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 ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag. I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary). So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size. I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town. So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me. It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels. I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do. I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that. There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time. This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now. Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?" Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen? Now that is something amazing to me. 400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
