We went out to the CBR Tuff Hedeman Shootout - Samuel loved it. I was wondering if this would confirm that he was country boy at heart! It was a lot of fun to get out and our kids were entertained for 2 hours!! We put the kids in pj’s for the ride home because we knew they would fall asleep as soon as we hit the road - in the morning our son woke up with a big smile and wanted to see the video and pictures I took the night before. And Olivia has changed her “Yee Haw Cowboy” to “Buckin’ Bulls!”
Sounds crazy but I was in tears before the whole thing started. The announcer said before they started he wanted to participate in the greatest freedom in the US... the freedom to worship God. He lead us in a wonderful prayer, the cowboys all knelt on the arena floor. It was so encouraging after all the news about God being attacked by law makers.... and coming from a country where this is so not the norm! There were quite a few bull riders that knelt after their ride (not sure if that would have been a “Thank you Jesus that my brave but somewhat crazy heart was saved once again” or “Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to do what I love to do - all for you Jesus”. So yes we saw God even at the CBR! It’s really amazing how God is in EVERYTHING and still so evident!
Talking about having God in everything, He has kept us safe on a lot of miles! We’ve had a few travels in the weeks that Willie’s schedule has been more relaxed and I knew we had traveled far enough when Samuel says from the back seat “Daddy, stop the truck! I need to deal with Olivia!”
As we begin another year we anticipate seeing God work in families and individuals who come out to work with MDS and the people here in Pass Christian. The best part is that we don’t just have to see it happen... we can help make it happen. Thank you Jesus for your provision and your guidance.
