where has the time gone??

Ok, so I'm trying to catch up on a few things and I have just now gotten back to my poor neglected blog. Things have been crazy the past month...

1. Had a GREAT week with my awesome sister in law Sarah and my neice and nephew
2. My dear Aunt Laura passed away VERY unexpectedly
3. Made a trip to Oklahoma for her funeral with our girls
4. Got VERY sick with a kidney stone while there
5. Tommy had to catch a flight out there so he could drive us home
6. Got home at 430am on a Sunday morning after driving all night
7. Had to spend the day unpacking, washing and repacking clothes for church camp...had to be there at 730am Monday morning
8. By this point, I'm beyond exhausted...
9. God knew what would blow some wind in my sails...I had 10 girls in my group at camp. 4 of them made a decision for Christ the FIRST NIGHT!!
10. Survived camp (it was pretty fun actually) and now back on track with work and finishing out summer
11. My husband had to leave to go out of town AGAIN...this makes the 6th week he has been gone since the first of June...Lord help me!! :)

So, that is what we have been up to since my last posting.

I really have a lot to say about each point, but it would probably take a day for you to read it! God is so good...there is a praise in each point too. I really try to look at difficulties in a positive light. One thing about working at our church is that I am constantly humbled when I read the daily prayer requests that come in. Life could be so much harder. I am so thankful to have the precious people in this home. I wouldn't be the same without them!

I LOVE YOU TOMMY, ALEX AND FAITH!!!!!!!!!!
