Family Vacation
Soo much fun!! That's how I would describe it. I was so thrilled to be able to spend time with family. We started our vacation with a trip down Rogue River via Jetboats! We went on the 64 mile thrill ride. The driver did soo many 360-degree spins.. to make sure that everybody in the boats got wet.. yes, including me (even with my wind breaker and all). We stopped by for lunch.. had chicken and lots of food! I don't think I ate a lot.. I think my capacity has been changed permanently with fasting. Thank God.
Then, we headed down to our campsite at Honeyman. We camped there from Saturday and went home on Tuesday. And there we went mountain biking (very nice place and view of the lake and sand dunes), spent time at the beach area & lake, went on the sand dune buggy ride and mini-golf. Now the dune buggy and the mini-golf were a first for me. The dune buggy was awesome! We had sand all over after we were done! It was a great wild ride for me that I would definitely do again!
Fourth of July
My first fourth of July in America! God is so good. I know that He has us here for this season for a reason. There is a reason for this season! (Cool rhyming).. Anyway, we had fun as a family. We had dinner at mom and dad's house with their neighbors Fred and Bonnie (very nice people to hang out with).
Then, we went outside and watched our neighbors' cool sky fireworks! I haven't seen one with my naked eyes in a long time since the day that fireworks and firecrackers were banned by the mayor in the city I live (and love) in the Philippines. So it was a nice experience for me.
Theeeen, we did our own cute version.. Matt is on the background in one of the pictures. You can see how amused he is. I love that guy soo much.. He is such a handsome Man of God! Enjoy the pics!
Celebrity Look-A-Likes
Here it is.. Somebody had this on their friendster account and invited me to try it. So I did! So this collage tells me who I look like the most with this picture. But one thing and the one and only BIG celebrity in the whole universe that was not here was.. JESUS CHRIST.
I had fun with this collage but the Lord brought something into my attention with this... "Many people want to look like the celebrities that they admire but one thing I desire for My people is to look like Me. That's why I sent My Son, Jesus Christ so that they can have the ultimate example and the very one who manifested My Image.."
We were made in the image and likeness of God. I desire to be used until I DIE! If I live, I live for JESUS.. and when I grow old, I will not face regret because I have obeyed the LORD.. and when it's time for me to depart, I have died empty because I have given ALL..
God is GOOD! When you have TASTED AND SEEN.. you will never be the same and you can never go back to where you were before..
