Well, it has been a week since my last post and not too much is going on. We have gone to the pool everyday and enjoyed it so much. I walk over relax, cool off and walk home. I don't know how people survive the Texas heat without a pool. I am grateful we have one so close.
This weekend was fun and filled with activity. I got to be with my friend Holly 3 times in a few days. A rare treat! We also went to an outdoor concert with our care group and I thought it was so fun to be there. The weather was perfect as we listened to some local talent. Afterward, we headed over to the baseball fields and watch some 14 year old boys play their last game of the season.
We had guests for dinner on Saturday night and Sunday night. Both were nice nights.
One thing that has been on my mind lately is the cost of discipleship and the cost of proclaiming the Gospel. Though I know there are many costs the one I have felt the most lately is saying good-bye and being far from ones you love so much. Both Callie and Erin are facing a sad goodbye with girls they have each come to love here in Dallas. On Saturday morning I broke down and cried and told Fred I didn't want the girls to have to feel the sting of giving up your friends and why couldn't we be called to a church that never changes?? Of course, he very gently reminded me of all we have been given and how God has been so kind and that we wouldn't want to be anywhere else and that the girls have been taught that this life is not always easy, but God is always good. I rebounded quickly and repented of my tantrum, but I must confess, apart from hanging out with Jesus, my next favorite thing about Heaven is there will be no goodbyes!!!

That's so true...I can't wait until we can all be together at once---forever! Love you!
Yeah... I had a similar tantrum over here lately as well. But God is good, and someday we will be able to do something together EVERYDAY!

I'm working on it! :-)
Hey Di-di, With hi-speed I actually have a little time to check out other people's blogs. HOW FUN! I am so jealous that you are going to see Jenny at/after Jamie's wedding.
"...the girls have been taught that this life is not always easy, but God is always good."
these words could not be more true!
and through the moves, your family has been such a blessing to so many different people that needed you in their lives (myself included).
xoxo.

Isn't God kind to use what we miss to make us long for Him and for heaven? I still miss all of you, so I am constantly reminded of heaven! hee hee
Another fellow, occasional tantrum-er.
