Happy Birthday Mary W!!!!!!!!!!

I love you so much, my sweet friend... you have impacted my life more than you know. You have brightened so many of my days, spoken truth into my life, and encouraged me in a million ways. I truly know and love God more because I know you.



You are beautiful and you are going to be SUCH an incredible mother... I am so excited for you and Wolf, and Rex is such a lucky baby :-)


I am just really excited to meet this child...


These are flowers that Mary dropped by my house on her way to work one day this summer (she was sick, I might add). For no reason. Just one of the trillion and five examples of how she is always thinking of others and making their lives more joyful.


Happy 25th Birthday!!!!!!!!!! I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Human Needs Global Resources Covenant, 2009

As fellow travelers on this journey, we commit to this covenant before God. Lord, in Your mercy, hear these our prayers:

When confronted with scarcity, need, and inadequacy, may we be nourished by the Bread of Life and the Cup of Salvation. Abundance overflows from Your table, sustaining all who come in faith. Father, help us.

When monotony blurs our vision and dulls our senses, may we encounter others as Christ did, through intentional presence in daily life, submitting as clay to be formed into vessels filled with the Spirit. Christ, guide us.

When wounded by the fractured condition of Your people, may we be united by Your Lordship in faith, hope, and love; seeing, as through the facets of a diamond, the beautiful spectrum of Your light reflected onto Your holy Church joined in praise. Spirit, empower us.

When all Creation groans, afflicted by injustice and driven to despair, may the promise of redemption root us in the hope of Your Kingdom: "Behold, I am making all things new!"

Holy Trinity, send us now into the world in peace, and grant us strength and courage to love and serve You with gladness and singleness of heart.

Amen.
