“As the deer pants for the waters, so my soul longs after You, O God, My soul thirsts for the living God…. Deep calls unto deep at the sound of your waterfalls, your waves and billows have gone over me. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me – a prayer to the God of my life” – Psalm 42
I love this Psalm, it has been speaking my heart all week. I am so thirsty for God’s living presence in my life. He is calling me to be still to know the lovingkindness He pours out in the day, and the song in the evening He sings over us I am yet to really hear. He wants us to long after Him and chase after Him and I sometimes get so lazy with it. I forget that God wants to be pursued and that I can go as deep as I want to in my relationship with the Lord if I only wait on Him and follow Him into the depths of the waters.
Ladies I really want to meet with you this week, I miss you all so much. Sarah Atkinson doesn’t have a computer so we need to make sure we call her when we do things, so I shall call and make sure its ok to have group at her house this week and post more details later.
When are we doing big group again? It was like old times, so very refreshing and I left feeling so full (in heart and belly!) Words cannot say how special these times are and how much I love you.
-S-
PS – this deer was a friendly wee one that we got to feed at lazy five ranch – if you haven’t been, please tell me because we want to take you! Its so much fun, especially with the wee ones. There’s giraffes and everything.
If anyone is reading this, we will have ladies group tomorrow but I don’t know where yet as I can’t get hold of Sarah. If for any reason it isn’t possible to do at her house we can have it at mine or if anyone else is more central and would be happy to have us there too.
hey ya!!! I talked to sarah on sunday and she said yes it will be at her house – so lets just meet at the atkinsons like always i think;) unless we can get in touch and find out otherwise – she didnt say they had any issues with it…
mystery over. sarah atkinson’s house tomorrow night at 8, girls. Let’s plan on going through the Bible Study together that’s on Jonathan’s blog for the week and feeding on that.
And the next big meal time is june 14th at the verrone’s.
if you all want to help plan again, that would be great! i can’t tell you how amazing it was to have that off of my shoulders. it was too good, so good.
continue to pray for leah’s dad. matthew cantrell called today. leah’s dad had to go to the hospital sunday and is possibly going for a lung transplant at Duke (I think that’s correct) if he gains enough strength. Hold leah in your hearts.
maddie graduates from elementary school thursday night! saturday at 3 the girls have their ballet recital. it’s their first ever. if you’d like to squeeze that event in, they would think it was christmas-like to have people watching their hard work!
my mom is home at last! she’s working hard to regain a normal lifestyle. how beautiful to see her home!
love you all.

Please hold Leah and her family in your prayers, they put her father on life support last night.
Poo. . . we will miss the next gathering as well due to a wedding. well, hopefully we can make the next one! summer is always tricky.
we will be praying for leah and family! thanks for the update sarah.
Friends – Leah’s dad passed away this morning at 10:30. Please hold her up in prayer. The family needs meals. Please, if you feel led, bless them with what the Lord places on your heart.
The service for Leah’s dad is going to be on Sunday at 4:00. Ladies – I sent an e-mail about meals. Take a look, there.
Hey everyone. Apparently there is some confusion about whether or not we are taking phone calls. Please call or come by. We want people around us right now.
Much much love to the Cantrells.
Our hearts are with you.
you are such dear friends.
