying the typical stuff when something like this happens...you know...for peace and comfort; support and hope. I trust he will provide those things. But I kept ending up asking God why and telling him that I just don't understand something like this. I went to the viewing yesterday and I just didn't know what to say. What do you say? I told them I was praying for them and that I loved them. I don't know... It is really hard to understand something like this. On a cool note, the skate park has finally got a name...The Caleb J. Stevens Memorial Skate Park. Praise God for that!

Romans 5

Romans 5
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.


HECK YEAH!
