When leaving the concert we were talking about going back to the condo to go to sleep. M said, "NO!" I said, "Daddy is going to go to sleep, and mama is going to go to sleep...what are you going to do?" He replied, "Eat pizza! Eat ice cream!" I think he is a teenager trapped in a 36" body.
The gift of using our friend's timeshare has been a blessing. The resort is gorgeous, and we love being near the beach. Believe me, we are REALLY enjoying our stay. I must say though that as I have walked the grounds, I've been a little heartbroken at the indulgence...the luxury. I've been asking God to not allow these finer things to numb my senses, harden my heart, and distort my priorities because, believe me, I like this stuff. The sparkling white linens, the lush gardens, the 100million channels on cable. I think God answered today in an email from dear Rebecca. She sent me this link. He's good, isn't He?
Here are some photos from today at the beach...
This poor seal must have been pretty sick to let me get this close (no zoom). He was right near the Lifeguard office, so I believe they called for help.

Hey, girl-
So glad you are getting some family vacation time, and that M is a trooper.
I tell you, we are on similar paths. My hubs and I have been following that blog for several months now, and my husband came home a couple days ago and said that we need to do a blog post about it.
This young girl's heart BLOWS ME AWAY. What an incredible ministry. I am encouraged, inspired and guilty of not doing a FRACTION of what she is doing.
It looks like you are having an incredible time all together! The beach photos are amazing and its almost like being right there....his expressions and actions say it all!!
