Summer

Summer is here! Since coming home from vacation we have had VBS, spent a week going to the pool everyday, and trying to get the house in some kind of order. HA! This week we went to the pool a couple of times on the days I didn't work. I am seeing some attitudes in my kids that I am not please with and am working on them. Oh the hateful talk and spirits are just about to drive me crazy! Just in God's timing, I am going to the "Deeper Still" conference tomorrow. Kay Arthur, Beth Moore, Priscilla Shriver and MANDISA will all be there. I need this so badly! I wanted to go from the beginning since I have not been able to do something like this for YEARS! Then when I found out that the few ladies I really know at church weren't going to be able to go, I wanted to change my mind. Even had decided to. Then I was asked to drive the "Big Red Van" since there were not enough going to rationalize taking a bus. I was hesitant for a couple of reasons. John will not have a car big enough to take all of the kids in for over 24 hours and will be by himself most of the time. And I hate to drive long distances :~( But I felt this was God's way to make sure I went. Then I worried about who I would be rooming with since I did not even know who was going. Just yesterday I found out that I am rooming with the sweetest lady whom I have wanted to spend time with for so long. We have a lot in common and always enjoy talking to each other. God is just so good. So, even though I do hate leaving the kids, I know I need this and I know that God is in this and He has something for me to learn this weekend! What a blessing that is!
