Hendrick Motorsports and Tom Johnson Campground

We were at Tom Johnson Campground from March 10 through March 17. Basically we spent a week waiting for the camper to get done. It was quite a test of faith as we were very discouraged at some points in the whole process.
I learned so much about trusting God and that he really does have our best interests in mind. We were protected from the slide out breaking on the road. Praise the Lord that they were able to fix it. It is still not the way it should be but it is functional and we have been reassured that the slide out is good to go. At least if anything else goes wrong we have a record of all the repair work and documentation that there has been a problem.
While we were waiting for the repairs we stayed busy.
We went to Hendrick Motorsports and Discovery Place. We also spent a lot of time at the playground that is on the campground. So, here are some pictures from our adventures around Concord, NC while we were in waiting mode.
 









Hendrick collected mini race cars and has his entire collection on the back wall of the museum.

I have boys - need I say more.

Blurry but oh, so cute!

Think "Big Hero 6" here people.

A rare sighting of my 16 year old actually participating in our day.

2025 - Presence and Prayer

Words - They're kind of my thing.  Spoken and written. The joke in my family is that I have too many notebooks and pens. I keep telling them that when I go to be with Jesus that they are going to have to do something with the huge number of notebooks I've filled over the years. Because of my love of words, I try to pick a word of the year to focus on. I start praying around September and I just wait until the Lord leads me to a word. Sometimes it is easy to find my word and sometimes it is hard. Here are some of my past words.     2015 - JOY     2016 - JOY     2017 - JOY - retired as word of the year - became my LIFE WORD     2018 - Unrivaled     2019 - Abundance     2020 - Abide     2021 - Set     2022 - Pray without Ceasing     2023 - Radiant     2024 - Walk and Remember What a journey the last few years have been. Each word has a verse that I picked to go with the word. It became ...

Transparent Tuesdays - A New Season of LIfe

The Sandwich Generation I always heard this phrase growing up but never truly understood it until the last few years. I have 6 children living at home that I am still providing for. But I also have a mother and father who are dealing with major health issues and need my help more and more. I am helping them walk through the loss of siblings. Helping them navigate caretakers and doctors' appointments and repairing cars and house improvements. And yet still trying to launch my own children into their own lives. I never thought in a week that I would be helping children do school, helping plan two weddings, and still have to help my mom deal with some tough decisions about my dad's care. It can be a huge weight on my mind, if I let it. It can also be a wonderful blessing.  I have watched two of my children meet and get engaged to two of the loveliest young ladies. I could not imagine better helpers for them. I have watched another child find a job that he loves to do and is eager ...

Making Jesus Famous

I wrote this yesterday after our church service. January 7, 2018 There was an article this week on the news website that I check every day. The name of the article was “Are we paying the price for failing to honor and teach morals?” It was a very interesting article about the consequences in our nation due to the lack of morals that are being taught in our country. The author basically stated that parents, the church, the education system, and culture itself have failed to teach this generation basic morals and values. The author’s conclusion was as follows, “ This is how amoral societies work. They tear down restrictions in the name of freedom; they later find those discarded structures protected innocent victims and society generally from the evil committed by morally ungoverned souls. May our nation, our culture and our people grasp anew the proven standards of conduct and teach them assiduously to all. ” I do not think that the author went far enough thou...
