We've been very sad and somber, his death has rocked our community, especially our youth group. Forest was highly active in our church and youth group and was planning on going on the Thailand mission trip (which they flew out today). He was nothing but a joy to be with, always smiling and positive as well as a talented artist and skateboarder.
It's robbery that Forest passed at such a young age but we have hope in our grief. God has brought a lot of good out of this horrible situation. Time is healing everyone's wounds. Our prayers go out to the Andrew's family, we love you guys!!
Please check out this amazing song "You make beautiful things" by the band Gungor. They played it at Forest's celebration of life last Saturday.
I've linked up with Gussy Sews and have decided to participate in her inspirational workshop every Thursday. It's a community of creative bloggers that blog every Thursday about their inspiration in a topic that Gussy chooses. I thought it would be a fun exercise and opportunity to connect with other creative bloggers. It will also help to encourage me to blog because right now, my life is a bit crazy and unfortunately I have no time to sew.
This week's prompt is kitchens. Because of summer and the abunance of fruit in my town, I decided to blog about smoothies, YUMMY! Growing up, my family would make smoothies as afternoon snack on hot summer days. I loved them! Below I've listed a few of my favorites that I found and are going to try this summer. A mix of healthy and fun, all the while being unique.
