Yes, it has been a while. Just about two weeks after my last posting, I left for another prison ministry trip to Florida. It was a wonderful trip, full of unseen challenges and incredible breakthroughs.

Two days before we left Little Rock for Florida, some water pipes burst in the ministry headquarters and flooded the downstairs lobby. |
|
Even in the disaster, the Lord provided help in so many ways. We knew the foundation was just being laid for a miraculous 2 weeks in the prisons. | | | |

My quiet times in the mornings were so vital to the rest of my day. |

I arrived home May 24th and had about 4 days to unpack, do laundry, spend time with my family and repack for the entire summer. I had decided to spend the summer with Emma serving at the Bill Rice Ranch as operational staff! I was a cook and spent the summer cooking for groups the varied in size from around 80 to almost 800! It was a good summer full of its challenges and triumphs, but I have walked away closer in my relationship to the Lord and with lessons that will go with me for the rest of my life. I was very blessed by the relationships that I formed as well. I am so thankful.

It was fun to have Caden and Olivia there for 2 of the camp weeks for the Ministry Internship. |
|
It was a blessing to be able to spend the entire summer with Emma. She is amazing! |

And now I am home (along with a cough) and settled back into my routine. I am glad to be home, but grateful for all that I experienced this summer.
...and hopefully, you will see more of me than you have these last few weeks.
