We danced in the driveway tonight.
Amanda (we call her Favis now) finally got to little Monmouth. She's here to stay for a while. I'm so glad. We sat out on the porch in the dimming light and started to worship. We just enjoyed the sound of each others voices, half in awe that we were together again and half enjoying just hearing the sound of our voices together, (like any good musician would love.)
Soon the other girls came out, and we sang and danced in the driveway until the sun went down. We sang about the River of God, the way that Jesus was the most beautiful fountain we had ever seen and how we would dance in that fountain until the end of our days. Favis and I finished the song we had been writing.
And what can I say? Life is good. We have seen growth in the past three months like never before, growth in ourselves and growth in those around us. These girls have drawn me closer into family and into the heart of the Father and the freedom that is found there. They are so dear to me...
I'm back up in Portland now, getting ready to hit the books again, and my heart is already aching for them.
Soon. This is only the beginning.
