Correction

For those of you who were wondering if I lost my mind on my 18th birthday....don't worry! I did not post that. My charming younger sister hacked into my blogger account and made me look like a lunatic :-) I hardly "did whatever I want to" and acted that ridiculous. Love you too, sis.........

I did get my driver's license! Yay! But, I haven't used it hardly at all yet. Only to drive over to the R's and trim their horse's feet.

Family camp was so amazing last weekend. God is so good!!! He is so involved in the little things of our lives that it continues to amaze me. This past weekend, He kept bringing the right people and right words to me at the right times. The family who was the guest speaker was such a blessing. They were an encouragement and a challenge to me. I have a zillion pictures that I may get some up at some point.

On Friday night, us, and the R's, and possibly another young man from church are going to see......wait for it..........COURAGEOUS!!!! I am unbelievably excited. Having David always talking about how awesome it is hasn't helped my patience any.

I will try to post a little more frequently than I have been :-)

To the KING be the glory!!!

The Sequel

Here is the result of the torture devices........... :)

(read below post to understand the meaning of torture devices)

funny ;-)

Right now, I finally have a little down time...a rare thing here. Worked outside from 6-11:30 outside building stalls with Jessie. When we came in, the thermometer read 111 degrees. YUCK....

Anyways, now, Mom is doing a rain dance, and, since I am actually sitting still, Anna attacked my head with the curlers. She got these new torture devices (I mean hair curlers) at Walgreens called Link & Curls the other day and decided to try them on me before she does herself :-) not really...she is preparing to do herself right now.

So, I am sitting here playing on the Touchpad while getting my head yanked around...um..hair curled ;-)

Mom says she's not really doing a rain dance...that's too pagan. She has compromised and is doing a rain waltz.

The Dance

One of the saddest things in my life happened on July 11. Our little Steam Roller died from colic. It was absolutely terrible to experience, and has been very rough to recover from. But, God is good and "His mercies are new every morning." He has most certainly been the One who has brought us through this time. At first, I couldn't even talk about it or think about it without crying...but it is getting easier.

This is a video that my mom made as a memorial to Roller. He was such a special stallion. Let me offer a little disclaimer: If Garth Brooks would sing that our lives were "better left in God's hands" instead of "better left to chance," the song would be slightly more correct :)
