Bright Lights...and we're all missing Leah, but Jesus shows up and stirs up spontaneous worship and beautiful, little Love Rain sits beside me and helps me lead and it is so beautiful!

Walking the drive-through trail at Camp Bethel with Leah, enjoying the Christmas lights, the "floating trees" and posing for pictures in the gazebo and dining hall porch...coversations of beauty, freedom and a few almost-tears on frozen faces. 815. Leah modeling all of her cute new outfits at Rue 21 :) 816. Me...in a shopping cart with Leah pushing it...captured in a picture in Wal-Mart!! A day to be more childlike indeed ;) 817. Following Leah on a "treasure hunt" in Norton Wal-Mart where a stranger lady was blessed by the love of Jesus Leah shared. Wow...God! :) 818. Building a fire in our sweet, little cabin! Just us girls! And the cabin did not burn down! ;) And actually, I had nothing to do with it. Leah is the hero here :) 819. My precious local friends who worked so hard to help make the visit and retreat a beautiful victory! :) 820. A retreat night filled with beautiful girls and my dear sister from across the miles...snacks and lights, barefeet and paint, skits and giggles, Jesus worship and words of power, pizza & spaghetti dinner, girls playing keyboards, the smell of rose oil, tissues, a floor made into altar, tears of pain merged into tears of freedom...the Body and the Blood...the basin and sweet feet washed by Jesus love...and some who said "no" had hearts washed still yet...and Jesus speaking straight to hearts...Truth...Identity...Healing...Beauty, bedrooms filled with yet more prayers of freedom, and prayer languages established, and everyone leaving forever changed...and more paintings filled with much more LIFE this time, and church van rocking from VICTORY bound girls jumping in...girls who will LAUGH in the faec of fear from this day forward! And the van drives away and we walk the lights...and their faces beam with light and our hearts burst with love...and we savor the moment and give thanks for tomorrow morning when we'll all be together one last time before the long ride to the airport...and it's true- the next morning, their faces shown even brighter! And two hop into the vehicle as little , darling stow-aways, and then lunch and the ride and the head cushion coming off the seat and they play with hair and ooooohhhh the beauty!! 814.

A moment...worthy of capturing inside a snow globe to keep forever. Standing on the wood floors of a light wrapped cabin in the mountains holding a warm cup of apple cider comfort in my hands, Kaylee strumming Leah's guitar, Leah and Meggie eating leftover Thanksgiving turkey while lights twinkle through the windows....oh the BEAUTY of a God who drowns us in PRECIOUS MOMENTS! 812.

The exhilerating kiss of an autumn morning as I run out coatless to defrost the windshield :) 809. The kind of laughter that makes your cheeks tight and your belly ache...the good medicine. :) 810. Seeing the glory of God rest on the faces of little ones I love as He touches, heals and fills His lambs. 808.

Sitting in the floor of an "upper room", surrounded by sweet girls that I love, listening to testimonies about their big God, sprinkled with hair fixing, rock-paper-scissors and confetti cookie sandwiches ;) 805. My cute little Momma enjoying the peace of Jesus in a very real way. :) 806. Getting to pass under the chuppah (wedding canopy) with Jesus, my First Love. 807. Glare of street lights on glassy wet streets with rain pitter-patting on windshield as I wait in a driveway. Wait, wait, waiting... it's in patience that we possess our souls. 804.

It's October somehow, already. How I miss summer so much already! How God's sweetness kisses me with little moments making it feel not so lost. Oh the pricelessness of Your every day graces, Lord! 803. 4:50 pm sunlight kissing my face as I run in crunchy, fallen leaves after picking a bucket of peppers from an otherwise desolate garden.
