July blessings

It has been a blast spending the summer with my kids.  Long days filled with swimming, staying up late, sleeping in, lots of grillin' and plenty of mosquito bites.  What a blessing!  It is also birthday season.  Justin turned 19 yesterday, tomorrow is Sweet 16 for Sumer and two weeks later Sam will be 13.  19 years passed like a blink of the eye with Justin.  It certainly reminds me of how precious each day is.  Life is just so short to not pursue your passions, love well and laugh often -- all within the freedom of serving the Lord.  

Shelterwood begins week #2 of Beyond today (a break from summer school and living "beyond" the normal schedule).  The girls will be joining TSTL and working with the camp staff and the boys will be out of town camping.  Last week the girls camped and the boys worked with TSTL.   I mentioned last week that construction will resume here on property due to a recent financial blessing.  More good news:  the Boys Lodge has been approved by the county for use!!  The boys will be moving over to the new lodge and the girls will move upstairs from downstairs in the current lodge.   It can sound complicated, I know, but it's a good problem to have.  God's timing is not our own.
