Our first camping trip together!! Part 2

So one of the most fun things about Wallowa Lake is going up to

the store for an ice cream cone. They have wonderful and huge ice cream cones.

Here is a picture of my parents, Nathan, his mom and brother and a couple

of our friends enjoying their ice cream.

My mom and a couple of our friends enjoying the

ice cream. Such a fun time :)

Here is Nathan and his dad enjoying a cup of coffee

outside of his parents camper.

Nathan is looking at his phone getting ready for

a golf tournament that he will be going to on Monday.

He has his golf club out to practice with it. I think he is trying to

find the nearest golf course to us.

So I decided to do a little bit of shopping. Isn't this

such a cute little store. It is called Heidi's Towne Shoppe.

Nathan is chatting with our friend Henry. Both just enjoying

the scenery.

On Sunday, we had a potluck with the families

that we know that we're camping or had come up for the day.

Here is my nephew Trevin trying to climb the stump by the tree.

He was having a good time climbing up there and jumping off.

Uncle Nate gets to have fun giving piggy back rides.

Look at the smile on Trevin's face :)

This was the first year that my nephew Brayden was allowed

to drive the go-kart. He is ready to go with Grandpa beside him.

But of course all of this fun is a good walk from the campground and

Trevin was getting tired so Grandma decided to give him a ride

on her bike.

Brayden didn't want to miss out on the fun so

Grandpa gave him a ride on his bike.

Uncle Nate decided to play frisbee with the niece and nephew

to keep them busy for awhile. Wasn't that sweet of him?

Here are my parents and sister-in-law taking a few

minutes to relax before getting ready to head home

from the fun camping trip.

My niece Cheyenne, running to have fun with the boys

playing frisbee...

And here is Cheyenne and I riding in the go-karts.

It was a really fun day!!

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" I remember being taught this when I was pretty young. Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything. In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with. Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Unfortunately, this saying is not true either. Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other. There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below. It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Trust in God

Today while watching Superbook with my children the theme of the episode was to trust in God. "Trust in God and He will show the way." Do we really understand what it means to trust God? Can we truly comprehend this statement? It's easy when things are going our way. It can be easy when things aren't going our way, but life is still going well. However, do you still trust God when life is hard? When everything seems to be going wrong in life? Do you trust God through the hard stuff? There is an old time song that says "The God on the mountain is still God in the valley. When things go wrong, you know that He will make them right. The God of the good times is still God in the bad times and the God of the day, is still God in the night." Think about the words to that song. No matter what, God is still God. He still has control over the outcome. Recently, my mom and I were talking an...

God's timing

My kids love to watch Superbook, it's a cartoon about Bible stories. Today the episode was about Lazarus and about God's timing. This past weekend I heard a song on the radio and I can't remember the song, but one of the lines talks about how faith can move mountains and God can still perform miracles today. I have been thinking about those two lines this week, how God can move mountains and still perform miracles today. Do we have the faith to stand and believe this statement? Then watching Superbook with my kiddos this morning, it was all about God's timing and that sometimes God has a better plan for us than what we can think or ask for. Have you ever felt when you were praying that you just didn't know how or when your prayers would be answered? Sometimes, it doesn't feel like your answers are coming or that your prayers are going anywhere. Did you know that God still hears each and every one of those prayers? It just might not be His ...
