I have been seeing a lot of turtles trying to cross the road since it has finally gotten warm enough for them to lay eggs.  It got me thinking how sometimes life seems to go so slow that everyone is passing us. Our trials seem to take forever before we get out of them.  The heat is building character while we wait on the LORD to finish His good work in us.   Sometimes I do not want to wait I want my problems (well I think are problems) fixed right now or better yet yesterday. I don't want to wait on the LORD isn't he the God that created the whole world, and universe and animals and bugs and fish and birds all in 6 days? Why can't he help me out and get me over this.  Why because I need more work than all of that did. I am so human and need the Spirit to help me and cleanse me. 
      My Life seems to be so filled that I have no room to fit anything else in but yet my trials are staying. Granted my trials are not as hard as some peoples but I am not enjoying this trip across the road (like the turtle.)
     I know that these trials are good but I do not like it when they are happening. My suggestion that I am trying to put into practice, is to call on God for comfort, strength, grace and mercy and mostly LOVE to others. 
   What do you think what are the ways you get through them?

Wow busy summer

Well we had a busy summer this year, so far.  We have had 8 graduation invites. I have 2 kids off to camp. One comes back tomorrow and the other does not come back til a week from tomorrow. I hope they are having fun and learning about God. My Daughter is at summer missionary training.  She will be teaching 5 day clubs in backyards and churches this summer. leading little ones to Christ and sharing stories. What a great experience she will have. SO I will be driving to take her to the places she needs to go and picking her up at the end of the day, every day every week well almost every week.  Some weeks I will wonder how to pick her up and how to pick up the other kids from camp but I guess that is what dad is for, right?

So tell me how are YOU spending you summer? What are you doing for fun and excitement?
