Myrtle Beach....R&R

We have had a great vacation in Myrtle Beach. It has been so nice to be able to relax. We have a great view of the ocean from our condo. Ryan and Amy Hegreness flew down from Vermont to join us for the week (ok, maybe we joined them...or we all decided to go together???). Rachael, Benton, Alli and Sarah came down for a couple of days, so we had 3 kiddos together. Super fun. And of course, no vacation would be complete without Krispy Kreme, hot and now!

One of the "saddest" and happiest parts of working with the teens at church is watching them "grow up" and move on to the college stage of life. As I have been watching this happen, it has caused me to think ahead to that time when we will have to let Daniel go. My prayer is that God will give us the wisdom and the discipline to rear Daniel in Truth. I love 3 John 1:4 "I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth." This would be my prayer for Daniel, that he would walk in truth. What a privilege and responsibility it is to be a parent!

Creation Museum

We took our teens to the Creation Museum in KY this past week. It was a great trip, well worth every moment. You leave the museum with such a reminder of Who our God is and the awesome privilege it is to be His child!
