Our trip to Florida

Note added August 30th-I am sorry if you have already seen this post- I was rereading it and found some typos, and after I fixed, accidentally reposted it again;) 
 
So, we took a trip to Florida...and we have so many pictures, it is almost over whelming...
But I shall do my best to pick some good ones for y'all's benefit =) 

Olivia and I with some of our purchases at the big flea market. 



We were able to play one round of mini golf as a family!

Josh and I are counting the money we children saved over the past 5 months to play mini golf and get ice cream

We found a tortoise on a hiking trail and I got to hold him :)  I think we counted that he was  27 years old

Me and Olivia- enjoying the sun on the beach ( and Sophia in the backround ;p)

there were so many shells at that beach- beautiful!

everyone with their Ben and Jerry's ice cream

We packed up mighty fast when we saw this!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures! We had so much fun!
We had a wonderful time in Florida.  We swam at the beach nearly everyday; since we don't have any nice places to swim around us here in Virginia.  We got to walk on the beach at night twice  during that week and found quite a few interesting things.  We hiked, visited some Florida gardens, swam at the beach, swam in the pool, and visited our favorite flea market, The Big Red Barn.
I thank the Lord that He blessed our time away from all of life's hub bub and enabled us to just relax.
We were able to stop and see some good friends in Georgia on the way back....but you will have to wait to hear about that ;)
Until next time,

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Saved by Grace

Recently I was asked to share my salvation testimony- and even though I have done that many times before, I can not help being amazed every time I share it.  I can not help but think how amazing God is for saving me! He continues to love me even when I forget about Him in my daily life! How could I forget about someone who loved me so much, that He died  for me!!? " And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain— For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, wouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, wouldst die for me?" And saying that, I thought I would share my testimony with you as well.  I have been raised in a godly, christian home and therefore, I grew up hearing the Bible read to me everyday.  When I was four years old, Daddy explained to me the importance of having a personal relationship with God. He explained that I could...
