Our First Thanksgiving

It was certainly a strange Thanksgiving, just the two of us in a apartment. We broke with tradition again and got a duck! :) We had a wonderful time together and joined with some friends in the evening.

It got us thinking about just how great this holiday is, history aside how wonderful it is to just sit with people you love and be thankful. Can't every day be Thanksgiving I thought? Can't every nation celebrate this? We have so much to be thankful for. A good friend of ours always says the devil cannot touch a thankful heart and how true this is. There is something about being  thankful that opens our eyes to see outside ourselves and to the goodness in our world and the  glory of God our creator. If John and I sat and listed all the things we are thankful for it would take a good while! John's very life is a miracle this year! I believe if we, as believers, started each day with thanksgiving we would drastically improve not only our internal selfs but also the world around us! "Enter his gates with thanksgiving" the psalms command us! We need to be thankful. It just works.

We at YWAM Boston now enter a busy season until our Christmas break. This week we have an outreach team from New Haven, Connecticut who we will be training in Evangelism and taking out onto the streets of Boston and on Thursday we will host a worship night for all the people we meet! 

Also on an exciting note we have our first date of our North East Tour of our full stage production 'Encounter'- Our first show is in Raymond, NH on January 22nd 2010! We have an open dress rehearsal at Cambridge Dance Complex on January 15th 2010. 
John and I have a real passion to reach the lost through theater and this is especially exciting for us; we have been dreaming with God about this for so long. This kind of ministry is when we feel most alive- please pray for our preparations, much needs finishing before we take this  show on the road!

We love you all, thanks for reading , more news soon...
