Wow, life!

Life has been flying by lately. I'm planning on leaving next Tuesday, the 30th, with my nieces and my kids for a 4 day road trip. We will be leaving after the girls are done Tuesday and driving 6 hours to Cranberry Township, Pa to visit a friend from my church I went to growing up. I'm so excited to see Karlyn, I can't wait! After breakfast with her, we'll be leaving and going to Gettysburg. This won't be a long time here but it will be enough to show Megan where the adress was given by President Lincoln after the battle. The next day we'll be going to Washington DC where we'll be visiting the Air & Space museum and the Natural History. After that, we'll be going to the Lincoln Memorial. Those who have seen the movie Night at the Museum 2, Battle of the Smitsonian will recognize that those are all in that movie! It will be another in and out but enough to soak some fun learning opportunities up! Friday we'll arrive in Emerald Isle and wait for everyone else to arrive on Saturday.

This vacation comes at the perfect time for us because we have a big decision to make that is very hard. You wonder if God's calling you to trust him, He has everything planned out and there will be big rewards. OR are we just trying to hurry something up because we're greedy? It's hard to know what to do. Every day it seems like we're getting a sign one way then the next it changes. This is somehthing that we did not ever expect to think about, at least not for a long time. This is not moving, etc... but to us is something that would have a huge impact! Pray that God gives us the wisdom to do what he wants and shows us some signs of what it is.

Rescuing Mission Team's - Tim's Account

Rescuing Mission Team's - Tim's Account

This is a friend from the church I grew up in giving an account of his time helping in Haiti. Tim is a missionary in the Dominican Republic and has been bringing supplies and help to those in need. Pray for him as he is sick and was admitted to the hospital this week most likely due to exhuastion. His brothers' are going down there tomorrow to help also so keep those down there doing God's work in your prayers.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Today is a day set aside to remember all that this great man did for America. We had a short day of school so we could watch a couple videos about Martin Luther King Jr. then we had a chance to write our own I have a dream speech. Megan did really well and once I explained it more to Cody's level, he did well too. Below are their speeches...

"I Have a Dream Too" by Megan
I have a dream that one day this nation will believe in Jesus Christ
I have a dream that one day we will all be raised to love the Lord.
I have a dream that one day all boys and girls will be thankful for what we have
I have a dream that everybody will give and not want.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that we all will love and not steal
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day we will not worship different gods.
This is my hope and faith. With this faith we will be able to love the Lord our God
in all different ways.
This will be the day when we all get along.
"I Have a Dream Too" by Cody
I have a dream that one day this nation will not hurt each other
I have a dream that one day nobody will get sick
I have a dream that nobody will pray to other gods.
This is my hope and faith. With this faith we will be able to be safe.
Megan's blew me away, I was so proud of her dreams! Cody did his best and did come up with some great ideas as well. Anyway, enjoy your day off if you don't have to work but take time to remember the man who helped make America better!
