Originally, I wanted to start my blog out with just some summer fun pics. I couldn't do that though. I must go back a little to how this summer is different from most...and it is very different. What has changed? My heart...and Kenny's heart. I think it is safe to speak for him. The destruction in a physical sense was the day that a storm came along and the winds blew a giant tree down on my mom's house and destroyed a room and nearly took her life. This happened the following Thursday after deciding to leave our church. For months and months God had been speaking to us so loudly about love. I really couldn't grasp it until my mom's house was about to crumble. It is then that I saw love and felt love. People came from everywhere to help...some who didn't even know my mom. And of course, those who did know my mom and worked theirselves to death to help in the humidity and under a time crunch. Friends who gave their hard earned money to help out. Famiy who drove long distances. All at the same time God allowed a storm in my life...complete with the destruction of my heart and soul. It is torn apart, laid wide open, and ready for for rebuilding. This summer has been a journey. It has had difficult times yes, but mostly the most incredible times I have ever known. Times spent with friends who find themslves in the same storm or experiencing a new journey that God is taking us on. Times spent with my Father as reveals His character to me in a fresh new way. I have felt so loved this summer by Him. I am learning that their are storms that are meant for good.
