I meant to write a post and let you all know we were headed to Oklahoma to visit my parents, but I didn’t have time. We were trying to get packed, finish up the necessary chores to leave our house ready to “show” while we were gone, and just get out the door in one piece so I forgot to write.
Well, we are here. We left last Saturday, drove all day with a brief stop in Moab, a wrong turn somewhere out in the middle of nowhere that cost us some time and my bladder a little pressure, and an ending point in Gallup, NM. I was surprised how well the boys did in the hotel with us all sleeping together, but they did awesome….they were exhausted. We got up early on Sunday and drove straight through to Sayre, Ok…arriving around 6 or so. I think we stopped in Santa Rosa… maybe I got the name wrong, at a park and let the boys play… we ate some bad Subway too….
Anyway, we have spent the week hanging out with Nanny and Poppa, riding horses, calves, golf carts, swatting flies, eating, playing in the pool, talking with the wonderful people of Trinity Fellowship, and really getting a chance to hear from the Father, through the voice of our new friends here. What an awesome group of people, who show what it means to put relationships over pretty much anything else. We have been accepted as family since we showed up. We are staying in the “Trinity House,” have been prayed over multiple times by various people, invited over for dinner, encouraged, and much more. Talking about what we have experienced this week will require more posts, but for now I wanted to make sure that you got some pictures.
COuple pics from trip down. We stopped at a park in Moab, UT for a little running around time and lunch.
THe pool. Jake, my parents dog, loves having the boys splash at him. He will get in the water and just bark at them, trying to get them to play with him.
Nanny and too of her boys…. you can’t pin Eyob down sometimes.
joy joy joy….God is so good…
we love you all and are praying that the doors which get opened for you will be full of many blessings…
Now I have digested the “there”/ Is this sneaky to use your blog to promote myself? I am pretty excited about leaving early in the morning for Milwaukee for a dinner with a group of people I have never met. Hopefully we will get acquainted because we plan to spend the week touring Lake Michigan together. I’m excited about it but horses would be fun too. I understand that we will be driven to our luncheon in a Grand Hotel on an island with no cars. Horses and carriages will be the mode of travel. I think it’s doubtful but I hope they let me drive! If you are interested, I think you can have a look at the tour CountryTours.com US Around Lake Michigan. Will look for more pictures – they’re great.
