What I'm Learning on Sabbatical.

The church will exist and thrive and go on without me. Because of previous, it doesn't mean I'm not needed, wanted or of value to the church. It just means others are taking ownership and God is still showing up.
It's hard to slow down for me and enjoy the moment(s), but I'm learning.
Tell the family when I'm emptying holding tanks, not to run or flush anything!
I still can't shut off the little engine in my head after 4 weeks.
I miss the church.
We live in amazing country with amazing people.
There are things I've neglected to teach my two boys.
I can drive an RV like a champion.
Filling up at gas stations, you often have to re-swipe your debit card multiple times to fill a 100 gallon tank.
Put on auto reponder for email, before you leave.
45mph curves mean 45 in an RV.
Going to the bathroom in an RV is equivalent of going to the bathroom in airplane.
I didn't realize how tired I was.
Construction cones and cans will fall down when you hit them with a 17,000 pound object,
Instinct is sometimes better than trusting gps navigation.
God is in this trip and we see His work everyday. We are blessed by His goodness, care and hand of providence!

God Showing Off!

On our sabbatical tour, as we like to call it, we've been trying to teach and show Isaac how real God is and how much he cares for the little things about us.

On our drives through Yellowstone, we kept encountering bison. Isaac so much wanted one to stop right in front of us so he could get a good picture. But no matter how much we saw them, it always seemed to be the car ahead of us that got the privilege. So, we tries once more on our last go around the park, no luck

We got back to our RV camp sight, disappointed we had not had a close encounter, we began hooking up our portable home for the night. As Isaac and I hooked everything up, we hears a loud commotion behind us. All I can say is Go is great, He has a great sense of humor and He stink'n knows how to show off! Check out his video(sorry for the sideways angle but I got excited!)

Our view at Glacier National Park.

P269

This is only our second day, but man am I tired. We decided to stay two days here. God's creativity and beauty amaze me. We are actually going on a hike this morning!
