The results of a bad fall during a run. The knee wound ended up
infected and I've been unable to run for 2 weeks now. |
 |
| This is how Shadow feels about not getting to run |
 |
This was the simitruck we hydroplaned into
on our way to Virginia for vacation |
 |
| Thank God no one was hurt but the van was a total loss |
 |
| Getting ready to go sailing in Virginia |
 |
| On the America Rover |
 |
| Kind of describes my summer |
 |
| At the beach in North Carolina |
 |
My son was accepted to this school!!!
It will be his first year in school |
 |
| Having fun crabbing in Chesapeake Va. |
 |
| We had a fun trip in spite of all the unplanned things that happened |
 |
| The girl's started riding lessons this summer |
 |
| This sign made me laugh |
It's been a summer of great testing but one that has been completely covered by His undeserved grace. You know about a year ago I asked God to help me to have better responses during trials, not after its over, when hind-sight is 20/20 as they say. But responding rightly in the middle of the storm. So here I stand in the midst of God answering this prayer and I will tell you it's been a fight...I am fighting because of who He is. I know God has a perfect plan and purpose in all He does and that it is my good and His glory that motivates every action. So I fight to prove...He is trustworthy, He is worth keeping the faith, and I fight to live this moment to all He has given me. In this I find joy, strength and peace. I look forward with eyes of faith to what He has in store.
I hope to get back soon to blogging regularly and back to half marathon training!! I leave you with this poem:
Before the winds that blow do cease,
Teach me to dwell within Thy calm;
Before the pain has passed in peace,
Give me, my God to sing a psalm,
Let me not lose the chance to prove,
The fullness of enabling love,
Oh love of God do this for me,
Maintain a constant victory!
