He was having problems getting his tire to inflate and set correctly, so he pumped the pressure up to 95psi. When the tire finally seeded it exploded and broke the wheel which slammed against his head causing serious head trauma, killing him instantly. It has been a long hard week, but today we saw just how many lives he touched. The memorial was at the racetrack, and the grandstands were full. Fifteen hundred people turned out to say their good-byes. Never before have I seen so many people at a funeral, and for one so young. He was only 30 years old. <br />

<br />
That was the opportunity we had in December, along with 25 or so other people from our church. We flew out of Sacramento on December 11th, (except for the 12 people who left on the 8th for 4 days in London) missing most of the Christmas chaos, and arriving home just in time to spend Christmas Eve with family.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was absolutely amazing!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am still wading through the 3000+ pictures that were taken by my family, but I need to start sharing them. At least give you a taste of what we experienced!<br />
<br />
So without further ado, our mostly unedited photos from our AMAZING, highly recommended, want to go back, trip to Israel.<br />
<br />
My boys had never been on a commercial jet before (in fact they had only ever flown once in their great-uncle's Cessna, and these 2 cried the entire time), and they were a little nervous about it. Well, not LM. He was very nervous about it. So nervous, in fact, that he wanted to stay at Nana's, and not go with us. But we prayed with him, had others pray for him, and introduced him to the pilot of out first flight, and by the time we took off he had his eyes glued to the window!</div>

I got to spend Mother's Day with these wonderful ladies that have been such a blessing to me; my mom and my grandma.<br />
<br />
And yesterday that same grandma celebrated 69 years of marriage to my grandpa! What a legacy!celthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05797258748793644127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410137302707094640.post-65244147077782667092012-04-17T22:33:00.001-07:002012-04-17T22:35:36.949-07:00TrustIt has been tight here financially the past few months. The Lord blessed us with an amazing trip to the Holy Land in December, but since January it has been tough. I know for a fact the two are not related. And I can tell you He has provided in amazing ways. Yet I am so much like the Israelites wandering through the wilderness whining, complaining, and doubting. I struggle to see His blessings in the midst of what I view as a miserable situation. And yet He continues to bless me! The other night I was complaining to Him, yet again, about how things were not the way I wanted them to be when I said it. <br />
<br />
"God, I'm tired of this! I'm tired of trusting You!"<br />
<br />
I stunned even myself.<br />
<br />
Because if I don't trust Him, who do I trust? Certainly not myself. I can't change things. Well. I can. But would it really be for the better? Not if I am doing it in my own strength and not according to His plan. <br />
<br />
So after my rant was over He loved on me and reminded me that it is when I am so dependent on Him that I am closest to Him. That He has always provided for me. In the most horrible of circumstances, He took care of me. He loves me more than I can imagine, even in the middle of my temper tantrum.<br />
<br />
So I apologized to Him and asked Him to forgive me. <br />
<br />
I know it is going to be tough for awhile, but I will trust Him, and I will grow in Him. He has promised to never leave me. He knows every single one of my needs, and desires. He can do exceedingly abundantly above all I can ask, or even THINK! He is God! And he has blessed me tremendously in so many ways. And He will continue to do so. <br />
<br />
And I will continue to trust Him.<br />
<br />
Because He Is.celthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05797258748793644127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410137302707094640.post-27932135564869432982011-11-30T23:07:00.000-08:002011-11-30T23:16:15.497-08:0030 Days of Thanks - Days 27-30Day 27 - I am thankful for a van to drive and H's ability to fix anything that goes wrong with it.<div><br /></div><div>Day 28 - I am thankful for warm blankets and hot tea on a cold night.</div><div><br /></div><div>Day 29 - I am thankful for the numerous Godly men the Lord has brought into my sons' lives and the relationships developing there.</div><div><br /></div><div>Day 30 - I am thankful for the health of myself and my family.

