Long Pine Trip

We had such an wonderful little time up there. 
~The spring fed stream had trout in that the boys actually caught.  The stream was an orangey color from all the rain,
~We found a very nice hiking trail.  We saw a white tail doe at the top of the hike. 
~We got rained on every night and our huge 3 room tent kept us perfectly dry. 
~We got to play in the COLD water. Refreshing water.  Cold....
~We visited a little United Methodist Church on Sunday....a little old building with a handful of white haired ladies and a few other folks. 
~Our Mathias truly loved the outdoors and his first camping experience.
~Best of all was the time AWAY relaxing.  And Matt let me sleep a good part of the day away on Saturday....This mommy brained mom needed the sleep.

Me thinks that Mathias and Gwen might be related.

Your boys are so cute.
And I think sleeping the afternoon away sounds wonderfully good. :)

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
