this weekend i had the privelege of attending my cousin Justin's wedding. I had such a precious time and loved being able to take pictures.. Just take a look at how absolutely beautiful their wedding was..
For a few months we've had these boys come to our church. Three cousins. that all live together. They're a handful but oh so much fun. Recently i've had the oppurtunity to become really close with one of them. He's lived a rough life and he is on the path to success. Yesterday as we were driving one of the cousins heard me beep at a dumb driver and said to me "Austyn, your a christian. you can't do that" It got me thinking. If the simplest things like beeping show my love for Christ or lack there of than WHAT on earth kind of example do i really set. Scary. Here these boys are, coming from inner cities and living the life that i could never imagine. They don't know God's love, they don't know how to live in his light. To serve him and love him. I've stepped into that at a glimpse. I could never. I would never survive. Here i am complaining that i don't have $50 to fill my gas tank. But i have a beautiful house, lots of ...
Fragile things are proven to be unbroken. Moving boxes are stacked to the roof. Cabinets are being emptied. School supplies are being organized. Schedules are being clarified. boxes unpacked. Hope is being given. goodwill finds are being found. good books are being read. and closets are being organized. What a life! -Austyn :)
All my brothers, sister and me. A week after leaving my sweet family, they came to visit. Guess they missed me ;) Their 24 hours here flew by but it was such a refresher and so nice after my first week back. And it makes the month before I see them again, not seem so crazy long. My siblings and dad had never been to the campus, so we enjoyed touring around and even getting some fun filled hours at the Snowflex. The boys LOVED it. And I just loved them being here to do it with me for once. :) It was the perfect family weekend. Now back to those books.. Have a great week y'all! -Austyn
