Finally

Hi All,
So I noticed I haven't blogged since April... my where has the time gone? Well I decided to go back through my blogs and reread what I wrote. Wow, this has been quite the journey however I am not where I was then! Life is good... God is good- ALL the time! That has been my latest journey I have had to walk through. That was a question that was posed to me by Pastor Kurt in one of his sermons at Family Camp- by the way the best time ever...woo woo! It seriously took me back, not because I have never heard it before, but because I did'nt know if I believed that! I know that the Christianese answer would be "God is good can I get an Amen...," but it was the thing I spent the most time thinking about all week at family camp! It once again challenged my prayer time and I can honestly say my God is good ALL the time:)
So many things have happened this summer that it has been quite crazy... first we went to celebrate our 6yr. wedding anniversary in vegas which was relaxing, then a few weeks later we left for a week of camping at the beach with our church family... seriously it was soooo much fun and I will forever have memories of D28 (our campsite), a few weeks later we took our Jr./Sr. High Youth to youth camp in the mountains that was some really good fun! Andrew was able to lead one of the boys into a relationship with Jesus...praise the Lord! That made the whole trip worth it.... my grandpa passed away- however Andrew and I got to lead him to the Lord 2 days before he passed! I was so humbled that the Lord chose us to do that! The funeral was beautiful and we had peace cause we knew he is with Jesus. My brother was rushed to the hospital due to an allergic reaction and it was super scary, we were there til like midnight- we are happy he was fine... we had an earthquake ya that's right 5.4!! It wasn't really that bad however being in the shower was definately not the highlight for me! We just got back from Texas visiting The Bullard Family... it was great fun! We saw and did so many things, but mostly it was just good to sit together in person with them. Andrew taught Gavin some wonderful phrases like... "Okie Dokie, which at first was dokie dokie" as well as "What up Homes." That's right Drew was teaching him gangsta talk:) This summer has been quite fun, busy and relaxing and I am gettin gready to go back and teach! I hope this has given you a little overview of what's been going on in the lives of The Shu's! I promise to update and blog more often:)
