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.

Camping

Since people apparently are reading my blog, I guess I'll post... :) This past weekend we went camping with my brother and some of his in-laws. It was a lot of fun! We played a lot of horseshoes, painted rocks, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, celebrated my birthday, and even went hiking in a cave. It was a much needed camping adventure! The girls were filthy when we got home, which means they had a blast! It was great going with some family and laughing and just relaxing around the campfire. We hope to go camping a few more times before the summer ends!

it's not too bad, plus we weren't that far from our house so if we needed to come home in the middle of the night, it wouldn't be so bad... but the girls just slept with us on our air mattress and all was well..
