Update, Update, Update

Wow! I am quite the blogger recently, updates galore, I am sure you are thrilled.

I guess when it rains, it pours, though. We still have no electricity at our house, although we had a major cool front come through and the temperature was supposedly 58degrees this morning! Can I get an AMEN?! Sleeping with the windows open has never felt better.

But, we have some amazing friends that have opened up their home for us every night and fed us some glorious home cooked meals. (I feel like I'm in college when I say that!) Sunday night they fed us Spring Creek BBQ, there's nothin' like some good ole' Texas BBQ after a hurricane. Monday night they fed us some home cooked Fajitas, and boy did they hit the spot, and tonight we had Tim's Rib's. Yum. They have been so gracious to us, we owe them so much. They truly are our family. (This is also the family we spend most holidays with. We love them so!)

Anyway, along with all this hurricane business going on, my Great Uncle passed away yesterday in Colorado. He's more than a Great Uncle to us, though, he is more like a 3rd Grandpa. He and his wife, Irene, were never able to have children, so when we came along, they basically adopted us as their grandchildren. Herm, my great uncle, has been sick for a while, but finally passed away yesterday afternoon. It's been tough because they have never been the "church going" people. He did ask to talk to a minister last week, but you just never know. That makes this a little harder. It does make you think about everyone though, and really helps me to be bolder in my faith. Losing someone when you don't know where their going, is not easy.

So, me and my family fly out this weekend (all at separate times because of work and school) to join the rest of our family for the funeral. So, if I haven't asked you to pray for enough, would you mind lifting us up this weekend as we travel? And, that our family would be a light to the rest of the people there that don't know Jesus? We would so appreciate it. I am excited to see my family and spend some time in Colorado, but wish it wasn't under these circumstances. Plus, packing and getting ready to leave when there is no electricity is a little hard.

Y'all are wonderful, and I so hope my posts will be more positive in the coming weeks, but this is our lot right now. I won't be online much, so I hope y'all have a wonderful week and weekend. Think of y'all often and am so grateful for this little community.

So much love your way!
