tyler barry

one of my best friends moved to illinois sunday. you may know him and his amazing family. they all love God so much and it shows!! they were extremely dedicated to HPC...and now God has lead them to the north! boilermakers???? :)

tyler is amazing! everyone thinks he's like four years older than he is...and it's mainly because he is so sold out and abandoned to what God has for Him. and he isn't afraid to dream big!!! (ahem...africa...plus a lot more)

seriously, they are a truly amazing and hilarious family.

and we all know that they are going to rock illinois' faces off!!!


WHAT!


oh..sunday was the worst! read >tyler's blog< to hear about all the nasal dripage. lol.

it was so funny because we prayed over him and said goodbye...and then i got to go outside (puffy-eyed and red cheeked) and smile and greet people coming to the service.
a lot of people stared and gave me funny looks. one lady even thought i was dehydrating or something and offered to bring me some water.

so if i greeted you sunday...sorry i wasn't perky. lol.

anyway...

we all miss tyler barry, mrs. jennifer, and >madison< like crazy!!
but God knows His plan and He hasn't failed to comfort us.

my word for this year (since elevate started...to now...and so on) is "STRETCH"!!!

that's what God does to us to make us grow.
