One of our favorite places on earth....this beautiful land we can retreat to out in Forestburg! We spent the holiday weekend at our neighbors, Rick and Bev Brown's, farm. What a glorious time we had. And it was so nice to be in a cabin out of the wind! Don't get me wrong, we love our tent camping...but come on! Beds, running water, a potty....you get my drift.
Gorgeous sunset that night. God is so good to light up the sky for us....so peaceful and calm. So beautiful!
Heading out to do a little fishing....
It was definitely fishing and not catching that morning. Not even a bite! But we still had fun. The kids are getting so good at casting and reeling!
Logan was a new man....able to actually get around on the four-wheeler! He even fished off the back of it. :) Three more weeks on those darn crutches!
I love this crew! Man, it was a gorgeous day to be outside...
Bethie was in her own pet-heaven....with the Brown's Daisy...and our sweet Josie girl. Her first trip out to the country! She loved it...
Bev and I thought this was a very symbolic picture.....cast off your shackles and chains!

Joy.
I am thankful for the way Rick and Bev follow hard after Christ....so we follow hard after them! Rick's whole face is a big smile....and he is constantly putting others before himself. I loved watching he and Logan play the guitar together- he never once took the lead. Just followed along after Logan and made him feel so special. And Bev continually encourages me in Christ through His Word. I loved our long walk and discussions about where we are in the Word...Romans and Genesis....talking about Jacob and how he was so deceptive....yet the Lord still loved him and chose to bring the line of Christ through him. Man, I just don't understand sometimes! And then as consequences tend to creep up on us...Jacob was then in turn deceived about Rachel! Sigh~ Such hard lessons.
I love serving at Beloved with Bev and sharing stories about the sweet ladies God has blessed us with there. Oh how each of us is a beautiful MESS! So thankful the Lord has sought to redeem me...to continue to run after me....and to make His mercies new every morning. Great is your faithfulness, oh Lord!
