So we are wayyyy of schedule, it is super past my bedtime! :)

But I have just had this on my mind. I hope I can do it justice.

Troy - Our minister at the Lighthouse Retreat, told us stories everyday, that kind of pertained to our story, so I would love to share.

Here goes - He said .... "Have you ever been driving down the road, the radio on, the kids are laughing, playing, whatever.... all of the sudden it starts raining... it's raining really bad.... soon, you are clinching on the steering wheel, trying to get control, you turn off your radio, you shush everyone in the backseat....

Well, going through the journey of having a child with cancer is the same thing... it is our "storm" in life. If we are not careful, we are going to push everyone in the backseat including God. Even though we are clinching the steering wheel.... we are really not the one in control.... He is.

So focus on our love for God, know that He is in control, we just need to trust in Him and He will guide us through the storm.

Everyday at the Lighthouse, I was so touched by every message that Troy shared with us. This is one of many. I also have some verses and things to share also.

Happy 4th of July!

We are so grateful for the men and women that serve and have served our Country. We are so grateful for our freedom. My nephew is in Afghanistan right now serving another term. Please keep him and all of the others in your prayers.

I hope you have a safe and happy 4th! God Bless!

Thank you for your prayers, please continue to pray for all of our friends.... especially Ben Clough, Victoria Sutton, Connor Holland, Kate McRae, Xavian, Taylor (scans mon.), Krymson Feazell, Isaac Hatfield, Marlayna, and the many others.
