The Heritage Tour

Our son Chase will soon be heading over to Australia. He will have the opportunity

of joining an amazing team while sharing the love and hope God has for his people.

See the link...please begin praying that the Lord will prepare and provide for

Chase everything he will need for this missions trip.

Dates: August thru November 2010

This is the day the Lord has made...

Lord...what direction would you have me to take on this journey? I know I get in a hurry sometimes and I turn right or left before I should. I want to learn to wait on you. I want to learn to hear your voice like never before. I want to have faith to know that if I prepare and do what I know to do that you will take care of the rest.You will take care of those things that cause me concern. This journey can be confusing sometimes. Just when I think I know what to do or where to go I find myself hesitant to "step out."

I place before you the journey I am on today. Appoint my steps. Guard my lips and help me to be slow to speak and quick to listen. I want to lean on you in all things. I want my life to bring you in honor in the daily stuff. Give me wisdom and help me to rely on your strength and not on my own. I want to give you my best. I want others to see your love living in me. Help me to accomplish those things that need to be done. Let this day bring glory and lift your name up.

Thank you Lord for another day!

Happy Mother's Day to my Sis...2010

Happy Mother's Day Sis...

It is so much fun being a mom along with you being a mom!

Some of things we said we would never do when we were a mom

we now do! Imagine that?

Okay how about that picture above. We proudly wore the homemade knitted

outfits that Grandma Thelma made for us. Probably by the strong

encouragement of Mom. Too funny!

This picture was taken at Thanksgiving time in 1974.

You are doing a great job as a Mom!

I am proud of you!

Love ya bigger than the sky!

Sis

Happy Mother's Day Mom....

Mom and I along with my sister use to spend a lot of time visiting

my "Grandma" Betty. Our Grandma Viola went to heaven before we were

born so her precious sister Betty Metzger was gracious enough to take on that very

vital role in our lives. She became like a "mom" to my mom and she was our Grandma.

That's me on my bike with Grandma Betty's dog Ginger.

Thank you Mom for being a great Mom! I continue to learn from you. Thank you for your

unconditional love. I am so glad we have a good relationship. What a gift that is.

Sis and I have been so blessed to have you as such an active role model in our lives.

When I make decisions as a "Mom" I think to myself  "what would Mom do in this

situation?" Because of your example I do not take my role as a Mom lightly.

It is an honor to be your daughter!

I love you bigger than the sky!

Love,

Shelley
