Hello all,
It is amazing how time goes by so quickly, especially when you are having fun. It has been a fun summer already. We are all doing well here. I chose this verse in Galatians because we are living by our Faith. A Faith based on our belief that Jesus is the Son of God and he we are all sinners and need Him in our life. As believers in Jesus, we are made new because Christ does live in us. People will ask me and the kids how we are doing and they will comment on "how do we do it". We are amazing they will say. But it is not us but God working through us. HE IS AMAZING!
The month of June went by quickly. Last I talked with you, I was going to run my Adventure Race through the woods at Farragut Park. I made it!!! It actually was a good time. A bit warm. I took first place in my age group (I have to tell you that there was just one guy, me, over the age of 50 doing the half marathon). But I did take 12th out of 30. Take that you youngsters. God was watching over me, because at about mile 12, I tripped on a rock, root, or something and went forward landing on my chest and temple. It was on soft ground and not on the rocky parts of the course. I got up and looked around to see if anyone was looking (no one in sight) and continued running. Little did I know that when I finished, I had dirt all over my face. The girls helped clean me up a little. Here is a picture after the race. My support Team!!!
Hannah is about to Graduate from her nursing school. July 9th is the ceremony at North Idaho College and picnic afterwards. She has been getting the highest scores on her tests, in the class. She has worked so hard and I am very proud of her. Susan would especially be proud of her since Hannah is following in Susan's nursing footsteps. Hannah now has taken over as my Nanny. Thanks to Dianne Shaw for the month of June as the girl's nanny. She did such a great job with them.
Celebrated Leah's birthday when she was home. She is back in Oregon fighting fires again this summer. And she bought the house in Bend, OR. So there will be some trips over to Bend in the near future. Planning Thanksgiving over in Bend this year. So continue to pray for Leah and finding a teaching job in the Bend area. She is never without work which is good.
Also, it was "Bring your child to work day" at the Navy Base where I work. Here is a picture of most of my girls that came to work with me. Sarah said that she had never been to work with me and Hannah insisted on going as well. In the background is the model submarine that I work on, Cutthroat.
Be praying for Jason as he goes off to Young Life Camp in Oregon. He will be working at the camp, in the kitchen and as a camp counselor with the youth. He is really blossoming in his faith and applying it to his everyday life and experiences. Aaron is doing very well at his job at Tomato Street. Making money, learning hard work and saving. Talk to you all later..... Blessings.
