| Our little road warrior Neely...she had plenty of room, but she liked to keep her head in between us to sit "up front" with us! She's adorable! |
Thanks to many of you for your texts, emails and calls...I feel so blessed to be supported and encouraged by so many special people.
Some initial thoughts about the past few days:
West Virginians are not very good drivers...the only 3 wrecks we passed were in West Virginia. But I will say, when their emergency crews are needed, they come out in full force — no less than 8 emergency vehicles were at each accident.
Ohio...hmmm, not much to say about Ohio. Their mile marker road signs weren't very impressive.
Indiana--GREAT country radio stations and LOTS of churches. We stopped in Indiana for dinner at a steakhouse I found on a billboard (when you're on a long trip, billboards with beautiful steaks are VERY effective), but I think it was a local bar and with my sundress and pearls and B's polo and tortoise shell spectacles, we didn't quite pass the "local test," so they sat us in a separate room by ourselves...not that we minded, but it was pretty funny!
Illinois — WAY too many tolls!
Wisconsin — I liked this state. Lots of signs for cheese, homemade ice cream, and there was a place called Biscuit World...my kind of world!
There are not enough Chik-fil-A's and more Arby's and KFC's in our country than I ever realized.
A John Grisham audio book is a valuable tool for a long trip and carried us 11 hours of the drive.
And now, at long last, we're here in Minnesota. It's beautiful here and the weather is great! When we pulled in to our apartment, the song from Annie played in my head, "I think I'm gonna like it here..." (Yes, sometimes I think in musicals!)
My biggest discovery, so far, is a movie theater with $4 tickets!! For just $15, B and I got two tickets, a large popcorn, and soda. I quickly texted my movie loving friend Molly to tell her of this new discovery. Movie goers out there will know that this is a find!
Also, don't fret, while I haven't yet found a Chik-fil-A, I have confirmed that they DO have La Croix here. And not only do they have it, but they have additional flavors like orange and lemon...who knew?!

Okay, sorry for the random thoughts on our big summer move. Now, let's get to the important stuff...remember last month when we started doing some scripture memorization?! Well, it's that time again! Can you believe it?!
I'll be honest, I had to do a refresher on my May verse this morning before I could move onto the next, so if you're in that boat too, don't rush it. But, I'm finally ready and I'm so excited about my new verse courtesy of my mom via Pricilla Shirer:
In that day he will be your sure foundation,
providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.
Isaiah 33:6 (NLT)
I love the image and reassurance of God being our sure foundation!

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him ~ Psalm 37:7
Praying I can put this into full effect this month :)
Continuing with Isaiah 55. Verses 10 -11a
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and do not return to it without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
Isaiah 40:28-29
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might he increases strength.
I'm reading Linda Dillow's "What's it Like to be Married to Me? And other Dangerous Questions" She challenged us to bring praise to God by how we live our lives as wives and offered Romans 15:5-7 as the instructions on how to do this. I made it my memory verse.
"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Unity in marriage gives glory to God.
Like Allene, I am going to memorize Romans 15:5-7! I'm coming up on one year of marriage, so it particularly spoke to me!
"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
OK - I'm in!
“[She will have NO FEAR of bad news; [her] heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. [Her] heart is SECURE, [she] will have no fear; in the end [she] will look in triumph on [her] foes.” (Psalm 112:7-8)
