Great Day for a Picnic

Today we had a picnic with our friends from Pathway Church at Washington Oaks State Park, just south of St. Augustine. It was an absolute beautiful day. What a blessing it was to be with everyone. Russ and I commented on the way home that no matter how long it has been since we have all been together - we can all just pick up where we left off. We spent 3 wonderful years with these people. We laughed together, cried together, rejoiced together and prayed together. We were a family. Just as God intended His church to be. It's been hard to go our separate ways but God is blessing us each differently and is still using our experiences from our little church. It's good to know that we have such a good support system as Russ and I branch out in a new church. Today for me though, it felt like I was "home".

The big oak tree - isn't it amazing?

I know this was taken a few weeks ago - but somehow I missed you guys today! Sorry!

Still no news on the house - so we will continue to wait. God's timing is perfect so we shall see. I'm really hoping nothing will happen now until after the holidays but you never know.

Russ and I are off to Pensacola tomorrow for a Pastor's Conference. We are excited to get away by ourselves for a few days and be refreshed. Pray for traveling safety, for rest, relaxation and spiritual refreshment. Pray for Jarod and Anne as they are staying with friends separately. They are quite excited and we are sure they will do well. Until next time......
