The Trip

February 4, 2009


It's been a while since I've written. We have been on the trip which wasn't what we expected at all. In our minds, we expected to travel out of the country, but instead wound up going to Tulsa, OK for a camp meeting at Dave Roberson's church. It was an awesome time, we received so much, and it was an amazing trip! But, I know now that I made more of the dogwood trees and a "trip" than I should have. It wasn't about a "trip" that was important. What I learned was that it is more important to do God's will, in God's time, yielding completely, and being in preparation for whatever he has planned for my life. Since we've returned, I have learned to put more trust in God.


We also got to travel to Wills Point, TX to see my family. My mom is getting older, my sister is getting "softer", and my brother is still resisting. I thought perhaps I would get to witness to him about the love of Christ, but he isn't quite ready, but I know he will be in God's timing. We spent several days visiting with family and working jigsaw puzzles. It was "quality" time with one another--no televison--just time sitting and enjoying each other's company and getting to know one another better.
