Returned to Reality

My vacation to Florida and Missouri has come to an end and I am trying to get back into the swing of things. It was such a blessing from the Lord to be able to have the time off from work and spend it withthose I love. I am so thankful to Him for it. Disney World was great as I was able to connect with my inner child. ;) I am not much on rides but I did venture on to some pretty crazy ones. I was also able to meet and get my picture taken with Mickey & Minnie (who gave me a kiss, hehe), Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle. We also went to Universal Studios and the beach.

I returned from Florida on Saturday and then hopped in my car to drive to Missouri. When I got home I showed up my hundreds of pictures (of course!) and I played Uno with my family until three in the morning. Sunday I got to go to Meadow Heights and see my church family and then...I was able to go to See You at the Pool where several people were baptized. The Lord blessed us this year with 117 baptisms...that is 117 people in whom God miraculously awakened dead hearts to see the worth and beauty of His Son Jesus Christ. He alone deserves the credit but I am so thankful that He used our church as His vessel in the process.

Oh and I would like to update y'all on my mom. It has been three weeks since her surgery and she is doing very well. The gash in her foot from the surgery has shrunk two inches. This is no doubt the Lord's doings. The doctors think she should be up on her feet in a few weeks! I cannot wait until the Lord completely heals her foot so she can use it normally again. What a gracious, faithful, and powerful God we serve!
