Our Beach Trip


















We went to the beach at the beginning of this month, and here are just a few pics from our trip. It was so hard to decide which ones to post. We had a good time at the beach, we went swimming, shopping, some site seeing, DJ and Matthew and the boys went to ride go-Karts, we went to the waterpark, the guys went fishing, and so much more. The day that we decided to swim in the ocean, I got brushed by a jellyfish, and let me tell you, it stung. So we went back to the house. Eric got bit by a fish, while trying to get the hook out, he didn't realize that those fish aren't like the ones at home, they have teeth. Sheryl about had heat stroke, because it was so hot the day we went to Barefoot Landing. So we took her back to the house to get hydrated and cooled off. Then closer to the end of the week, we had to take Mom to the hospital there, because she was having a pain in her right side. I thought that it may have been a kidney stone or something, since she doesn't have a gallbladder or an appendix. But the doctor's there thought that it was her heart. So she had to be observed through the night. And she was at the hospital most of the next day too. Then we left the next day. Mom is doing fine now. She ended up back in the hospital up here and sent out of town for a heart cath. Showed everything was good, and that she didn't have a heart attack and that her heart was in pretty good shape, except for a small blockage in one of the arteries, nothing to worry about though. So they told her to quit smoking and sent us home. I am so thankful that the Lord was with her during that time. Because the EKG at the cardiologist office had showed that she had a heart attack. So the power of prayer is a great thing.

Now off to a different note. And this is just so I don't have to post this separate. I am asking for prayer for Samie, my step daughter. She is having some problems, with her heart racing. They think that it may be from her blood pressure being low, but they aren't for sure. She has to wear a heart monitor for a month, to see if they can find out what is going on. She has lost a lot of sleep, because her heart pounding so fast is waking her up and making her chest hurt. I just ask that you pray that she will have a healing or that the doctors can find out why and fix it. Thanks. God Bless!!!!

I agree the power of prayer is pretty amazing!! Now if you can actually convince your mom to quit smoking, maybe we won't have to pray as hard. LOL! Well, it looks like you guys had fun, you would never be able to tell from the picture you had all kinds of craziness happen. You look good -- you got your hair cut and I think you've lost weight haven't you, lucky bum. :)

I'll be praying for Samie!
