Vacation

Jason and I were trying to remember when we last had a vacation. Apart from the funerals of dear family members out of state, it has been four years since we have taken any sort of break. During that vacation, we spent Christmas in Houston with Jason's parents, saw my sisters and their children and many dear friends down south. It was a wonderful time, and full of great memories.


We are so blessed to be busy in the work of the Lord. If you are busy serving Him, that means He has an opportunity to use you, and we pray the Lord has been able to use us where we are in our dear church. It is sort of odd for Jason to view the ministry as work, though as his wife, trust me, he's working harder and longer than he ever has at anything else, but because it is what he loves to do, and he is serving with a man he loves and respects, the bad connotations of the word "work" don't apply. There are tough days, and heavy loads to bear, but he loves it all, as does the Pastor, and they make a very good team.


So, he's never really thought about taking time off-he would hate to miss church! But, he is in need of a rest, and the Pastor has been so gracious in allowing him to take this break. We will once again spend the time with our family in Houston, and we are so thrilled to be going.


Pray for us as we travel-we will drive, and Jason will want to get there as quickly as the law allows. Pray for our pastor, his wife, our teens and the church as we are away.

We will post some fun va-ca pics asap! God is so good!
