Thank you so much for all of your prayers for Chad (and me!). This weekend has been pretty good. I've just tried to stay busy and hope that helps the time go by quickly. I've been able to talk to him a couple of times, which was unexpected but a huge blessing! It made me so happy to hear his voice and hear that they are doing fine. I really can't wait until I can hear him tell me all about their awesome trip!
Today was an INCREDIBLE day at church! It was an amazing sermon and time of worship. I really cannot express how grateful I am for my church and how much I love it. The Holy Spirit is all over that place and God is just moving in mighty ways. I hate that Chad wasn't able to be there today, but I'm gonna try to get the cd for him because I want him to hear that awesome sermon.
After church we went to lunch to celebrate with my dad for Father's Day. My brother was out of town, so it was just my dad and his girls =)
Dad, I am so thankful that the Lord gave you to me. I appreciate the many sacrifices that you've made over the years to give me the very best. Above all, I am thankful for the love you have for Jesus and how you are not ashamed of Him. It blesses my heart to see you seeking the Lord and living your life for Him. I couldn't ask for anything more! Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you very much. We'll always be buddies, pals and tight =)
I just had to post this picture of the girl holding Lewis. He is as big as she is!!
After our yummy lunch at Outback, we rested for a little bit and then hit the pool. She's ready to go!!
Miss Priss is getting more and more comfortable in the water and had so much fun. I had the best time just watching her have fun. I love that little mug to pieces!!
"Jumping" to MiMi...although it was more really more like grabbing her hands and pulling her in. Once she got in she would ask "did I jump?" Umm, that would be a no, but you did try!
Hope each of you had a wonderful weekend and I pray that the week ahead is full of blessings for you!
That Emma is just too cute!! So glad you had a great weekend!!
