Answered Prayer

The Lord never ceases to amaze me.  He truly does give us the desires of our hearts. This has been a rough year spiritually speaking for my family, and after much committed prayer, I have seen an answer.  I want my children to live for the Lord.  To be wholly committed to Him but, it's hard in this day and age and so much is against them.  But greater is He that is in them than he that is in the world.  The Peru missions trip has done what I prayed it would do and that is that it would renew a right spirit in Brooke.  That she would see God's mercy and goodness toward us and she would trust Him to take care of us.  Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been an overnight thing, but I've seen Brooke do things and be interested in things she just hasn't been interested in a long time.

 Just today she was able to spend time with some godly friends who will help her with her walk with the Lord.  To strengthen her and encourage her daily.  One of these young people lead another young person to the Lord just after playing basketball and Brooke, thankfully, had her camera and was able to catch this intimate, wonderful moment.  It moves me to tears to see God move in such beautiful ways.  Please pray as she continues to pursue God and seek His will and that the enemy (satan, this world, and our flesh) would not have preeminence but Jesus would have full rein in her life.....and mine!


 Blessings!

Best Vacation Ever

 We had the vacation of a lifetime, for us anyway. Usually we're able to go cabin camping or day trips somewhere but this year we stayed at Camelback Resort. It's a ski resort with an indoor waterpark. It was so awesome! It was the best vacation we've ever had. There was something to do for everyone. There was also an indoor mini golf.     And indoor rock climbing and rope courses. The kids had a blast! I was so happy Brooke was able to come with us. It may be her last vacation with us before becoming Mrs Shuff:)   The kids enjoying the massive arcade. This was the view from our bedroom!   Of course Noah bought his game console.  Here's daddy and daughter getting ready to shred on the slopes!! When we came back from vacation that night was our church's teen takeover night. Lily sang with a group and Noah preached and did a phenomenal job!!

Where Did July Go?

My intention was to write again the end on July but somehow I missed it because here it is August. Oh well. The rest of July was going pretty good. Brooke came home for another visit to race in Spartan upstate and we got to visit my SIL which was really nice. It's so peaceful up there. I loved it! Then I got to go to the beach with the kids and some friends which was great because the kids haven't been to the beach in years...such a blessing. We're going again Tuesday:)   Also I've been babysitting my nephew Christian which has been so much fun. That kid is full of energy!   And then this little (not so little) disaster happened...   TERMITES!!!! What began as a remodeling project turned into a nightmare. I just wanted to turn Brooke's old room into a guest/game room. When we opened up the walls is was a nightmare come true.  And those little suckers were gnawing away at my poor house for years apparently. It's going to take up to si...

Fear Is a Liar

About 10 days ago, America was turned upside down because of a fast-moving virus, Covid-19. On Thursday, March 12, I went to the grocery store to do my normal grocery shopping. There was plenty of water, toilet paper, food, and household cleansers. The very next day, with every news channel constantly talking about what may happen in the next few days, I decided to go back out to the stores and grab a few extra essentials, "just in case". I've never seen anything like it. Seemingly and actually overnight, there was a mad dash from the public to panic buy as if a blizzard was coming. The shelves, which just the previous day was stocked, were now empty. It was honestly one of the most frightening things I've ever experienced. I began to buy things that I wasn't even sure I needed. The sense of urgency to buy dry or canned goods was heightened. I looked for toilet paper, gone. I looked for disinfectant wipes, none! My anxiety was through the roof thinking abo...
