It has been a long time since I have posted about the going on here in the "Little House." This is not due to a lack of things to post about, just the drive to do it when so many other things are calling for my attention:)
We have had a very busy spring and summer. We travelled with the Praise Singers this summer. They were a lot of fun to travel with and did a wonderful job in their services. Their tour took them out west, down south, and all about:) So our summer was filled with many church services, camps, and youth camps.....and many, many miles on the road.
Our girls were troopers and did very well traveling. It helped that Kent was able to drop us off so that the girls and I could spend part of the time visiting family.
We returned home and prepared to welcome all the students to a new school year. This was done with a bang....literally, since part of the welcome night was a huge show of fireworks that outdid a lot of small town shows. (This was possible because of the generous donations of several business men who wanted the school to have a nice Welcome Night)
School started up, and we headed out for a wonderful two weeks in Cananda with my parents. This was an absolutely amazing trip. We got to fly with our neighbor in his small airplane. He took us over Moberly Lake as well as over the area where a huge forest fire had started. This fire had at one point put the small town of Moberly Lake on evacuation alert this summer.we also were privileged to go with some of our friends on an amazing boat ride. They took us to a lake called Dinosaur Lake. It is a gorgeous canyon lake. How I love that mountain forest smell, the sparkle of the chilly water, the beauty of the soaring eagle, and the taste of a campfire picnic! A friend of my Dad had also loned him several four wheelers. So we went way back in the mountains, actually right up into the alpine! Once again, we were overwhelmed with the beauty of Gods creation! As Khloe likes to proclaim to everyone that will listen, "We saw lots of wildlife." We were privileged to even get to see a Grizzly Bear. Thankfully he was afraid of our four wheelers, and didn't pose a threat to us:)
Not only was the scenery so enjoyable, but it was also great to worship with Mom and Dad and meet all the wonderful young people who attend their Bible studies.
You can't get much better than a hot cup of coffee, a cozy fire (yes, we did need that once or twice while up there), and a good book! Speaking of a cozy fire, they actually had their first snowfall on Sept 1st while we were up there. This is rather early for snow, even for them....and I am sure it has already warmed up and disappeared.
Needless to say we felt refreshed and invigorated to return to PA for this fall semester.
How often we have proved the verse true, "My God shall supply all your needs, according to His riches in glory...."
