My Story

I can't believe we are actually going! I have been waiting soooo long for this. Our house is the yellow one. It has the bay on one side and the gulf shore on the other. I'm just ready to go and have some quiet time. To just relax and make things stop for a while.

I always seem to connect with the Lord in a major way when I'm at the beach or in the mountains. Something about His creation just seeps into me. I am looking forward to spending some quiet time seeking Him. I'm taking my journal and my paints and my bible. So pray for me when you think of me, I really want to come back with some answers, peace, and a new strength and determination for the journey ahead!

Of course playing on the beach with the girls will be great too! And spending time with all our friends (we are sharing the house with 3 other families) I can't wait for the nights of game playing and fellowship. The huge relaxed breakfasts and watching the girls (10 children and their all girls!) play in the sand, oh the pictures I'm going to come home with! We are also planning on having our family photo taken while we are there, it's been years since we have had one done.

So I guess I'll be spending most of the day making more lists, doing laundry, packing and preparing! I'm sure I'll be able to make a couple of posts from the beach, they are supposed to have wireless in the house, and there will be no shortage of laptops! :D Talk to you soon!
