When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Utah Summer Games Opening Ceremonies

So last night was the Utah Summer Games Opening Ceremonies. It is so much fun! For real! We've gone the past three years and have loved it every time. They always bring down the Jazz Bear and all the other mascots from the state and they have some other cool group or something. It's way fun! Well last night they had the "Golden Girls" group come and perform. They are a bunch of old ladies from like Orem who dance and stuff, it's awesome! And the big performance was Colin Raye. Now we got these tickets for free so we were pretty excited to go and participate in the activities. The flash was really bright but we were pretty excited to be there!
The Fireworks! Lily was bombarded with a lot of loud music and fireworks last night, and needless to say, I think it freaked her out a bit! She was jumping a lot and I got kicked.. A LOT last night.
This his Collin Raye with the crowd, there really wasn't anyone over where we were standing so we got some pretty good views of him performing.
He moves a lot, it's hard to get a good picture of him but he was a great performer even though we had to leave early because I was about to die I was so tired!

Oh I love the opening summer games, and the games themselves! I'm so sad I missed them. 3 more weeks and we will be there!
