“Serve the LORD in sincerity and in truth... Choose you this day whom you will serve.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

A little peace and quiet

This weekend Aaron & I headed to my parents cabin. As many of you may know, Aaron started seminary this past fall, and one of the requirements for a class was for he and the spouse to spend 24 hours in prayer and fasting focusing on their future in ministry. We already feel lead to missions and evangelism, but we used this time to allow God to speak to us more specifically. The weekend was very relaxing. However, throughout the weekend we were able to find time to get out and enjoy the mountains. We stopped at Bass Pro on the way and bought some new jackets since the weather was getting a little cool. Saturday afternoon I worked a puzzle and that night we worked another puzzle. Aaron picked the second puzzle - a portrait of Cornwalis' surrender in the Revolutionary War. Just because he picked it doesn't mean he was going to help me finish it. He helped me get started, but quickly gave up and left the rest to me. I finished it, and was quite proud of myself since the whole puzzle was basically the same color. Sunday we traveled to Hayesville, NC for some wonderful french toast. When we returned, Aaron found some time to hike the mountain while I caught up on some sleep (I was unable to hike this time due to my ultimate frisbee injury). We got back home yesterday evening, relaxed and ready to go back.


The previous weekend I went to the cabin with my sisters and some friends. I'm also attaching a few of those pics for everyone to enjoy.




This is the friendly dog we came across that we named Booger Bear.
