God's concert at City Dock in Annapolis, MD
during the show
*note the blue sky! And it only got blue-er!* =)
after the concert:
us with the Stoners!

and our Uncle and Aunt and cousins! :D

I know this is a random shot, but the picture-taking for this wedding
took place at the dock we were performing on and I thought it so beautiful that I wanted to get a picture. :)

and just look: an Island-made boat in the midst of the
craft in the harbour! :)
*the center one*
Seth and I eating gelato!! It's our first time trying
it - ultra yum! haha :)

in which we visit the Naval Academy with
our cousin Michael
the stalwart captain on land

man, you should just see this thing in action -
Woo-ie!


the guys peering over the wall to the gardens below

not quite clear, but an idea of the view :)


but a glimpse into one of many hidden gardens in this city...it seemed
as if every home had one but you could never quite see into them

the great old capital building which has seen so
much of the great history of our nation, especially
those noble, humble, and self-sacrificing
deeds of General/President George Washington



and finally the most beautiful sight/point of interest in my
personal opinion, in the great city of Annapolis.
All those touristing there ought to stop at this
particular sight. :)
at the 2nd Baptist Church in Palmer, MA


Oh how special it was to us, after being gone for several
weeks in the South, to come back and have so many friends gather!
It was like a big family night...thank you all so much!
I leave you with this shot that we left
off with- our dear friends gathered around, the same
ones we get to spend eternity with. :)

God knows you - Oh God knows you!
Oh, oh... He fills this earth and there's not one corner in one building or one nook in one cave that He doesn't know about. Think about these verses! :
" Am I a God Who is near," declares the Lord, "And not a God far off?
Can a man hide himself in hiding places, so I do not see him?" declares the Lord.
"Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?"
declares the LORD (!)
Our GOD fills all of the heavens and the earth - just thinking about it gives me the mental picture and feeling of His Spirit filling our streets - between and throughout buildings and all over the country sides and - oh - like He is in the air we breath! Ah its like, that's why He knows our beings so well -because He is in the air circulating through our bodies! It might be faulty reasoning, but it sure is wonderful to think about!
He knows us. He is in our room...and in our car...and in our conversations... and in our inward mental battles. And gosh, we ought to watch what we say and quickly ask Him to forgive us for wrong thoughts because He knows them!
But... He also knows how we struggle. And that, my friend, is why His Holy Spirit was sent as a Helper to us (see John 14:16-17 & 26) and indeed fills this place. To help us! He will help us... our Father will complete the work He has begun in us and purify us if we ask Him to. Eventually. And I hold on to that promise will all of my heart.
" And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever."
"...you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you."
~ John 14:16-17 ~
Thank You Lord!
In Christ's Love,
Miriam

a triumphant air
