It is absolutely indescribable to convey to you the blessing that his body of brothers and sisters have been to me. They encourage me, uplift me, minister to me, offer me opportunities to serve. This church is a place of safety and love. The love of the Lord is abundant in the people in the speaking of the word, the prayers and the fellowship. Who could ask for a better family of believers?! Call them and/or visit, you will be blessed I promise! Ask for Pastor Nathan.

Silver Jeans


“Pioneer” bootcut jean; made in supreme soft hand stretch denim with high concentration pure liquid indigo; authentic destroyed wash with vintage ware pattern; features flap back pockets and vintage ware pattern detailing; red label fit with low rise (7 ½”) and slim through hip and thigh with 19” bottom opening.
I have never had a pair of jeans fit so amazingly! I know it totally seems silly after writing about Trinity to include my jeans. But if you ever had the experience of searching high and low and coming up frustrated with every pair you try on, you will know the immense feeling of relief after you find that perfect pair. They fit me perfectly! They aren't to tight or to loose even straight out of the dryer and after several days of wear they don't lose their size or shape. That is truly rare! LOVE THEM!


Saloman Women's Tech-amphibian Shoes


Ok Jackie, I know you hate these shoes and think they are ugly. But they are so wonderful to me. Yes they do always look dirty but don't judge it by it's color. It really deserves better. :D They fit in a way that makes my foot sing with joy whenever i think about wearing them. They are perfect for stream crossing since they let all of the water out so fast! they protect my feet from rocks. They stay on my feet when the river wants to take me under. (It has a heel strap to tighten it, since women have narrower heels). So well made! easy to lace up. Great arch support. Perfect for lounging around the camp or putting on in the middle of the night since the heel folds down so naturally and springs right back up when you want it. I could go on... and on... and on...

Old Navy Chenille Lined Zip Hoodie


You are so warm... so soft... so versatile... so bright and beautiful... My hoodie I do love thee.

Nutella
What more can I say... I would defintitaly take it over chocolate any day...

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte


This is such a blessing to me. It is warmth to my body and my heart AND when you're sitting at Starbucks you can ask it for there. They will give it to you in a mug, no extra charge! Of course you can't take the mug home but it truly makes the experience. As I wrap my hands around it I can really honestly feel the warmth seeping into my spirit. (Thanks Drew for the tip!)

Martin Dreadnaught Guitar


Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. ~ Psalm 100.


La Sportiva Mythos Rock Shoes
5.10 Gambit Stealth Rock Shoes
Wow. Most people are really lucky if they find one pair of climbing shoes that fit them well, I found two and they fit like the tight glove they are supposed to! ok so they may be two sizes smaller then what most of the world would deem natural and healthy but I can stick to anything with these and not just because of the sticky rubber (although they are superbly yummy). I think of these as God's personal gifts to me. I know it may sound silly to all of you non-climbing folk. But these allow me to escape the stresses/worries/concerns of life. I get toescape gravity for a moment in time. Stretch my limbs, work those muscles out and be immediately transported into a place of awe at God's magnificent complex and intricate creation... the rocks. I think even God has a special relationship with the rocks of this world. He chose them out of all of his creation. He said that even if people were to stop praising him the rocks would cry out. What an honor. I'm humbled when I'm up on those mighty formations and not just because they can be huge and seem completely immovable, but because of their future calling.
