Family Reunion

We had a family reunion this weekend of my side of the family.  My parents and all my sibling's (2 sisters and a brother) family was able to come.  9 adults and 9 kids!  It was lots of fun!



We rented a water slide one day.  I had no idea how big this thing was!  It was taller than our second story.  I'm very glad no one got hurt!  They were flying down this slide!


My dad even went down the slide!  And then went back up for a second run!


The following day, we went to Nerfies and the parents enjoyed shooting all the kids and the kids enjoyed shooting back!

We also had a worship time as a family.  We selected some of our favorite hymns/worship songs and gave thanks for all God has done.  I would not be here today without His love for me and strength from the Holy Spirit.  God has shown His love for me through my health and getting me this far, through the Holy Spirit giving me strength during the rough days, through my family's support and through all my friends support and encouragement.  The love that you have shown me has been incredible.  I wish I had known how to show love to other people like you all have shown to me.  I am so grateful for all of you.  Thank You!

This clip is the kids singing a song that they learned at VBS this year. 

With You, my God, beside me

I'll rest, I'll trust Your timing

Right now, I'm picking up praise

Although the night grows darker

I'm safe with You, my Father

Right now, I'm picking up praise


So, let my praises roar

Roar like a freight train

Louder than all my fears

So, this is war

Shout to the darkness

You're not welcome here

Through it all 

Hallelujah, hallelujah


It was a very special weekend to be able to have everyone together.
