Stopping By For A Quick Hi

Hi everyone! What a wonderful week we've had while housesitting in Victoria. Our friends left us with the most awesome house to enjoy. I haven't seen much of my kids because they have made fast friends with the kids across the street (which happens to be our new pastor's kids). They have done so many fun things and not once have I heard the famous words, "I'm bored".

This house is surrounded by trees, and flowers everywhere. There isn't any cable tv, but the kids haven't complained at all. They are too busy swimming, dressing up, having sword fights(wooden ones), playing with (3) two-week old Maltese puppies, and much, much more.

This morning was such an awesome time of worship at church. As we sang, "With All I Am" by Hillsong, I literally could not stop the tears from streaming down my face. I have been so blessed, this week in particular with all sorts of things. Some of the things have been unexpected financial blessings, and others just wonderful personal desires being fulfilled. I am so unworthy, but God choses to bless us anyway. We haven't received an offer to date, but I know God is going to provide exactly what we need until we do. I have peace right now, and for that, I am so thankful. We have another week to stay in this beautiful home, and my sister is in town for a week from LA. I couldn't be more excited.

For those of you wondering, Skip is doing better. He was just having some allergy issues, probably from all the trees and flowers. I just want to tell ya'll how proud I am of him and the ministry he is doing at Parkway. God is working through him like I've never seen before. He is happy and so loved here. We had two sets of friends come to see us this week from Corpus and we had such a great time with them. They really liked Victoria and were surprised to see all the new growth the town is experiencing. My friend Karissa who let me know that she was still very upset that we moved, decided this morning during church, that she agrees that this is a wonderful place that God has placed our family. She gave us her stamp of approval.

We aren't sure what we will do next week. I may just go hang out in Corpus for a while, but not having to keep up with the house has been so nice. I continue to pray that it will sell this week while we are gone, and the house is spotless. Kids, summer, and keeping a clean house do not mix. Amen?

Have a great week, and God bless!
