Joint Base Charleston - March 19, 2015

We spent one more night at Kings Mountain and headed to the coast, one of my favorite places to be.
We were praying the whole way down that we would be able to get a spot at the campground at Joint Base Charleston.
Our prayers were answered as we were able to get one of the few spots left. Most military campgrounds are first come first serve and there is a lot of prayer involved.
It was one of my favorite campgrounds. The people were so nice and there was a plenty of things to do for the kids. They had a wonderful playground that we spent a lot of time at.
They also had several airplanes that you could go and walk around.
We set up camp and went to explore.
The campground was next to the airstrip so we were able to watch planes take off and land all day. We also learned that they fly at night too as planes were taking off all night long.
We all took showers in there very nice bathrooms and did some laundry.
We wanted to get to bed early as we bought tickets to go to Fort Sumter and had to be there at 9 in the morning.


These boys love their sister


Tirzah's "walking stick"

Yep, they really love her.

Absolutely adore her

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...
