Friday Favs: "My God"

My God

You make the mountains fall into the midst of the sea,

You make a river of peace flow over me,

You make the deaf hear and the mute speak,

You give joy to the sorrowful and strength to the weak,

You can rise up one man to bring life to a nation,

You love me freely without hesitation,

You heal every wound, touch every scar,

You erase our sin, and send it away so far,

My heart melts at the sound of your name,

I give my life only for your fame,

Joy at its fullest, your presence is the only way,

You always know exactly what to say,

Your greatness, O God, will forever endure,

Please, our heart and soul, to you allure.

Thirst!

Sunday was our last meeting of the Fall semester for Thirst (we will pick back up in January). Each of the groups has learned so much these last 9 weeks, and we are so grateful for Meagan, Jenny, Christy, Nicole, Lindsey, and Jennie for teaching and leading! For our last meeting, we all gathered together to share what the Lord has taught us and encourage one another as we follow Christ. Our memory verse for this week is:

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." Psalm 73:25,26

May this be the testimony of our lives today!

We had a great time and can't wait to get together again in January! Be watching your mailbox and the blog for more info!

Viernes Favoritos (Friday Favs)

It's amazing to think about how many different things in our culture have changed! Can you think of some things that have progressed over the years? Clothing, cell phones, cars, even roller skating...

Redefining Beautiful

A group of high school girls from Colleyville Heritage High School in Colleyville, TX are changing the way we define beauty. Each Tuesday they come to school without any makeup on, and wearing purple shirts that say "Redefining Beautiful; One Girl at a Time." They have been an inspiration to girls and women all across the country.

Click here for a video interviewing the girls on the Today Show.

What are your thoughts about the actions these girls are taking?
