.. celebration in Heaven.. a soul was saved today!!!

wow.. not quite sure where to begin...so much going on... great stuff..
the trip to Holland, Michigan was all I hoped it would be and more.. lot's of laughter and deep conversation.. the sunshine, the beach and the lighthouse and the windmill and all of it, the Bed and Breakfast and the food and the fun, and the shopping... the comfort of friendships "tried and true" a safe place to be who we are.. sisters in Christ, friends for eternity :) taking it all in and feeling so very blessed.. God is good!

coming home to a Potluck Dinner for Hope for Life.. sharing our stories and connecting.. a common cause, a common calling, love for one another and excitement.. God is good!

then, today... confirmed with my "first client" that she was still up to going to church together.. had gotten her a Bible at the nice Christian bookstore in Holland...

off to Orangeville I went, to meet with her in front of this church, a wonderful place where Christ's truth and His love are being communicated.. the worship, touching and real, meaningful, praises lifted to the God on High.. the message, couldn't have been more fitting.. the Gospel, amazingly well laid out and explained.. emotions welling up in my young friend.. the one the Lord brought to us in January, so helpless and lost.. accepting Christ as her personal Saviour today... tears and celebration in Heaven, a prodigal daughter returned to her Father and reconciled to Him by what His Son, Jesus Christ has done.. hope for healing and restoration.. a plan to prosper and not to harm, a plan to give her a future and a hope..

connections made to wonderful people the Lord put into our path today.. He blows my mind with the way the smallest little detail is perfectly arranged when the time is right..
an excited young girl reading in her Bible.. oh how wonderful to be used by Him to lead a lost one to Him..

later family pictures by the lakefront.. can't wait to see how they turn out.. spending some fun time with another sister in Christ..

exhausted now, but elated, still on a high..  tomorrow: a new day, 7 am work out and "Hope for Life" all day.. hooked for life, that's what it is.. hooked for eternity to praise and worship and serve..

Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

Psalm 29: 1+2
