We have been very busy this month and that is why I have not been posting or getting on blogger at all. Then I got on and realized just how much I didn't like the way I had set up my blog before we left. (sorry) So I changed it. Anyway, we went to Alabama for the 4th of July. That was a blast! We watched fireworks off a bluff,spent a whole day swimming, visited Unclaimed Baggage, and thoroughly enjoyed our first vacation as a family! Then we were home catching up on all the work we left behind when we learned that we have to go back to Missouri for family business. This is after we had spent a month and a half ( March and April) in MO. when my Grandma was sick.
Well, since my mom will not fly and felt guilty for leaving 2 out 3 of her children in NC, she decided that we are going to rent a car to go to MO,then get the other car, camp at a river, and spend a little time with family, then come home. The challenge is to do this as inexpensively as possible and leave for MO next Monday. All the while my Dad still has to work, we are still trying to continue to serve God in our church just like we have been, do our school work, tend the garden and all the regular things around the house. It's a little overwhelming but God gives grace!
The other day we were listening to a preacher on cd, Bro. Mike Qualls, and in his message he said that he thinks when we get to heaven, we're gonna' look back over our life and, even though our life is but a vapor, We'll stand in amazement and say "WOW, what a ride!" That will definitely be true for me. My life has barely began yet, the countless experiences, both bad and good, have made it that much more memorable. Thank God for grace!
