A GREAT weekend!!!

What a great weekend that I had with my kids! Saturday was Joel's 11th birthday and my dad and I went up to celebrate with him. We brought Revea our dog with us and they both loved it. Then yesterday Joel and Michele got baptized in Platteville! Baptism is such a great step in our faith! They are proclaiming to the world that they are followers of Jesus! There mom get's all the credit for how great they are doing. And the church they are in! There mom is making sure that they know Christ and that they know how to follow them. I am so grateful for Regan and the Platteville Free Methodist Church!

I was told by my doctor that I could not travel that far by myself, so I am trying a new thing and listening to my doctor. That's why dad took me on Saturday and my pastor and his wife took me yesterday and I had such a great time with them!

I feel like I have lost some ground in my spiritual growth the last few months. But again, trying a new thing and trying to be under the authority of my leadership at church. If I listened to them early I would not have lost some ground. But, I am trying to daily do the right thing and be more like Jesus.

I am going to keep walking....

Forgiveness

One of the best thing that happened here in Iowa that I have been able to get to know my dad better. Through the twelve steps I truly forgave my dad. I am so thankful for him. He helped me out a lot and when I had surgery I could not have done it with out him. He has gone above and beyound. It is hard leaving him, but the bond between us has become strong and I an sure he will visit and I will to! Thanks dad for being there for me in this time. Love you dad.
