love is spilling friends...a give-a-way

Mar 25

Written By Katie Cook

Yesterday showered sunshine raw and genuine and beautiful upon Kevin and I.

for starters i swear it was 85 degrees.

i wore shorts and a tank top. in march. um...hello SPRING!

two sweet friends came over for breakfast, and we talked and shared and laughed and were real.

genuine conversation about a God that heals and mends and binds broken wounds.

{i'm pretty sure happy dancing was involved}

at church our pastor called Kevin and I up front to pray for us while our life group laid hands on us.

It was so powerful to have a church body lean into what God has for us,

and tangibly support our journey.

Honestly, I felt the body of believers BE the church as they surrounded us.

After church our life group grabbed food and took it to the park where we basked in the rays and gobbled down pizza and took goodbye pictures.

Later, Kevin and I rode our beach cruisers over to his parents house. We watched basketball (i'm kind of a die hard March Madness fan!), and then Kev's family and a few friends came over to our house where Kev and I cooked up our last meal at our little abode.

Late into the night we laughed.

The phrase "i'm going to miss you" played on repeat.

but the bottom line was,

when i closed the night,

i literally felt clothed in LOVE.

a radiating agape garment draped heavy over my heart.

and joy and happiness were mine to savor,

i hugged tight not wanting the day to end.

To be known and loved is so powerful. There is absolutely nothing like it.

and so because of this LOVE,

i want to extend even more to you my dearest readers and share a give-a-way for you:)

I am giving away 5 Africa Hope Shirts to you dear readers!!
