Goodbye 112 Oak Pointe

It's official...we sold our house. As of September 19th, this house belongs to someone else. Thank you Lord for 5 wonderful years. You abundantly blessed us and we leave with such sweet memories. May your spirit continue to be present and welcome.

A small distraction...but one BIG God!

Okay, anyone who knows me...knows that I have a real soft spot when it comes to animals. So, when I found this little bitty kitty that fit in the palm of my hand, I knew I was in trouble. As I held this helpless little kitten, I lifted up a plea to the Lord and said "Lord, you know how you've made me, you know I can't ignore this kitten. However, you also know that I have a huge mountain of other responsibilities to handle...packing, moving, homeschooling. So, Lord, please bring an answer quickly." A few hours later...He did just that. I had gone to PetSmart to purchase formula for the kitten and the cashier was part of an animal rescue organization. She agreed to take it and care for it. Amazing how God cares about every detail of our lives...what an awesome God we serve!

Fun Run



Brian and Brandon ran their first competitive race on Labor Day. Dad (Brian) ran the US 10K classic and the boys ran the kid's 1K race. They all did great! Brian said it was definitely the toughest 10K race he's run....five very steep hills. The boys woke up the next morning and felt what "sore muscles" were for the first time. May this be the first of many races they experience together.

21 years later....

And he still makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world!

Pananma City


What fun in the sun we had this summer on our family vacation at Panama City. Our kids are such beach bums, just like their mom & dad. Which makes for lots of relaxing days enjoying the sand and sun. I even read an entire book. Which is a huge accomplishment for me. As our children get older, there is not much that we enjoy more than spending an entire week together without all the everyday distractions! Looking forward to next year already!

The Beauty of the Beach

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display
knowledge.
There is no such speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens, he has pitched a tent for
the sun,
which is like a bridegroom coming
forth from his pavillion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his
course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
~Psalm 19


Ocean Friend or Foe?





Several mornings while out on the beach, we were visited by this "small" sand shark. It didn't seem to even notice us. It was much more interested in feeding off the small fish in the shallow waters. However, it was a bit too close for comfort.
