Home to Mississippi!


Oh my did we have a fun weekend! Josh went to Tampa for a wedding, so we headed west for some Mississippi fun, and that's just what we had!!! We had a blast all weekend. Sunny skies, delicious Mom-cooked meals :) , rides on Pops "tractor"/riding lawn mower, a visit to a brand new park right on the bay in Ocean Springs, and Pops even taught Isabel how to clean and peel shrimp! Yikes :) but she loved it! They loved every minute of being there, and so did I. It is so wonderful to be able to be at my parents home in less than an hour. Even at my age, it still feels SO good to go home! Of coarse, we missed our Daddy lots and lots and lots, and are so happy he's back home from a great weekend too.

A view of Biloxi from Ocean Springs...

Walking the boardwalk with Nina...




Miss Isabel modeling in her "Nina dress" as she calls it, smocked with love by my Mom.

My Dad and Luke riding on the "tractor". When we first got to their house, he saw it in the garage and his jaw dropped and he said in a whisper voice..."Pop tractor"!! He was SO excited, but he only wanted to ride on the part with my Dad!! Thank goodness, because that doesnt look so safe Pops! :)

Izzy peelin shrimp!

At the park!


Thanks Mom and Dad for a PERFECT weekend!

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
