Broken hearts, in different ways and for different reasons. You are doing a new thing, Lord. Give me eyes to see your movement, your truth, to see people for how YOU see them, for who they really are.
“Hope will never put us to shame. It will never embarrass us by failing to deliver. Hope can only be found vertically. Only when God us your hope, is your hope secure. Only he can deliver the internal peace that is the hunger of every human. It’s only when grace has hooked you to him that you are connected to what life is really about.” – Paul Tripp
Lord, by you’ve grace please hook me to YOU and your hope.

I will remember this evening, catching the last bit of sun with Basden, restful hour or so just watching the waves
Hud’s 3rd summer on the K2 dock, I think he’d call this home (as always, thankful for CK – and now Caroline too!)
Basden left the beach for the mountains. Father’s day balloon rides over Angel Fire (thank you, M&P!)
Just love him so much. Just so encouraging.
Col 1:23 Continue in the faith, firmly established and steadfast, not moved away from the hope of the gospel
“The righteousness of God, credited to me through Christ, is not merely something I rest in but is also the premier saving reality by which God governs me. Rom 6 – when I obeyed the gospel call I was both declared righteous and became a slave to righteousness at the same time. Quite literally, the righteousness that God credited to me became my master the day I was converted.” – Gospel Primer
That obedience brings freedom.

CCBC Kids Camp – truly frames our kids’ childhoods of attending and serving
Lots of transition – sweet goodbyes as Bailey and Grayson head to Austin
God is unwilling to be your means to what you call the “good life.” Your relationship with him must be your definition of the good life. We set our hearts on things that we think will make us happy and then ask God to be the delivery person. Jesus is the “good life” that you need, no matter what’s on your wish list. – Paul Tripp
Basden was happy to be home a bit, but READY to get back to Kamp with Hud. Lots of responsibility and challenges even with all the fun for these kids

You keep crushing my idols. Even when I try to rebuild, you are breaking them down. Please keep at it.

Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles… 1 Chron 16:11
