Trip to Medford!
Well we took the LONG awaited trip to Medford the first week in June. We haven't been there since I was pregnant with Madyson...who just turned two years old June 20th! I can't believe it. It's been so long. We stayed with my dad and Michelle, who Madyson calls "gampa, and self/or kind of like shell, but she seems to add a "f" somewhow. We had a good trip. Loved seeing everyone there so much. We took Madyson to the fire department one day, but she was afraid to sit on the firetrucks. She loved going to the parks there of course. She loved going with dad and Michelle to take the dogs for a walk. I will now show you some pics from the trip. :)

Happy Girl
She has just started playing with this toy.

Heads Up
Eliana is such a happy baby. Recently I have been putting her on the floor on a blanket a little bit. She holds her head up really well now. She only lasted in this position for a short while.
Sneezing
Madyson has started doing something that is so cute. We didn't teach her to do it, I don't think...but I just love it. She did it this morning. I sneezed. Then she said "Bess you Mama." So cute! That's all. Just had to share it with you all.

Darkness
I awoke this morning to my wonderful husband inviting me into the living room to spend a few minutes with him in the Word. He had already left to his early morning prayer meeting and was supposed to be heading off to work directly following it. So I was surprised. Happily surprised. I was not quite awake, so he read aloud and I listened thoughtfully. He read Psalm 139. Verses 11-12 are my inspiration for right now. They are:
"If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee."
It reminded me of Mexico, the mission at Carmen Serdan, Baja Mexico. How I love and miss that blessed place. I was reminded of something that has always fascinated me about my time living there. I was never afraid of the dark. I am afraid of the dark...I don't like darkness. I don't like the creepy thoughts that arise in my mind when I am in the dark (surely all the movies we watch today don't help). But I wasn't afraid there. I really think it has a lot to do with two things. One, is the strong spirit and presence of the Lord in that place, which is so because of the godly lifestyle that is lived by all there and how the Lord is invited into everything and is the center of everything there. Secondly, I believe I wasn't afraid because of how much and how often I was in the Word, reading the scriptures, studying the scriptures. Ok, so three reasons. Thirdly, because of the constant praise that ascended from every heart there corporately and individually. It was a holy, set apart place. How I pray for help to transform my home more into a place like that.
