"I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you,praying always with joy in my every prayer for all of you,because of your partnership for the gospel from the first day until now. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right that I should think this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, you who are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer: that your love may increase ever more and more in knowledge and every kind of perception, to discern what is of value, so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God." -Philippians 1:3-ll
As I was reading my TEC bible in Jerusalem on Good Friday I saw this verse highlighted and it summarized my sentiment perfectly. All of you back home were on my mind and in my prayers during Holy Week. I promise that sometime this week I will get a detailed blog entry up about our trip through Turkey and the Holy Land. God Bless and may you be filled with joy in the risen Christ this Easter season!

I love this Bible verse and it does fit perfectly here.
