Summer

Lately I have been so busy with summer fun, a new Bible Study series and Vacation Bible School that I haven't had a lot of time to write or read anything else. I can't even believe so much time has passed since I wrote something last.

 I was able to enjoy Dollywood with my daughter and son, mother-in-law, sister and niece. How awesome that my 3 yr old daughter and 2 yr old niece were able to have their first amusement park experience together. It was a joy to see them have that much fun. I really recommend taking your children to this park. It is a friendly and God centered park. It is beautiful and shaded. Both pleasing to the children and their parents.

Wow on the new Bible study! I am learning so much already about Esther. We are only in week 2 of a 9 week series! I'm learning more about myself and how "
It's tough being a woman" in this world. Also learned that there is a total absence to any reference to God in the entire book. How wierd is that! Maybe I can write a review about it at the end of the 9 weeks.

This year VBS has an amusement park theme which I thought was super cool since we just went to one. It also follows the life of Paul. He is one of my favorite writers in the Bible. The main verse is "For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." II Timothy 1:7. This seems to be one I have needed to quote over and over since I have taken on this year of classes. So here goes a week that I am giving to God to take care of; I am feeling very unequipped.
