truths

I have just been thinking a lot today and the past few days about God's goodness. No matter what, He loves us. He loves us all the same, without question. It's not like I haven't heard this before, but really thinking on this concept just blows my mind. The Creator of all things desires a relationship with me. He has sought me out to save me from a life of toil and despair! What a Savior!

Amazing Love!
How can it be,
That you my King
would die for me?
Amazing Love!
I know it's true.
It's my joy to Honor You,
in all I do, I Honor You.

It is my hope and desire that you know Him in a personal and real way, and that you experience His amazing Love.

fun times with fam!

Well this weekend was so great. My Aunt and Uncle came over from Prague to visit and I got to show them around here. We visited some of the major tourist sites and had a bunch of fun together. I really love having visitors, because it reminds me how awesome this place is.

So here are some pics of our fun times together...



Aunt Vicki and I in the great park by my house.



Uncle Darrell and I enjoying TGI Friday's...it was so yummy!

I introduced them to the awesome pasties, and Auntie V shares my love for the chocolate heart yummy things! We got to go see some new places that I didn't even know existed here! We went to an amazing cathedral that dates back to the time of St. Francis of Assisi. There was a wedding going on when we went in there. I wish I had pictures of that because it was pretty amazing, but no photos allowed! It was kind of a culture shock to them getting used to our late night lifestyle here, but they adapted very well!

Anyways, it was such a good visit. They really spoiled me and I am definitely already missing them! What a good weekend!

yep...

Okay, so as promised, here are some pics of my trip to Portugal.

The beach had these really cool rock formation things all around that we climbed on a bit.