It has been a great deal for all involved because we don't have to do the selling and she makes extra money since she deals with all of the post-op care. She has been wonderful to work with. When she took this litter it was very hard on little D. He cried a bit. Today we were informed that our precious Prince John and Red Alert contracted parvo after the surgery and died. None of this was the fault of the other breeder. She tried so hard to save them, and was almost in tears herself telling H. It's so very sad. Even though we never expected to see them again, it hurts.</div><a href="http://carit.smugmug.com/photos/i-cVWDzB3/0/M/i-cVWDzB3-M.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://carit.smugmug.com/photos/i-cVWDzB3/0/M/i-cVWDzB3-M.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://carit.smugmug.com/photos/i-x3gGzpx/0/M/i-x3gGzpx-M.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 400px;" src="http://carit.smugmug.com/photos/i-x3gGzpx/0/M/i-x3gGzpx-M.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>celthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05797258748793644127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410137302707094640.post-73641221635427684322011-11-25T20:17:00.000-08:002011-11-25T20:30:36.199-08:0030 Days of Thanks - Days 21-25I'm getting behind! Time to catch up.<div><br /></div><div>Day 21 - Thankful for all that we have and the opportunity to minister to those in need. Especially thankful that LV and D decided to fill Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes using their own money. Then we were able to spend the day at the church helping pack the shoe boxes in shipping boxes then load them on the truck.</div><div><br /></div><div>Day 22 - I am thankful that my good friend, Dawn, invited me to join The Twelve. What a great ministry opportunity! </div><div><br /></div><div>Day 23 - I am thankful for the van that I have to get me from place to place.</div><div><br /></div><div>Day 24 - I am thankful for a wonderful time gathering with family. I love that my boys enjoy being with their 2nd cousins. What a blessing to have 4 generations present and fully enjoying one another. And I am thankful for those who stepped out in faith to come to this country as well as the natives who befriended and helped the Pilgrims survive.</div><div><br /></div><div>Day 25 - I am thankful that my boys and dogs were able to go have a good time at the shop today. Missy and Daisy were able to get in a good run.</div>celthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05797258748793644127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410137302707094640.post-71014111160966564862011-11-20T21:39:00.000-08:002011-11-20T21:58:46.986-08:0030 Days of Thanks - Days 18-20Day 18 - I am thankful to be a part of a great homeschool co-op. LV and H are both involved in <a href="http://creationworks.net/">CreationWorks</a> learning all about radio and video production. A major project they are working on is broadcasts for <a href="http://www.whitcombministries.org/">Whitcomb Ministries</a>, and soon they will be working on episodes of <a href="http://www.jonathanpark.com/">Jonathan Park</a>! It is a fantastic opportunity for them as well as the other kids who are involved. LM, D, and I are involved with the actual co-op, which is working on a drama production which will be performed in February. I am really enjoying this group of kids and parents. <div><br /></div><div>Day 19 - I am thankful for the art of photography. I love learning more about it and being able to capture moments of my life that will not happen again. I spent the day at a photography class at another Calvary Chapel with a group of believers who share my interest in photography.</div><div><br /></div><div>Day 20 - I am thankful for the YES team leaders at church. They love these kids and willing offer their time to lead these children and young adults in using their gifts for the Lord.</div>celthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05797258748793644127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410137302707094640.post-87394056860754981222011-11-17T23:17:00.001-08:002011-11-20T21:36:56.337-08:0030 Days of Thanks - Day 17I am thankful for a wonderful church family.celthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05797258748793644127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410137302707094640.post-12643038886430753542011-11-16T23:19:00.000-08:002011-11-16T23:24:58.886-08:0030 Days of Thanks - Day 16I am thankful for the opportunity LV had today to spend the entire day at work with H sanding on his truck. He came home filthy dirty and grinning from ear to ear. After showering he came out dressed in his filthy jeans because he was so proud he wanted everyone at church to see he had been working hard all day. <div><br /></div><div>No worries.

They have always been there for me during the hard times and the fun times. They are my biggest supporters, letting me dream big, but offering advice when they feel I may be making a foolish decision. My mom has been the one to guide me spiritually and lead me to my Lord and Savior. We have had many heart to heart talks over the years, and she is usually the first one I call with a prayer request (after my hubby). We have laughed and cried (especially Mom when it comes to the crying), and watched many Hallmark movies together. And I can't forget Mom's and Dad's willingness to babysit at a moment's notice on so many occasions.celthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05797258748793644127noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410137302707094640.post-70199508326622089002011-11-14T21:07:00.001-08:002011-11-14T21:09:53.013-08:0030 Days of Thanks - Day 14I am thankful for the privilege of homeschooling my 3 boys.
