It is interesting how one day you can be on top of the world and the next day there is nothing greater than death. No I do not totally understand it. I wish that I could so that I could lend a helping hand. All that I can do is pray for the one who holds a special place in my heart and they don't even know it.
So confused and helpless.

Spirit Song!
Pretty amazing stuff happened this weekend. First off we took the teens to an amazing place called Kings Island!!!!:)
On Thursday we were up at 4:00a.m. and left for Norwood church at 6. We were able to do a little mission work for the church before heading to KI for an afternoon of concerts and walking.
On Friday we ran with Ice cream in the pouring rain. Was able to ride the invertigo and flight of fear.
On Saturday I worked the nerve to ride the diamondback, it is KI's tallest, longest, fastest, and meanest coaster with a lap bar to hold you in. I am pretty sure I lost all color that I had, my legs were shaking so bad I thought I was going to loose my flip flops, and I screamed the whole way begging to get off, by the time the ride ended it took all I had to hold back the tears.
There were many, but one great thing about Saturday was that Jeremy Camp was at Spirit Song. He used this story to share his analogy. Him and his little girl always stretch their arms out and say I love you this much. One day he sat there watching her eat ice cream and he said I love you this much. She was so into her ice cream that she only held out one arm and said I love you this much. He shared this: Isn't this how we treat God? God has arms stretched as far as possible saying Child I love you this much. We confess that we love him with our arms stretched far this much, but really we are so into friends, video games, and other idols/Sins that we have only one arm stretched out. That one hit home with me.
On Sunday we went to church at Norwood church of the Nazarene. We were able to worship with the congregation while hearing a sermon of God holding the key. After church we all changed and then headed for some skyline chili.
In all the trip was pretty amazing! The girls I chaperoned were well behaved having fun all the way. Looking so forward to next year. Right now I feel like I need a week to catch up on some needed sleep. VBS starts tonight, I will be at the dock with the croc and kids. It's going to be great!
