china. china. china.

this is the only thing that's on my mind. i mean with 2 larson boys over there- something in american, you can tell is different. while they are over in china with e.l.i.c. teaching english and spreading the gospel, their friends and family are constantly praying and lifting them up. i hope that one day when we get to heaven, the Lord takes us through a fast fwd slideshow of all the prayers people prayed over me, over them, and over everyone. i mean, how cool would that be, to see the anonymous prayers from unknown people as well as the outpouring of prayers from those closest to us? we'd be overwhelmed, wouldn't we? in a good way. in a great way.
its amazing, how even with someone you care about so far away, you feel closer to them just by spending time with their family. = ) this weekend i had the privilege of going up to fayetteville, arkansas to spend time with hallie (blake's sister), her ridiculously cool hubby- seth, and mr. and mrs. larson. oh, i could hang out with them forever. it was a complete joy- to say the least. i am the luckiest girlfriend, that my man's family would wanna spend time with me without their own son around. spending the weekend with them was just what i needed to get over the countdown 'hump' until blake's arrival back in jackson. we're down to 13 days. i can hardly believe how fast and slow time has inconsistently gone. i have been so grateful for what the Lord has been and still is doing; however, i am so ready for blake to come home.

i'll leave you with a few pictures from blake and barrett. as well as one of my time in fayetteville this past weekend. the lord is so great. i am so completely thankful and humbled by His the subtle blessings and gifts he gives us just through the presence of those around us.
