friday was our church's youth talent show where cfbc and friends displayed the many gifts God has blessed them with. singing, magic trick-ing, geetar-playing, memory verse-ing... and some mcia friendsies even teamed up with "A Tribe Called to Christ" to put together a little somethin' somethin' for the show. do all things for the glory of God.
"Let them praise his name with dancing,
"Let them praise his name with dancing,and make music to him with tambourine and harp"
[Psalm 149:3]
i pray that we all acknowledge God for even the smallest of blessings he has given to us. he is the one who provides us with these gifts, with the blessings that we do not deserve, things we overlook too often. he blesses us with our loved ones, with minds to understand and hearts to feel, with opportunities, with the senses to experience this world, with the very air we breathe. thank you Lord for everything beyond just the tangible things because the greatest gift you have given to us happened at the Cross. i pray that we are thankful for the blessings, but first mindful and grateful for the blesser.
"he is the source, the sustainer and the end"

not only was friday the talent show, but also julian's 23rd birthday!
we excitedly planned a surprise shindig for the birthday boy,
full of some of his favorite things.
^ even with slight suspicions, he seemed to be pretty surprised!
(thanks to jurr's brother lance for capturing the funsies)
^ family and friends to join the celebration.
^ fun times in the sea of balloons (thanks jigger!)
^ a comic book-esque card, signed by Team CFBC + MCIA
with a cover of some of julian's greatest moments
(thanks helen for the artsy creation)
^ gotta have games! (we're already training her)
^ ice cream cake + root beer floats.
^ and an added bonus... a trip down memory lane with precious baby photos and embarassing high school pics.
all in celebration of this awesome kid-at-heart.
happy birthday buddy.
