God Sighting

At VBS this week, we have told the kids to be on the lookout for "God Sightings" - where they see God throughout the day.  This morning, one of the 2nd grade girls shared that she had a God Sighting in the cemetery this morning.  I asked her how she saw God there, and she said, "because my grandpa is there."  She just lost her grandpa this past spring, and I thought it was such a beautiful thing to share.  I went on to say that it's sad that he can't be with us here anymore, but how happy we can be that he is in Heaven with Jesus.

Then, this afternoon, I looked over to the computer where Cambry was playing.  She was typing out the words to one of her favorite VBS songs "You, You, You."  She spent her computer time singing and typing away - a particularly happy God sighting for me!  Here is what she typed:

You you YOU
YOU CAN
TRUST GOD
ET DUZENT (IT DOESN'T)
MATR HU (MATTER WHO)
YOU ARE
RAZE YOUR
HDS AND (HANDS)
REPE AFD (REPEAT AFTER)
ME YOU
CAN TRUST
GOD
DEFNETLE (DEFINITELY)

    Actually, seeing the family picking cherries and apricots this evening was pretty much a god-sighting for me!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Cousin Week

We declared last week "Cousin Week" and went to see Cale, Mace, and Ty play football.  We also watched Addi play volleyball.  Three of those events were on the same day!  I'm sure the girls feel like they have seen enough football to last a long time.  Little do they know - Caiden will be playing in 2 short years and they will have to sit through a lot more of those! We did enjoy watching each one - watching their strengths come through, watching them interact with teammates and coaches.  They are all growing up - just like our own three keep doing!  How does that happen?? Now, if only we could magically appear in California for the other cousins' sports endeavors! Addi - already an 8th grader! Ty, a 5th grader - far right Good teammate Mace, also a 5th grader - #6 Cale, an 8th grader.  #83 (white shirt)
