One Nation under GOD.

Wow its been a while. I have defiantly been slacking on my blogging lately! Well I hope everyone had an awesome 4th! We sure did! David got to be off all weekend and they even gave him Monday so I got to enjoy some time with him. For the 4th we headed out to Story Elementary this year for the big over the top fireworks display that Palestine always manages to pull off. They estimated that over 10,000 people came this year from all around to our little town to check them out. Our church had a tailgate party out there so we went and had an awesome time with everyone. My camera has decided to stop working and I forgot my phone so I had to steal random pictures from people that went. I hate blogging without giving you pictures to look at.

We got out there at five and started setting up

All the woman talked while the guys played football.


Everyone played softball. It was so fun!
Our Pastor Doug helping one of the little ones bat.

I was so gross and sweaty that I did not want my picture taken so I refused to look.


These don't do them justice. They were beautiful!

Oh yeah and I did my mom hair last week. I foiled in two colors and cut it.

It turned out good but being a perfectionist I defiantly see somethings that need improving. These were taken with my phone so of course they suck. I put "new camera" on the top of my wish list.

Also this week I had a chance to have lunch with an old friend from high school. She is going through a very hard time right now and I was able to share my testimony and some things that David and I have gone through in the past. It was amazing to see God work. I prayed that God would use me and give me the words to say and he actually used a time in my life that I was tested and didnt exacally pass. During that dark time I kept thinking what good can come out of this. Now nine months later I was able to share with her my story and have an impact on her. She cried and told me how much I had helped her. It is so awesome how God works! My friend still has a long way to go. Please just pray that she is able to see Gods will in her life and know that no matter how bad times may seem God doesn't abandon us.
