SATURDAY: Gabriel's first soccer practice of the season
SUNDAY: We had a very special church service. I blogged a couple months ago about how my MIL & FIL's house church got too large for their living room so we started one in our living room. Last Sunday we had a big gathering of both house churches out at Aruni and Mike's house. It was amazing! I wish I had the words to describe it but there are few people who can describe, even remotely, what its like being in a group (ie. church) and feeling the spirit move through you. I was moved to tears throughout the entire service.
But especially when my SIL gave her testimony. She and her family travelled down here to give a presentation on their impending 5 year mission trip to Peru. Her testimony was one of the most transparent ones I have been priveleged to hear - full of that complicated beauty that tethers us to God through tragedy, sorrow, surrender, healing and humility. Thanks for sharing, Steph.

Maddox doing things he's not supposed to. "They" kept motioning to me to stop him, but I just kept taking pictures of him.
Aruni gave a demonstration about making God our focus

Mike and Aruni's dog, Bootsy. She let the kids put her in a doll stroller and then she just stayed there!

I wasn't expecting the "dog in a stroller" picture at the end, ha! The pictures were all great, there's something about little kids playing soccer that is so darn cute. Your MIL does look rockin, btw!
