I Love Long Week-Ends....

We went to the lake for Memorial Day week-end and the weather was perfect and the girls were well-behaved. It was a good time to get away. Our friends from Hungary came with us and brought their 4-year old daughter. None of them had ever been to the lake. The mom and dad had never been in water over their heads. They floated for the first time in their lives- with lifejackets, of course. It was really neat to see them do all this and have a good time. It took forever for us to convince them that the lifejackets would hold them up! Sometimes life is like that- God tells us to do things and we think- "There's no way- I can't possibly do what you are asking, Lord!" But, we do it anyway and all of a sudden we realize that even in the deep water we are floating and it is Him holding us up. That Hungarian couple is getting baptized at our church Sunday. I am so excited to see that. It reminds me of what is important in life. All the committees at church and everything else that goes on is silent to me when I see someone give their life to Christ. None of that other stuff even comes close to mattering when you put it all in perspective. I am still listening to hear God's voice to tell me what to do next. He won't lead me in the wrong direction- I just have to trust Him to hold me up when I get into the deep water.....
