Love and Stuff

So this weekend Jeremy and I went on a couple's retreat with other young couples through our church.  To get together with other couples and see what God meant for our lives is something I'll always cherish.  I love these weekends when we can get away, get to know other couples, learn more about the ones we know, and just fellowship with God and each other.  I loved meeting new couples and learning their stories.  Jeremy and I can learn a lot from those that have been married a couple of years longer than us and with children.  They have so much to give in ways of advice and I soaked it up.  I can honestly say that I love each and every person there this weekend because they are my brothers and sisters in Christ and I've committed to praying for them and their families.  Thank you to Mark and Teresa Harvey for setting it all up and for bestowing their 27 years' worth of marital knowledge on all of us young'uns.  Basically, I had a blast.  Here are some photos from the weekend from Julie's camera (thanks friend!).

Love this photo.
A great shot of my new haircut.

May Our Praise

May our praise be all that You can hear
From our lives to Your ears, Father

Wondrous King, You are clothed in majesty
Your hands set people free, Father
All pain is over as Your love draws us closer
Your grace goes on forever
So we sing
So we sing

Every heart should feel
The depth of Your mercy
How beautiful is Your healing, Father
And teach us, Lord, to attract You even more
We just want to be where You are
Be where You are

This is our love song to You
Father, our love song to You

We never deserved this never-ending peace
You're a God who protects the weak
So we sing
So we sing

May our praise be all that You can hear
From our lives to Your ears, Father.
