Friends in Town + Proverbs

Another week begins again! Even though we got a little rain, we had a GORGEOUS weekend here in Atlanta... felt like spring already and made me anxious for even warmer weather to be here!

We had friends of ours, Arthur and Erin, stay with us Saturday and Sunday and it was so fun to have them here and catch up. They live in Americus and both keep busy schedules. So it was one of those things we've been trying to make happen for months! We were pretty low-key but enjoyed chatting, eating, watching old Friends episodes and playing board games. I made chili and cornbread and we "watched" the Superbowl. It was great.



Here are a few pics from the weekend...


Game time! Ever played the game Quelf? It was so weird/fun... reminded me of the Friends
episode where Joey teaches them how to play Bamboozled! :) 



Lunch on our balcony after church on Sunday... beautiful weather!! 


We absolutely love having company, so seriously, you should stop by sometime!

We are currently going through a study of Proverbs at our church. It has really been great. I've never really dug into this book of the Bible before and God has been teaching Kip and I so much already. We are reading a chapter each day, correlating to the date of the month, and then coming together on Sunday mornings to learn together as a church family. The wisdom of God is what we need for life. And He wants to give it to us!!  "But if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all and without finding fault, and it will be given to him" James 1:5. Praying this week that in whatever circumstance we find ourselves in, we would seek Him and His ways. Whatever the situation is, He is the answer, and has guidance for us. He promises to come to us and give us everything we need for life and godliness. When we are humble enough to receive His wisdom, we can truly walk in confidence and freedom, knowing that we are making the best decisions possible.
Here is a link to all of the Proverbs sermon series so far. Have a listen if you'd like... they are all fantastic.  http://midtown.gfc.tv/category/sermon/

Have a great week everyone!

    1. What a small world! Their names sound so familiar but I don't think we know them. I'll have to look for them at church though! It's been hard for us to get into a small group because of my work schedule, but hopefully we'll make it happen this semester and get to know some other couples better.
