Austin isn’t here anymore to imitate Jesus Christ,
​but we are. This is our moment.

Summer at the Lake 2018

As summer winds down, we’re so thankful to spend some time at the lake with friends....yes, they were Austin's friends first, but really all our friends. Would Austin have had a big party at the end of the summer?.....I'm not sure, but I know he would have had enjoyed being with everyone as all were getting ready for the next thing.

We're thankful for these friends, their families, and all the others not pictured here. We're thankful for the sustaining hand of the Lord and how He uses His people to comfort. We look forward to seeing the paths God takes these young adults down.

​Leave a comment and share what you've learned this last year or a a word of encouragement. You'll know where to find us next summer! Praying always!

This weekend August 4, 2018 was a very special date. Many of Austin childhood friends and more recent friends got the chance to rejoice the goodness of God. Knowing that the Lord is taking care of our dear brother in Christ is something I am thankful for. This weekend was nothing but a sweet memory for all of us, the Silva’s are amazing and continue love on his friends till this day.

Lastly, as we go off to college, I would like to encourage others and myself that God is good in all circumstances.

Thank y'all so much for an amazing weekend. It was so encouraging to see the way y'all continually put others needs ahead of your own. God is so good and although it's not always smooth sailing, trusting in His word will always lead us down the right path. I am so thankful for the Silva family and their faithfulness. It is truly such an encouragement to see y'all love and serve those around you regardless of the circumstances. Friends and community are a great reminder that God is GOOD. Psalms 16:8-11, Micah 6:8

Thank you so much Silva family for such a fun and memorable weekend. I think this weekend was a great testament to Austin as it really showcased how many different lives he touched in so many different ways. I can’t thank you guys enough for opening up your home and heart to us. I know that these days continue to be so difficult for y’all but the way you guys have ministered to and invested in our lives in the middle of your own great grief is beyond me. All five Silva’s have left an undeniable mark on my life and I continue to be spurred on by the way you all faithfully follow and serve the Lord. I know that as we all get ready to go our different ways Austin’s spirit will be carried on through all of us. I truly do believe that Austin’s life and legacy will not only be an inspiration for students at Lake Highlands High School, but an inspiration for college students across the country. I loved getting to hang out with everyone this weekend and celebrate the freedom and hope that the Lord adds to our life! My wish for us all is that we will continue to pursue Christ above all else knowing that life is found solely in him. One of my favorite verses has encouraged me through this difficult year and I hope it will encourage you all as well: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation, but take heart for I have overcome the world” John 16:33
I am so thankful for the Silva’s and the way they have loved and encouraged us all and I hope that they know that I am truly Team Silva for life! May Austin’s generous heart, playful spirit and Big faith in God live on through all of us!
