A few highlights of this summer, so far

1. Running through the Washington D.C. mall with my brother, gazing up at the amazing monuments. My favorite would have to be the WWII memorial- it's truly a masterpiece.

2. Spending several days in Paris.

3. Visiting Hillsong Church in Paris. The service was joyful and inspiring. It did my heart good to see the French praising Jesus. Everything was translated from French to English, and they sang some songs in french, some in english. Many were from the new Hillsong album God is Able, so when I finally got my hands on the cd, I recognized the songs from the church. I must say, some sound better in French :)

After the service, we got to hang out with some young people from the church. We picked up some lunch from Subway and took it to a park (next to Victor Hugo's house) and enjoyed the fellowship of students from South America, Germany, and Switzerland who all spoke French as a second language. It was an amazing time and a perfect reminder that the body of Christ is an international entity, a worldwide reality.

4. I got to spend 3.5 days with wonderful friends in the lovely town of Annecy.

5. I got to play piano for a tiny church's worship service in a tiny town called Brignoud.

yeah thats all for now. but seriously, God is blessing me :)
